Grass is greener on the other side?
My friends who are in relationships are happier now that when they were alone.
There are a few who are single who are happy like that.
Everyone is different.
Are you happy as single or married?
I am asking because my next question to you would be why?
I’m in a relationship, we are about to register a civil partnership as we’re buying a house soon and plan to have children together in the future.
From a purely practical perspective, at some point you want your relationship to be official to simplify matters such as inheritance, child recognition, etc.
You know a bunch of unhappy people? Or a bunch of people who heard a bunch of “I hate my spouse” jokes and decided it was funny and not a cautionary tale.
I am a married man and love every second of it. If there is anyone who should be talking about how there is no benefit to marriage is married women. Statistically married straight women have more household tasks and are unhappier compared to their single cohort. While for married men its the opposite with them having fewer household tasks and happier than single men. So if anyone should be complaining and saying that marriage isn’t worth it are straight women
They say they wish they were single? Or that they wouldn’t get married again? I love my husband and an so happy to be spending my life with him, but if i lost him i would not remarry. I’m not interested in starting over with someone else. I’d be fine with a Saturday night date and maybe one weeknight dinner.
Overall, men benefit from marriage. But you can definitely find unhappy people, or people who will vocalize their unhappiness, even while reaping the benefits. And then there are shitty marriages of course. I encourage you to do a quick google, there is a lot of research on this topic.
Highly depends on whenever you found your correct person or not.
because men have more to lose than they do to gain out of a marriage, economically at least.
men are still expected to bear the majority of the finances of a relationship, and most countries/states still award alimony to women, but not men. thus even in the relationship ends, he is still expected to support her financially.
it just doesn’t make sense to enter into a contract where almost all of the liability/risk is on you.
personally i can say that my life has vastly improved being single, than it ever was in a relationship. because my time and money is invested in myself and reaps returns… the time and money i invested in relationships got me nothing and often was a black hole.
