@saher090 it's a prison

@SW-User
Yes i always see marriage as a prison

@saher090 life sentence

Not at all.
There's nothing wrong with remaining single.
You would go through a long phase where some of your friends are preoccupied with raising families while others struggle with divorce and co-parenting - and eventually those become grandparents.
It can be easier to have friendships with others who are also single. They have more time.
There are pros and cons for both ways of life, and I think in the end they probably come out equal -
though that probably depends on what you value most.
I don't want to get married either. It's not for everyone.

I agree, it makes sense if you have kids, maybe, but I don’t see the point. Locking yourself into a situation with the threat of losing so much just to prove you are committed to someone seems like a way to outsource doing the hard work of keeping a relationship healthy. Not a lot of people are working on themselves, are self aware, or have healthy support systems that encourage marriage these days. Plus the divorce rate is super high, and mostly initiated by women according to the internet and statistics.

@PrestonJ i agree to every word you said

Do what’s right for you, who cares what others think.

Same thing about being single can be asked.

You're not wrong, marriage isn't for everyone.
SlaveEt · 36-40, F
Nope, not wrong. It is a big commitment and every commitment comes with strings that curb one's freedom. Choosing a compatible partner with similar life goals and lifestyle preferences does reduce that effect though.

Just don't marry. It's your prerogative. Just make sure you are very clear about that when going into a relationship.
DragonFruit · 61-69, M
There’s no right or wrong choice....you can marry if you want, or you can not marry if you want.
Then don't get married. Problem solved

@BeefySenpie i am afraid of being surprised in the future with something i didn't account for
@saher090 Such as what?
SW-User
There's nothing wrong with that. You know what you want.

I want to get married if not just for the experience but I would never let it take my freedom. I don’t want kids. Also I’d prefer to have my own bedroom where I can decide on the decor I like and him to.
Fluffybull · F
@SW-User We've got separate bedrooms, partly coz hub snores but also coz I like my own space and have weird sleep patterns. I had my own bedroom as a child so I think sharing one now would be claustrophobic.
SW-User
@Fluffybull My thoughts exactly.
Rolexeo · 26-30, M
Marriage should simply be a ceremony. If it's going to be a legally binding contract then divorce shouldn't be a thing.
UpForItNow · 22-25, F
No, it will. Use hookers and save a great deal of money, misery and constraining obligation.
Sssslm · F
It depends on whether you find a compatible person. If not, it s really better to stay single.
MrSmooTh · 31-35, M
You're not wrong. There is no incentive for a man to get married these days.
MrGomco · 36-40, M
You're not wrong, don't get married, you're not stupid 😉✌️

Marriage provides security for men according to statistics
Fluffybull · F
It's not compulsory and not for everyone.
Dumbman · 36-40
Don’t you like p*ssy?
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
What freedom do you imagine you have now that you wouldn't want to give up for marriage?
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@saher090 LIfe like money is best when given away to those you love.
Sssslm · F
@hippyjoe1955 it s difficult. would be possible only if you have a lot, or at least sufficient money to spend for yourself that you could afford to spare for others, considering the insecurity of life protection due to minimal welfare one can have these days. Also, it is not easy to find a compatible person that is worthy of your love.
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@Sssslm Money is a fluid thing. It is always sufficient but never enough.

You're entitled to your opinion.
saher090 · 31-35, M
@MURD3RM0NK3Y what do you mean
Human1000 · M
It definitely takes away autonomy.
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
It’s not wrong. You should do what you want.

Nothing wrong. I think marriage is outdated and not needed in today's society. No point in risking half of my stuff on someone who might change their mind in the future
