Is It Better to be Single or Married

[curling]

After talking to some of my single friends on how they have such bad experiences with dating I think marriage is better. You have someone to help you as a partner in life someone that will take care of you when you are sick and someone to grow old with.

The only advantage of being single seems like is to get some strange which could also give you some funky disease so I say being married is better than single what do ya'll say?

The grass is always greener on the other side. I haven't been married or anything, but whenever I have a girlfriend, it seems like being single is better...but then when you lose the girlfriend, you wish you had her back...that's going on with me right now, kinda.

I think the key is change...when you first meet that girl, it's the best thing...but you just can't let things get monotonous.

I don't know bulldog I am married and the grass doesn't look greener after seeing all the crap my single friends go through.

Natureboy was that sort of a doublesided compliment or what ?

How long have you been married?

It wasn't a compliment, nor was it an insult. It was an observation. You DO ask a lot of questions. So does DUSTY. That's all I'm saying.

Well is actually more a polling question without the poll. So I guess what you are saying is that we both ask questions but mine are more interesting or what?

Bulldog,

Good for you bro! I guess once I get married I'll change my tune, but I'm only 21...so right now playing the field seems like the best idea.

 

[HANSEL]

It really depends on who you marry and how controlling they are.

Appreciate that. Are you looking for the right one or just dating?

 

[Lumberg]

I'm single and I wish I was married.

As long as the person you are married to changes and grows along with you, a lifelong partnership works.

Problems I see are with couples that grow apart as they mature
or one matures and the other does not causing problems..

As for the poll Dusty jr, I say in todays whacked out world its better to either be celebate or Married with someone not bringing crabs (or worse) home with them..

Not really sure at this point...I had a great girl for a while, but that just kinda ended recently...my fault cuz i wasn't sure whether i wanted a serious relationship or to just fuck around. Shitty situation.

 

[Lumberg]

Yea 21 is a very unsure age. Even though I got married at 20 I probably should of waited a while. Live and learn still glad I did it. She is my soulmate(even though some people don't believe they exist.)

Hey, if you've been together for 18 years, and you don't regret shit...you made the right choice.

 

[curling]

Lumberg your link don't work.

Bulldog yea you are right she is a good chick except when she gets her hands on my credit cards. Then she sux.

 

[Lumberg]

Here's one

gf's are no fun when you're out and there are a ton of hotties around

Yeah, but they're really fun on a rainy shitty day...and it's good just to have someone (I know, I sound like a fag).

I could remain single for a long time to come & perhaps get married in my 40's just to have someone to grow old with.

The problem is that all my friends are getting married, and a lot of them young. So it sucks not having as many friends to hang out with now.

Oh and btw, I always have to hear them complain about their marriages. I think to myself "Well, you're the dumbass that got married so young!"

 

[Baoh]

I like being with someone when the girl's a good person, but if she does not mesh well with me, I'd rather save my resources and be alone until someone who can properly match me comes along, if ever.

Yeah, those are the people that get married after they've been with a girl (or guy) for like a year or two...most of those don't make it. Seems like Curling is an exception...but for the most part...if you get married too quickly, it won't last.

Age doesn't seem to be the determining factor in how long a marriage lasts, it's how old the relationship is.

 

[Baoh]

It's not so much the timing, but the degree of communication and the reasons for getting married. Getting married just for the sake of being married is a mistake.

 

[biteme]

It depends on the person. It's better for some people to be single and others to be married. If the marriage is mostly an unhappy one, I would think better to be single. Since currently 60% of marriages end in divorce(statistic out of Psych text book), and probably many more stay married that are unhappy, it would seem that being single is better for the majority. It definitely has it's drawbacks though, speaking for myself. I'm damned either way.

If more people would admit this, there would be less failed marriages. Some people just get married for the wrong reasons.

I'm married 18 yrs. too and can't imagine ever having lived my life any other way. I hear my single friends complain more about their relationships than my married friends though. Either they don't like this or that about the person, or they're complaining they don't have anyone.
