Merry100: Loneliness awaits you at the end of your up and down. Go and ask the elders who took the issue of companionship for granted. Imagine yourself at 50 years old living in a flat and always welcomed by empty rooms! Your depression is still doing press-up. |

maasoap:I asked the elders who rushed into marriage without proper planning about their experiences. Some said they were lucky enough (they emphasized the word "lucky) to marry a responsible man, but others had bitter tales to tell. Some said they are just enduring a toxic marriage, some said they are living a frustrated life, some are divorced and some didn't even live to tell the tales. Everything in life is a risk, but it is better to take calculated risks. There are other ways to have kids o. 2 Likes |

maasoap:Loneliness is a mental illness that even those married and surrounded by a big family are prone to experiencing. No matter how many people you surround yourself with, you can still remain lonely. So the solutionisn't external -- getting married or having kids -- but of internal resolve. |

Kobojunkie:Is this the product of your own thinking or what? I think you are mistaking depression in this case for loneliness, you need to understand these two different words and where and how to use them. Depression is more internal trouble while loneliness is more of external problem. "Alone" = "loneliness". |
Re: Benefits Of Being Single by Kobojunkie: 5:10pm On Sep 24, 2023 |
maasoap:Loneliness is a major symptom of depression, yes! To be alone is not the same as suffering loneliness. Loneliness is a mental problem that needs resolving. Aloneness is simply just that, aloneness. There are people who enjoy their time alone and prefer it too. There is no problem attached to that at all. But when you are lonely, it means you are struggling with a problem that needs resolving. |

THERE'S NOTHING SWEETER THAN BEING SINGLE AND HAVING GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD. CHASTITY AND HOLINESS |

I'm not condemning 'singlehood' but everything in life has its merits and demerits. I receive proposal for more businesses lately. This means more money of course, about 3 times what I earn now. In this present economy, many people wouldn't hesitate to latch unto such opportunity but you won't believe I'm dilly-dallying with the offer, why? Marriage. My oga doesn't want me to go all out, he wants attention, "the house needs me" that's his opinion. He's not far from the truth though. Mind you, I don't regret being married one bit. My husband has been good and true to the promises he made years back. Somehow, we have built mutual trust, love and companionship that one could hardly survive without the other. To the singles, if your marriage is healthy, you will understand what I'm saying in due course. There are times I'm sick in my body and I just need my husband's touch to feel better. I just ask him to touch the problem area, maybe my head or stomach or back. I don't know what's in the touch, but it's soothing. After a while, I sleep off, relieved! Don't let all the negative stories here and there bamboozle you into shunning marriage. Just marry rightly and you will be fine. 3 Likes |

Versal: What are u saying π₯΄ |
Re: Benefits Of Being Single by Kobojunkie: 9:57pm On Sep 24, 2023 |
placeofallure:1. Do you receive these so-called proposals BECAUSE you are married or simply because you have a service that these people require? Mutual love means you give up a lot of proposals for the sake of marriage. Or that you content yourself with these so-called promises that he made you and has supposedly kept? 2. Or you could simply take a pill and the pain and aches are all gone... no more. I don't believe it is wise to tell people to sign on for the burden that is marriage in order that they can have a hand to touch them when they are ill in order for the pain to magically go away as you described. There are many in marriages right now who are sick and no amount of touching can help their condition because they are weighed down by so many burdens no thanks to the union. |
