Single for life?

I seldom say that I don't want to get married. But I realized that everybody should find a partner to be with him/her for the rest of their lives. Many women today are old maids. But still they're contented and happy without partner. But hey, everybody wants to get married. That's the rule, since Noah's time. It's been pair off or drown!

So you're going to stay single for the rest of your life? Isn't it too lonely?

Being unmarried doesn't neccessarily means not having a partner. Having to marry is an old custom, but nowadays people don't feel that urge, and just share their lifes with someone without a paper that makes it official. Nobody is too young or too old for love, so let's enjoy with our without a partner!

There is no way I will get married. I see the whole thing with the flower girl, the groom, the walk down the isle, etc as being one large unnecessary celebration. Is there anything a couple cannot do unless they are married? Then if that happily married couple ends up getting a divorce, someone will probable lose stuff they own. Being single is the way to be for me.

Wait, eventually if it is for you, it will come. Our hearts desire will come to place.

I don't think marriage is the ultimate reason to be happy in life.you can be happy even if you are single.life is full of reasons to be happy about.while marriage can make you happy,it isn't universal.some women prefer the single life over married life.I say,whatever make you happy,go for it.

I am single, and not because i don`t want to get married I don`t want to get married just because everybody pushes me to get married. Some of my best friends are already divorce with kids because they are not happy with their It is not about WHEN you will get married, but it is about WHO you will get married with. If you`re not really into someone, or you feel that someone can`t understand you, don`t force your heart to have relationship with that person. I feel grateful that i am not with my last ex, who is too coward to take risk and not responsible. Imagine that i am now his wife, our marriage wouldn`t last long. Being single doesn`t mean you can`t be happy. just see how fragile marriage nowadays is, and don`t feel too old to find your soulmate. Don`t be too rushy

I will be single for life! I am 47 years old and I know I will be single for life! I prefer to be single and happy instead of married and not happy! Being married is overrated and I have seen way to many lousey marriages! Some that end in divorce and some that keep going on when they shouldn't! So single is for me and happy about it!

Yup and like me i am being force to married someone i barely know which drives me mad as i do not like to married a stranger. Though, I like to find a partner who understand and accept me for who i am without judgment. Though, need a lot of encouragement before jumping on as I am not really sure about my emotional state. I am caught between halfway as i like to have companion while the other side of me is longing for a lot of freedom.

I don't criticize the people who chose to be single all their lives specially the women because its still a choice and if you wanna live that way then so be it. It's better to be single all your life than to end up with someone who will give you hell instead of heaven.
