Living Single V/s Commited relationship which one is better???

Since I vowed never to marry , I thought I would Always be alone. Many implied since I didn't want marriage , I didn't want love. Wrong. I just didn't and still don't want to marry. I see marriage as the end of romance and I would Have to stop being myself and become a wife. but a year and half ago I was found by a great guy. He loves me the way I am . We will never marry but we Are together. So to answer your question it All depends on what you want out of life. If you Need to marry , then marry. If you prefer to remain single , do that Or if you want love Without marriage , then go find it. It is All up to each one of us to choose. and it is so sad to want one type of life but live another! I hope you live the life you want. Take Care.

Try to know yourself better. If you are happy living a single life then that will be a good choice for you but if you feel miserable being alone and need someone to love and commit your life with then choose the latter. It is important to know what you want and what makes you happy. Be true to yourself and what you want. Although it is also helpful to listen to other people's advices but you know yourself better so you are the one who can make the best decision. Being in a relationship with someone might work for one person and won't work for the other. This is also true in living a single life without any commitment. A relationship is a two-way street, it works only if both parties are doing their part. Being single is hassle-free but lonely at times. So, pray that you will be able to make the best choice where you will feel happy and contented.

I believe that everyone has their own preference regarding relationship status. There are those that enjoy being single and remain that way for life while others choose to share their life with one partner for the rest of their lives. There are also those that likes to live complicated lives. We cannot really tell how one should live it.

well i personally hate being single....that is not to say that i am desperate for a relationship...i used to be though. but now i am happily married so i dont have to worry about my relationship so much

I too believe it is all up to the individual. I know people who prefer to be single and yet sometimes they will find it is because they haven't yet found the right person. There are advantages in both situations, but I think one has to feel free to be themselves or they are better off single. A relationship that is too restrictive can suffocate a person and they can't reach their full potential. My advice to my daughters was feel comfortable with yourself first and enjoy your own company and you can then enjoy others. (They didn’t always listen) but they learned.

Everybody has their own opinion about this depending on how much freedom they like to have and etc. But for me, I'd rather be in a committed relationship. I'm in one now and knowing I have him forever always makes me feel so relieved about life. He's my number one person to talk to and I can tell him anything. We trust each other a lot and neither of us likes to go out and party. I'd much rather be in a relationship because it's nice knowing that your special someone is always there for you. Having someone to love and who loves you in return is one of the greatest feelings in the world and I wouldn't trade my boyfriend for anything.

Being single and being married, hmmmm, much rather be married. I am single right now and not liking it a whole lot. I was in a common-in-law relationship for 12 years and we broke up 2 years ago and I am not liking it. At first it was nice to be free and single, to do whatever I want. But after awhile I find that I don;t know what I want to do and I am bored and lonely most of the time. I moved to a different city when we broke up and I don't know anyone here but my daughter. I am self employed and I work cleaning houses and so I don't meet anyone new to be friend with. I can't be friends with my clients, I just don't want to mix business with pleasure because if you have a problem within the friendship it also affects my business. Most of my clients know each other and so if one gets mad at me I could loose more than just that one client. So it just isn't a smart idea. I don't know how to meet new people. I go out to the corner lounge and it's just all a bunch of drunks and loosers gambling. I go tot he community centre to swim and work out at the gym but it's all old people. I mean old people as in I am 54 years old and I am very young in comparison. I checked out two of the churches in my area and again, it's mostly old people. I don't have a problem with making friends with older people than me, they have good and interesting stories to tell, but they aren't people that I am going to meet a guy with. And I do want to have a relationship again because it just makes life more interesting and fun when you have someone in your life. If you are with the right person then it is the right thing. Being single and totally free to do what you want isn't all that it is made out to be. If you are in a good relationship you can still do what you want. If you are in a good relationship you wouldn't want to see someone else so that wouldn't be part of the freedom, if that is what you mean by do what you want. Good luck to you and I hope one day you will want to be married and/or in a relationship because it is also very rewarding. Good luck my friend and happy mylotting Chris

I think that it really depends on the individual, and their own preference. We're all different, after all. That's why I think that some prefer being single, while others prefer being in a committed relationship.

it depends on the kind of person that you are.although for me,i love to be in love. the thought of being in love and loved is so attractive to me. but before i move into the relationship,i make sure that i love the person and i could stand on that decision. but there were times that i make mistakes in choosing a partner, it is sad that i often end crying. i am happy now though that i already found someone who could be with me. so for me, i love being in a relationship.

I think you answered your own question in that it depends on what type of partner you have. It really is better to be single than to stay with a partner who takes more from you than he/she gives. If you are going to stay with someone, that person should love you, help you and make you feel good that they are in your life. Some people have relationships like that and they are so happy. Other people try to make it work with people they really should break away from. They the problem is being in relationship itself, but the problem is they are with someone they are not compatible with. Even though breakups can be painful, living in misery with the wrong partner is more painful. Then there are some people who really don't want the responsibility of committing to anyone. I think they are best happy as single people.

I think being in a relationship is better. I know it can be rough at times, but it is also healthier according to studies. And there are fringe benefits with being in a relationship. I have a lot of items and I would like to have someone to leave them with when I pass on.

Hi, Being being dingle gives you a feel of loneliness. At last there will be no one surrounding you. Find the best partner for you. He/she should be caring, responsible and should take life seriously. Else marriage will not be successful. It will give a feel that we are stuck under something. SO everything is in your hand.

I think that would depend on the person... Honestly, when I broke up with my ex, I though I would have a difficult time moving on since I'll always end up looking for a companion. The feeling of being "secured" an knowing that there's always someone who'll hold my hand will take some time to get used to but eventually, I was able to move on and right now, I'm single for a year and I'm still enjoying a single's lifestyle :D My suggestion is that you enjoy being single for a while and while you're at it, take some time in looking for a new lover/GF :D

i prefer for living single... right now im still enjoying being single... but still im very open to be commit in relationship someday

I think that everybody is going to view this situation differently. I have enjoyed living alone. This was a long time ago when my relationship broke up. I was a professional musician at the time and just continued with my work and liked the solitary space when I was at home. However, one day I met somebody. It wasn't planned but it just happened. So I have enjoyed both situations and gone with the flow. _Derek

I like living alone much better! I can do what I want and when, and don't have to worry about disturbing someone else. Everyone is different though. Some people don't ever want to be alone and a relationship is probably better for them. I just happen to be different.

I won't say which is better because both has their pros and cons. Whatever being single doesn't bring u, relationship has it all and vice versa. Some likes to be loved, while some prefers to love. Be in love and loving, need not has to be a person. It can be things, stuffs and whatever is priority in our life. Love has no boundaries, just the same as being single.

Be single for awhile than into comited relationship. Who dat say we must be like this like this. We can be this that there here anywhere anytime anyhow whatever. Still very sad about the breakup huh? Sorry to hear the transition of whatever.

Living in a single life is much better if you are young but as time you get older you need someone to lean on so I cannot tell exactly which is better because it depends upon the situation.

For me being married is the most beautiful experience, maybe because I was single for 7 years and dreaming of my having somebody to love. Now I am married and happy. I think is better to be married than to be single, because you have a person who support you, who take cae of you, with whom you can talk, and share you pain, you thoughts,a person who you can feel on the other side of the bed in order you won't feel alone. O f course there are cases where the partners are not what we have expected, they are selfish, they don't care about your feelings, get home late and you ask where was him/her they say "it is not your problem" (my own experience in the past of course :)). But what we have to do is to pray the Lord that give the right person to share our life. So I prefer to be married, and I stay feel free but with respect to my hubby.
