i am still single. I have always been confronted with my fear of tying those knots. I dont know.. but something inside me is telling marrying would kill my freedom. freedom to do anything...... you think marrying is worth risking the freedom i have as a single person?

as long as your happy being single then why take a rush to get married, you can enjoy your life to the fullest while still single though you must also think that you cant be single all the time as somehow you still need someone with you to talk with and cuddle with specially during the time that your old already, if you didnt feel it now then yes since your still young and have all the time and energy to do everything, but what if your old already. you must know your limitation and must plan for having your own family and kids if not now then in the future thats why try to live life to fullest now. getting married doesnt mean your taking your freedom as a matter of fact you can still do things with the permission of your wife. i guess thinking of losing freedom once married is wrong as marriage is not the end of everything but the start of your new journey.

when a goat meat a female that he is interested in, he follow her till he get it and move on and live freely. Am still single since most of the partner i dated wanna deny me the simple freedom that I requested. If not for one fact that I wanna make a baby or two, why should man worry bout marriage?

It's true, marrying would definitely mean losing your freedom, some even lost their freedom to wear as they please. It's funny how people would willingly 'lose' a lot of things when they love. And when the love is there and in abundance, you will find it's worth it, and when it dwindles, the opposite also applies.

like what they say, no pain, no gain. There's probably a different kind of happiness or thrill in marriage (marriage with real commitment I mean, cause some spouses actually cheat). I'm okay being single, it's fun, I get to do anythign I want, come home any time I want, and be with any one I want... It's a different kind of life. It has a bad side too though. Sometimes when I'm feeling sentimental and upset, I can't seem to trust anyone I have around me. So I guess that the thing we singles miss out on. When I get married I want it to be perfect. Well nothing's perfect, but almost perfect. What I mean by almost perfect is that, even with the mistakes I'll be bound to make (and the same applies to my partner) , we promise we'll always have each other. No matter what :D

well you should not get married unless you really want to, unless that person is everything to you. If you do get married cause you think you must, or that the society says so then you re going to end up thinking like you do now. I m a married man myself. What i can tell you is not about freedom :) It s just another life, just as married and married with kids is 2 different things. If you really love your wife then you will not want that freedom you re talking about now as a single person. Ofc in a normal mariage with normal people you ll still get to have a drink with some guys and play pool or whatever way you have of having fun with the guys. But if the mariage is true there is no "Risk" involved, since you won t want freedom even if it s handed to you. So just think of it as a different life not an alteration of your curent one. And don t get married unless you really feel you should. Hope that my answer different from the official "having a family your freedom" one helps you :)

don't marry someone for the sake of getting married. be sure that you want to spend your life with a person when you want to get married.
