Is it a crime to choose to remain single?

Lucky for you its not anymore ! As kids this was the ultimate life to have kids and settle down.Hats off to the new generation for taking their independence ,instead of a unhappy life that mom or dad basically drilled into us. People will always have something to say,but letting them know you are quite happy with your life as it is .Might stop some of the why's(lol) . I love my husband dearly but do wish at times ,I would have waited longer to be independent enough to stand on my own to feet. Enjoy your freedom as long as you can.

Hello D_e_v81 and welcome to my lot. I think it is okay for people to stay single. I don't think marriage is for everyone. If I was a young person I don't think I would get married either. When I got married to my first my mother made me get married. No I wasn't pregnant! I never wanted to get married but my mother thought that all of us should be married and out of her house. I wanted to finish school and get a college education. I didn't want kids I didn't want a husband. But thank God she did make me get married I have some beautiful children and have the best husband that ever could have been NOW!

come one man.. nobody wants to be single.. they only remain single if there is nothing he/she can do about it.. one just can't choose to remain a single just like that.. sooner or later your animal instincts will get the better of you. i suggest you address whatever is your real concern forbidding you from enjoying having a partner in life and get going.. enjoy mylotting..:)

For me, it isn't a crime. The only crime for me is not to love. Remaining single is just a simple proof that we're afraid to love and we're afraid of getting hurt. In other words, failed to be loved by someone you really loved.

Hi. Single blessedness is a choice. It's never going to be a crime. But you're right, families and friends would really keep on pestering you until you show up with someone you love. But who cares? It is your life. For as long as you are happy and contented with your single life, hold can your nose and ignore them as best as you can.

Being single is not a crime. True, it really bugs me when someone asks, "So why are you still single?" Can't you think of something else to say like " How are you doing?". Aren't there any better ways of breaking the ice with someone. It's like telling someone in their face , "Hey, you seem to be getting bigger by the minute". I am single too. And singletons have reasons for being in that state. I can name a few: 1) They simply enjoy being single 2) They find freedom in being single. You can go to places by yourself. 3) They simply can't find someone they like yet or they are waiting for the right person 4) They may have issues that force them to be single as of the moment, like when they are just divorced, are having financial difficulties, jobless, needs to focus on career and other issues 5) They are not ready to get married yet 6) They have decided to take the path of single blessedness. So far, these are what I can think of. But I think it's best to respect the singleton's choice to be single.

I think there is no problem with being single. It is not a crime. For as long as you are happy with life and you do not hurt anyone, then it is never a crime. May you be single or married. Some people find happiness by being alone, some by having friends and some by having families. What is really important is that you live your life the way you want it to be.

It is a personal choice and there is nothing wrong with it. If I can choose to have a girlfriend or marry someone, I can very well choose to remain single. I do not know why the society cannot accept singles. It is true that they are actually looked upon almost like criminals. I have a uncle who has not married and everybody thinks that he has ruined his life. What is wrong if he chooses not to have a partner? I just do not get it.

Who told you it is a crime? I do not think so. Rather than living life like a hell with incompatible companion, it is better to live alone. Being single, you are free to judge your life and live life at your own conditions. But, this is true that, sometime you might feel depressed and get desperate to share life with others. But this can also be compensated with considerate friends.

I don't think it's a crime to be single.in fact,it's a blessing.it is very hard to live a decent,debt-free life now.being married means you have to earn twice so you can support your family.if being single doesn't bother you,then show people how much you enjoy being single.a happy life is not dependent upon having a bf or gf.

It is not a crime to decide to remain single but in these days it seems like something that is impossible. There is nothing wrong if you say you want to remain single but family and friends will not let you be. I think you should let them know your decision, although they will try to make you change your mind, if you stick to your decision, they woud leave you alone

It should not be considered a crime to remain single, and nobody has the right to judge on what you choose. It's your life, and you should be allowed to live it however you want. If that means remaining single and not getting married, then so be it. Why should anybody try to stop you? I believe that some families may disagree with their children staying single because there is more chance of not continuing the family line through to another generation, and it must be every family's nightmare to think about the prospect of fading away. However, they should also respect the fact that you don't want to get married just yet. You have all your life ahead of you, so why rush into something so important and life-changing? After all, is it not better to wait until you're absolutely sure about a partner and remain single during that time, or be pressured into marrying somebody that you soon realise isn't the person you would want to spend the rest of your days with, and therefore live an unhappy existence?

No it is not a crime it just they teasing at you because they want to see what your mine life because if you have a gf you have a responsibility to handle maybe they want to see about that time, specially they don't live forever in the world.

no man.. you are a normal human being and its not a crime to be single.. hey man.. welcome to the CLUB.. Lolz.. I too is still single, but i never care about that as long as im happy with being single, to hell with them.. hahaha man, these days are really tough and i may say "we're MALE people!!!! we are MALE!!!" we can married anytime we want, we don't get pregnant so all ladies out there who think single man is a lonely man.. to hell with you!! hahaha I never be embarassed never having gf because i know for sure that one day i will find her and when that times right im sure that both of us will be happy, because i don't rush everything just to get an attention.. As what Michael Buble say to his song.. "I Just Havent Met You Yet"... so be cool my friend..

No it is not a crime and if you want to stay single then that is what you should do if it makes you happy do not let anyone talk you into getting married. It is not just in today's society years ago families wanted the members of their family to get married and have children. They wanted things to pass from one generation to the next generation and on down the line.

...Hi d_e_v81, No and no again, it is not a crime. You want to be single you stay single. If and when you decide you want to marry then go for it. You cannot live someone else's life or do what other people think will make you happy. I once had cousin who said "a woman is not complete until she has a child". I beg your difference I think I said at the time. I am as complete as I can get, I have all my toes, all my fingers, two eyes, two feet and all my other body parts that make me a complete woman. I was perfectly happy the way I was and I still am happy and complete. People will try to impose their beliefs on you and if you accept them, then they are taking control of your life and that makes no sense. Sometimes misery loves company, live your life the way you want to. Be happy with your choices. Take care.

There are many guys that is so important to me, and i have only one guy that i love. But i still prefer to be single, because i'm preparing for my future and for my studies. What i mean to say is that, if your happy with that and you think you'll be okay being single Go for it. But we all know, that we must build family in the future because we need to right. It's part of growing up. You have to decide. Goodluck.

Maybe in the eyes some people ,it is quite eccetric to remain single when most people of your age got married and already had their own babies.In my opinion,it is you yourself that have the authority to determin your life,and other guys should respect your decision and not take you as a freak even if it is hard for them to understand you.

Well, for me I do feel embarrass sometimes when I say I'm single because everyone else around me has someone already I feel like left out or alone sometimes. But I don't think it is a crime. I think you should not look for the person you have to be with. You should just wait for the right time for the right person to come. For now, just live life as it is. You don't need to have a girlfriend to be happy, well maybe it would be happier if you have one, but just relax, don't feel pressure about anything. Something will come to you, just wait for it. =)

It's definitely not a crime. Its your choice do be single or not even though your family might not want it. I agree that it is nice to be single and independent.
