Being single involves freedom and fun, while being in a relationship seems more mature as it provides stability and the ability to start a family.
Being Single is Freedom but Relationships could be Fun! What to Choose?
Superb Opinion
Its so sad that young people nowadays see relationships / marriage merely as a fun ride. What people do not understand is that when you stay single forever, you lack a support system. If you don't understand what this means, it means that when you lose your job, or break your leg so you can no longer work. Nobody will help you pay your bills, take care of you, cook for you. Your parents will be long gone and dead.
You may say "I have my siblings to care for me". Reality is, once your siblings get married. Their wives and kids will be first priority. Don't be surprised if they claim they are too busy to rush over to help you. Their kids need to be picked up from school, dinner needs to be cooked, housework, their spouse may need help with something. You're not first priority to anyone. In other words, nobody cares about you. I've seen many folks who stayed single until older age who constantly tell me the struggles about not having a support system.
People divorce whenever they see any sign of an obstacle because they do not understand the value of marriage. Marriage is not supposed to be an amazing fun ride at an amusement park. It is an oath to take care of each other forever. We are brainwashed since childhood that marriage is supposed to be the perfect romance where fights are kept at the minimum. Any fight that lasts longer than a week means you are married to the wrong person. This is why our divorce rates are so high. Nobody understands this concept.

If your relationship doesn't allow you enough freedom for you to feel like you're able to be yourself, you have an abuser not a partner.
Relationships *should* be fun, they are optional (unless you get pregnant and have a kid with someone, then you and the other person ARE parents and must learn to get along cordially when around the child).
If you have a relationship that is consistently not fun, leave it. If you have a relationship that doesn't offer you sufficient freedom, communication, and trust, leave it.
Why are so many people - young women especially - so dead set on this idea that relationships and freedom or self-determination are a zero sum game?
Anonymous(36-45)Well there are benefits to both. But it seems as though at a younger age women want to be Ms. Independent, making that money, I don’t need a man attitude while focusing on their careers. But as they reach a certain point they feel as though they will never meet someone, like they’re behind the curve as far as marriage, children, etc. I’m not saying it’s impossible to find someone when you’re older, let’s say from 25 up, but those chances become slimmer as more you get women come on the market. You could focus on a career making a lot of money but that isn’t a quality most men look for in a partner like it is for a lot of women when it comes to men. For a man yes he’s getting older but there’s a good chance he can still let someone, have children, etc. A lot of women tend to like older men whereas the same is not really true for men liking older women especially if they’re looking to start a family. I’d say research it more. This is just what I’ve seen a lot especially online w women feeling bitter. There are some exceptions.

Well at least you'll do the right thing because you can actually see that and you will weigh them both out it all depends on who you are there are so many people that pick the marriage life and they regret it later on down the road because they never got to experience life with anybody else except for their spouse I mean there's just all kinds of pros and cons about the whole thing and this person is different each person is an individual and we all look at things different but I think whatever is the best fit for you is what you should do whatever makes you the happiest it really is a hard choice we all like that stability but it's the same time we like that freedom of exploring experiencing life you see that's where I'm at now and I'm old LOL

In the modern day relationships aren’t worth it don’t fall for the trap and propaganda people have been laying out in front of you. Relationships are not stable quite the opposite actually and for the most part are just an absolute waste of time. Sure you could find happiness with someone but you’re more likely to just wind up getting married and then getting a divorce later and then you’ll just be even sadder than you would’ve been if you had just stayed single. Don’t get me wrong you should totally have fun and if it just so happens that the right guy comes along you should definitely take the chance but no just looking for relationships otherwise you’re just going to find a bunch of desperate pricks.

You want "fun"?
That's why God made your arms long enough.Being single can be "freedom".. It isn't always fun though, or else most people wouldn't be seeking them.. Humans obviously don't care about absolute freedom.. Relationships may be less free, but they can also be much more fun and fulfilling if you get with a good person..

Personally, I don't choose to be in a relationship to be in a relationship.
I choose to be in a relationship when/if I meet someone I want to be in a relationship with (and they want to too).
So to me, it's not so much a choice, as more something that happens.
Right now I enjoy being single and intend to stay that way for a while.

Being in a passionate and healthy relationship is always better than being alone. The process of finding that, as we all know, can be traumatizing though. lol
605 opinions shared on Dating topic. Being in a relationship doesn't mean you can't have fun anymore and you don't have to marry each other and make babies in the first year either, some people doesn't want kids, but they want to be with someone and have fun together..
What kind of fun are even we talking about, that you can't have in a relationship with someone?

A woman needs a man in her life or you will end up like this. So pick a relationship.

I prefer relationship. Its noce having freedom, but at the end of the day most of us want to lay down and have intimate cuddle time. For you... i recommend possibility trying an open relationship to see how you like it. At the end of the day when it comes to relationships, its just a matter of setting boundaries for the relationship, regardless of what kind you are in.
1.7K opinions shared on Dating topic. If you can make a good pick, the relationship will win in the long run. Single life is easier but it will never beat a good family life extended over a lifetime. But the worst is a relationship with the wrong person.
If I didn't have freedom in a relationship, I wouldn't be in one. There's no type of freedom I'd have as a single person that I'd want to take advantage of... but it's better to be single than in a bad relationship with the wrong person.

There is nothing I can do single that I can't do in a relationship. I'll hands down choose a relationship over being single.
Not sure why anyone says you have to give up freedom, I'm still quite free in a relationship.
Be single until you don't feel like you need to sacrifice who you are in order to be in a relationship. If you still feel like you would have to sacrifice yourself to be in a relationship then you're just destined to be the rich single aunt🤷

I would definitely choose the single life. It’s just so much fun. There’s no expectations from anyone and I can do what I want.

Relationship...
I like being single but I'm getting older now.
I need to start growing up with someone I had a bad break up , so I feel being single is the choice coz my head sucks at trusting or falling for someone now.
Being single is lonely af. Being in a relationship comes with challenges.
