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 was pressured in a young age to never be in a relationship until I graduated college, have a stable job and have money on my own. Now that I am 20, graduated college and work at a cafe, I keep on thinking about my parents and my sibling.
My parents loved me very much and would do everything for us, my sister is still on Highschool. I think being...... reply
I'm okay being alone, but I would prefer being with someone I love and who love me too. To have someone who's there for you seems very nice. Someone who will give the time you need. I really like being surrounded by people so I think I would like to have children. I don't care about getting married though, I mean it doesn't change the fact that my ...... reply
Do what makes you the happiest. When I was younger and still thought I was heterosexual, I had zero interest in family and children, and I wasn't interested in getting married or even dating. I was lonely though, so I dated a few people anyway, and eventually I found out I was just really gay and that's why I couldn't see myself with a man with 2.5...... reply
Its really depends on the people and circirumstances. What matters most is a balance of being okay and happy with yourself alone and having positive human connections and interactions. reply
I mean I'm asexual, panromantic, and I'm not really planning on getting married the only reason I see the point in having kids is to give them a really stupid name they can't change until their 18 I personally think carrying on the human race is the worst mistake anyone can make. btw you might be on the aromantic spectrum but I'm not saying that y...... reply
Everyone is different. When I was younger I would sneer at the mere thought of relationships, kids and marriage, but as I became older I grew more and more fond of the idea of marrying and having a family. Mainly because I found someone I really really like and have been dating for almost 6 years now. Relationships are so much more than just love a...... reply
I prefer being single , marriage is definitely not for me cuz honestly im super satisfied with my single life and i don't feel loneliness being single.. In fact i get to do fun things that most married couples don't get to do like for example: traveling to other countries at their own expense whenever they feel like it but cant because they are tie...... reply
I, like others here, also think that you should do what you feel is best. A family for some looks different for others too. Some people are extremely fulfilled with good friends, pets, interests that don't involve other people and having a "family" in the standard sense (married, kids) would be a total nightmare. I never planned on getting married...... reply
hey, since, well, my grandma told the same thing, to get married and all
and I was like, oookaaay but first I want to sail into the world by myself and make myself happy because of ME.
I think, happiness is something should not depend on someone else, it's on US. We make US happy, and people have their own preference.
a lot of my friends wants to g...... reply
I think it really depends on the person than on a relationship status. There are people who are always looking to be in a relationship and don't enjoy the single status too much, and there are people who're in a marriage/relationship and are loving it as well or have become very comfortable in it. And then there are people who prefer to be single ...... 2 reply
