Being Single Or Being Married? by bbeautylik(f): 8:42pm On Mar 16, 2017
Being married or being single, which do you prefer?

When I was single, I so much preferred it, especially when i hear stories that touches the heart.

Being single...
I could ask dad for money
My income was all to myself
I was practically full of myself

Being Married....
The best part was having my kids aside that, I don't know what i like o about marriage.

My own marriage is normal but not perfect

I'm not saying it is scary
All I am saying here is the life between the married and the single.

Well as for me spending about 2 weeks with my family after a year in marriage was like I was just released from prison

Chai!, Ma'am why are you scaring us?. grin
I think it's because your marriage isn't as fun as you anticipated. I wouldn't want to spend a week in my family house and feel the way you're feeling.

Are you divorced? A year in marriage and 2weeks away you feel relieved? Was your husband a jerk? I am beginning to think marriage is a burden. Am I correct?

Being married. . I'm happier & more fulfilled. .. if you know how it feels waking up next to your best friend daily, then you shouldn't be asking this....

For me, the only advantage of being single is more freedom and lesser responsibilities. ... but you can balance these in marriage shaa. ..

The grass is always greener on the other side.
Most women are in same shoes as yours, as not everyone gets to marry the man of their 'dreams'

Just get on with it, when life hands you lemons, make lemonade out of it.

You're in a boring marriage? Too much financial responsibilities? Well, well well, welcome to the grown up world.

Find something you enjoy doing, and develop it. Set "mundane" goals like losing weight, getting a six pack and you'll be surprised at how happy you get when you reach your target. Of course, equally set more serious goals career wise, family life wise....

Its part of life, na so life be.

I would rather be single than stay married to a bad man or the wrong guy.
If that's the case? Lemme jejely remain single. I can't shout.

But with the right man? Oh yes! I would love to get married and be with him forever.

Also don't marry the guy who is so hot in looks . cause most times. Such guys are so Into themselves and have nothing to offer except looks and mind blowing sex .
Marry your best friend and u will be happy with life . I tell ya.

Men of their dreams do not exist anywhere. They exist only on the TV set.

@OP,

That's what you get when you spend your youthful days watching Channel E!, Soap Operas, Instagram and other TV dramas.

You watch Kanye West and Kim having fun and getting paid per hour for acting and entertaining you on TV, yet you married a banker and expect him to take you all over the world and do all the acting for you...


..with customers' monies of course.


You stumbled on Instagram pictures where couples smiled for the Camera, and you assume that's how couples live 24/7 on a daily basis. If they do no go out to work, get busy and avoid each other, how would they raise money to pay a cameraman to entertain you and make you gullible in the first place?

The man you were crushing on on the TV set thinking that's how men give their wives fun and attention, ignored his wife at home to act for you, deceive you and make you gullible. He left his wife at home to act with another woman, so don't be f00led.

If you do not have an interesting single life forget about having an interesting marriage life.


The reason behind getting married goes a long way to determine how the marriage will go.


For me, I'm enjoying my single life with all its hurdles and challenges and I anticipate my marriage which I don't expect to be flawless but perfect for me.

Sometimes I wonder what people really want. The OP is being sincere by saying how she feels yet here you are saying she is scaring you.

It amazes me how someone you haven't even seen before can have such an impact in your life while you have so many examples of married people in real life that you can look up to or decide not to look up to

OP, I admire your sincerity, most times people lie about what they are going through. Maybe you can find fun ways to spice up your marriage

As for me, I enjoy single life because of the flexibility it offers e.g. I use my time how I want. That said, I love kids and pets too and if I can find a way to have both in my world, I would cheesy

Thank you, I don't know why ladies nowadays can't get out of the fantasy world and start living in the reality. They think the responsibility of keeping the flame of love burning is solely men's.

Please, don't quote me out of context. I never said she isn't being sincere, did I?. What we read on here has both negative and positive influence on us whether you accept it or not.

Yes, but you were making her uncomfortable by your statement. If you want to read about perfect marriages, you can buy fiction novels, they tell the best fairy tale romantic stories, take care.

Re: Being Single Or Being Married? by PRISTINEMUSCLES: 8:53pm On Mar 20, 2017
Whatever divide you are on, be it singlehood or marriagehood? Enjoy and bask in it. The grass is never truly greener on the other side. It is best you water your own grass so that they become luscious green.
I laugh when i hear single folks say they would truly experience happiness when they get married. Dat is a big fat lie from the abyss of obesity.
If you are a sad,lonely, depressed and pessimitic individual when single, you will most definitely remain so when married. Nothing changes.



No Pain
No Gain.

if you feel this way then your marriage is not normal o.

Better seek the help of a marriage counsellor before everything gives way at the seams.

We all aren't destined to get married anyway.

Truth is, if you get married, you are going to marry your Karma.

Whether best friend or otherwise, the person you'll marry, good or bad, is the person you deserve, and who deserves you...
