If you had to be unhappy
but you had a choice: To be unhappy and married or unhappy and single, what would you choose?
I'd choose unhappy as a single.
No wiggling out of this. It's not about how to be happy or how to avoid unhappiness. Just what would you prefer as an unhappy person? Hypothetically speaking.

single. If im in an unhappy marriage i dont even get my own space....or options.3

Unhappy and single. That way I’m not making someone else unhappy. Plus there’s so much more you can do when you’re unhappy and single compared to unhappy and married. Like if you’re unhappy and married, are you unhappy because of your partner or things that have to do with your life that would be different if you weren’t with your partner? That could all change if you were single. But unhappy and single you can find someone who makes you happy or do things that make you happy that maybe a spouse wouldn’t approve of.2

Single. I think there are more options for growth and change to move beyond the unhappiness when you're not yoked to another person who may not share your vision of the future.2

Unhappy and single? Isn't that an oxymoron? I meam if I am unhappy I know what and how to do to make me happy. If I'm married and unhappy, well I'd feel extremely guilty and dishonest if I'd do what makes me happy.
But if I had to choose, single and unhappy1 -
I have been married before I was missssssssssssserable

Or just have someone else dish it for us, but have one of those toilet seats that automatically spring back up so they know their stay isn't meant to be too far into the morning.2 -
I laugh... because I know many who say one thing, yet I know many with circumstances not of the norm...
Easy to say, unhappy and single.
However change the dynamics, to having special needs children and a parent doing the most for that child. A unhappy parent will stay, to get as much services for their child and to present in their child’s development.
Also, know about 3 moms who feel the SAME way.. and this isn’t hypothetically speaking. Dang there, my reality lol.6 -
Unhappy and single. I was unhappy and married and it is way worse to be lonely and be with someone than it is to be single and occasionally lonely.3

It depends on the reason for the unhappiness. Is this personal unhappiness or something else? If it's personal, then a good spouse can be an amazing help in getting through it. I'm very happily married but I still have personal problems, most of them relating to my poor health. My husband makes these feelings better, not worse.
On the other hand if the reason for a married person's unhappiness is the marriage itself, that's a different question. So the reason for the unhappiness is important.
Overall I'd much rather be unhappy and married. My spouse makes all the bad parts of life better, cause my unhappy issues have nothing to do with him or our relationship and everything to do with my crappy legs not working, lol.2 -
If your unhappy both ways...pick married! Then you can at least split the bills and you get tax breaks! Who knows? Maybe you’ll grow tolerate each other.
Unhappy and single is not fun...even if it is for the best.6 -
I know the title says unhappy
I am single and very happy (sorry to change the rules)
but I was still miserable in my marriage hence the divorce

Lmaooo! But being unhappy either married or single it's the same feeling I would think.
Married and unhappy = not getting any
Single and unhappy = you are doing something wrong

That's just a part of it. There would be more to it than that.
Single and unhappy is a state of mind if you're unhappy because you're not getting any is a simple fix but if unhappy for emotional reasons?? Good luck with that
Of course buddy!0 -

You can still do the THANG but at the end you can't be like " I'll call you an uber" so disappointed afterwards anyways if you're married 😂1 -
