What's your stand on being single vs being in a relationship/married?
Today I told my grandma that one of my brothers is getting married soon (well, not really that soon but more likely 2 years from now). She snorted and told me it's not going to happen since he's not financially stable yet. But I told her that's his plan all along, be married at the age of 28. And then she asked me, what about me. I answered I don't have any plan on getting married or be in a relationship ever. Then she goes on and on about having a family is better. So what about you guys? What's your opinion about it?
P.S. It's true though, if there's one thing I don't want in this lifetime or my next lifetime (if ever it exists), it is that I don't want to get married or be in a relationship. I never thought of that not even once. Some of my friends had a bf/gf when I was still a student, but I never once felt that same longing. If there's something I want to do, it is to get a dog or dogs. Although having your own family seems great, it's just not for me, not interested, and will most likely make me miserable because it's something I don't want to do.
I'm twenty years into our relationship. We are together for love, friendship and companionship. I have a physical disability which encompasses several interrelated conditions, and my husband has some mental and emotional health issues which makes life very interesting! We didn't get married to 'get married ' and have kids. Neither of us would b...... 1 reply
I say do what makes you happy. If you don't wanna be in a relationship/marriage, that's perfectly fine. Not everyone follows the same route in life. We go through our own experiences of life and time. reply
My sister is 7 years younger than me and is married since 2 years. People and family were
asking me, when I will get married. And things like "At your age, I had already my first
child". It was annoying.
But lately, the questions decreased. My mother is just joking every time I´m going out, I
should search for a son-in-law for her.
I also nev...... reply
I don't have a good opinion of the marriage, thank you, next. I'll be single all my life, I'm asexual! I don't want any kind of relationship and I'm fine with myself. 1 reply
Don't feel bad about not wanting to get married or set up a family. It's actually the brave way to go, recognizing that this thing we're told from birth we should want is not for us.
When I was 8 years old I knew a couple of things about love.
1. I didn't want to get married.
2. I had 'boyfriends' every year but the only kid that made me shy an...... reply
Consider most old married couples I know are just tolerating each others... No I don't think I'll ever be in relationship in the future. The first and last time I had a gf was like 5 years ago and for sure I am not looking for another one. I know it's be lonely but so what? People look for partners just because they want to have someone to talk to,...... 2 reply
I think I would definitely want to get married someday, and I'll stay single until I find the right guy. It doesn't always have to work out, everyone isn't perfect, and unless you're willing to make sacrifices you'll never be happy, but after all that, at the end of the day, I think it's definitely a nice feeling to be able to come back home to you...... 1 reply
To be honest, I've experienced the same thing. I know I am still a bit far from proper age for marriage but people have started asking about boyfriends (even though I've been dropping hints about my questioning ass) and whenever I tell my friends or family that I would prefer to have pets over children and possibly not marry anyone they would lect...... 1 reply
It's your choice, no one can really force u to marry someone and make babies lol, but its your life and you should live it the way you want to bring you happiness reply
There's no right or wrong answer. It depends on the person. More often than not, people get married, and there's nothing wrong with that (despite what some groups try to claim). I think it's great that you can find someone to love and be loved by.
At the same time, there are those who chose to remain single indefinitely, and there's nothing wrong ...... reply
