My Married Friends Are Advising Me Not To Get Married by charlesisu: 10:55pm On Feb 02, 2010
All My Married Male friends seems to be giving me the same advise, that i should not get married, marriage is a bondage bla bla bla both the ones at home and abroad seem to be saying the same thing, its better to stay single and just enjoy it while it lasts even if it will take forever.
I am more than confused than ever, are there really happy marriages these days ?

If their marrriage is that miserable why are they still married?
You are not a robot. You should be able to filter helpful from unreasonable advice.
Unless it is you who enjoys being a bachelor and choses to selectively listen to advice so you can justify your way of life.

Their marriages are all not what they expected, could this be a coincidence, they are all not happy in their marriages.

why are you confused did the lady in your life force you to be with her? you have to take control of your own life and not depend on the advice of those who have tried and failed. If you think you are ready assuming your lady/man is ready you jump the broom and live your own life.
yes marriage might seem like bondage because you have to devot your life to your partner but what is wrong with that? nothing i tell ya

Let me set this record straight,

These guys are wonderful People. they are friends ive known for quite some time and even the most gentle of them says the same thing.

His wife is stubborn and his mother in law intrudes in their affairs, he is tired of the marriage. we chatted for about 3 hours today and he strongly advised me to be extremely careful before i tie the knots with any woman, its not all rosy and women can be pains in the arse after marriage

You dont expect marriage to be a bed of roses do you. Same as other aspects of life.
I am sure your friends also have their flaws. THERE IS NO PERFECT PARTNER.
Marriage is about tolerating each other and accepting the other for who they are.
The fact that these challenges in marriage exist does not mean we should all be celibate.
Even if you wait for 20 years, unless God directs you to that person, my friend, it will be a wild goose chase.

Your friends are probably unhappy in their marriages because of their negative attitudes.

@poster Marriage can neva be a smooth -easy-ride;being single is also a hell-of-a-ride. In short my friend,life is a doom-oh-ride. Enjoy!

Don't let anyone fool ya, it goes both ways!

When falling in love, too many people get blinded and don’t really get to know their mate.

Have you considered that maybe the problem is you, not marriage per se.

if you think you're commitment phobic, that says a lot about your state of mind right now, so maybe its best if you take some time off to sort yourself out and figure out just what it is you want.
Re: My Married Friends Are Advising Me Not To Get Married by ladygaga(f): 1:08am On Feb 03, 2010

My Married friends are not helping the matter, they all want to opt out of their marriages, if theres a easy way out.

if u all have the same character then u probably should stay single and not bring sadness to whoever u marry.
