Marriage vs. Singledom

PrincessLaundry

Ya, I wouldn't have married that man either!!! EEEK!!!!

Not all men are obnoxious! My husband is great at the snuggles, he isn't a pig, he cooks great (worked in a meat department when we were in school), we have the same friends, and serve??? We serve each other evenly...Hokay, he spoils me! He listens to my crazy talk, he is a great Dad, a fantabulous military guy. He's a goof sometimes, but perfect for me!

My husband was diagnosed with cancer the day my daughter was born. I almost lost him 6 years ago. What a wake up call. We have had tough years, but we have worked through the sick days and here we are! He makes coffee for me in the AM and even rubs my feet to wake me up! Anyway...

Not all men are a mess.

One of a kind!!! LOL This entire thread has had me glued all day. I can't wait to tell my man he's great when he gets home! Yey ya'lls for it! I think being married or not, being happy is the most important thing!
:noway:

ummmm, can I clone your husband?!?!? I want one! :laugh:

I love being married and am so glad to not ever have to be in the whole dating scene again. We both have our own hobbies and this year we have taken up one together, cycling. It is nice to be able to do that together.

MARRIAGE!

nichols

After being faithfully married for thirteen years and now divorced and single. I would choose being married any day even with the bad times. Not being one too sleep around (any more) every one has there past. i find being single very lonely and depressing. There is nothing like having some one there when u come home to share your life with. Although i would get married again, I can agree with the living together, but not getting married though. I have found that marriage and relationships are in your heart and not on a peice of paper. To much now adays many take vowels as mere words that are spoken at that time and not a life long committment. They say the words through good times and bad for richer and poorer in sickness and health till death do us part, but many bail out when times are tough. I guess although im still relatively young, i am very old school in that aspect that i do beleive they are not mere words but a promise made, and i will do anything in my power to never break a promise to anyone. my word is my bound. god bless all of u.

cleaning up after them, cooking for them, putting up with their annoying friends and basically being their servant,

Are you planning to get married in 1952? Women don't do this anymore. Things are much more balanced. Okay, they put up with our annoying friends.

Married by the way. I like having someone there to talk to at the end of the day who cares about my dreams.

By the way, you look freaking hot in your AV!

I like Tam's new Jackie O. picture.

Well, I'm not married yet, but I've been with my bf for about 3 years, and we've lived together for most of it. I did have my crazy party time my Freshmen year of college, but that just resulted in gaining weight and making 'friends' I don't associate with anymore. I do like the single life in terms of getting to know people and getting to be flirty (who doesn't like to be flirted with?), but I like being in a monogamous relationship because it's stable and nice to have someone to share feelings with. Sometimes I get nervous about marriage...I mean, I only want to do it once, what if I mess up? What if it's not any fun? What if everything fizzles out and I end up just living with this man who is like a roommate? What if I decide I don't want kids? So in that respect, it sounds like fewer worries if you're single.

I am divorced but I still have to say marriage is better than being single...

Oh lovey, you're such an amazing person and you will find someone so special for you! I promise. No way is a guy like you not going to find someone amazing! Just wait til she comes and knocks you on your butt!

hmmmmmm im single with 3 kids and i wouldnt like it any other way!!! I date... but at the end of the day i dont have anyone to answer to... I am happy and content!!!!

I don't have to answer to my hubby and he doesn't answer to me. I think maybe that is the key to what makes us work?? Yes, we talk things over but --- I guess that could be considered answering to someone. However, I do like that when I go running I have someone who knows where I went and how long I should be and can search for me if I go missing... :ohwell: :laugh: (not that I have gone missing for long.. once at the pub but that was totally unavoidable.. free guinness.. please!!)

I know cliche but it's the little things that matter to me. Cup of coffee together, lap to lay my head in when I get a headache, someone to run their fingers through my hair, and someone who loves me whether I am cranky, sick, mean, happy, jealous.. any of a thousand little nit-noid things that make me, me.

Ahh well. I am blessed to have my hubby and I enjoy each moment.
