Is it better to stay single than marry someone you don’t truly love?

[MissSunshine2]

I never judge others on their life choices, as everyone has a different life path and opinion. I thought it might be wiser not to get married and have kids when I was younger, because I couldn't find any man that I truly loved, who was taller than me, intelligent, funny and kind. Even with the guys I really liked, it wasn't quite right, so I never married when I was younger. Everyone in my family has kids and/or a partner except me. I'm scared of being alone for the rest of my life, but I'm more scared of getting married just out of fear of being alone. Marrying the wrong person.

ABSOLUTELY!

I have never been so certain of anything in my life as this.

[Iron_Man]

if you don’t love somebody don’t get married. It won’t last

[abc3643]

It seems to be working for Melania...

[Iron_Man]

@abc3643 I don’t think it was that case in the beginning

[abc3643]

She's not stupid and he's 24 years older than her. Steve Miller had a song for this... "Go on, take the money and run."

[Iron_Man]

@abc3643 she got a book out of it and made a movie when Donald Trump retires. We’ll see if she hangs around

My aim on GAG is to stop people from settling for discount love when they deserve the premium package 😏

You did the smart thing. Being single is 1000x better than marrying out of fear and ending up lonely next to the wrong person. That’s slow-burn heartbreak.

Stay open, not desperate. Love without real connection is a walking red flag. You’re not “behind,” you’re just refusing to fake it. That’s actually very attractive.

I'm 31. Here's the thing. Every man you meet has downside. It depends if you can accept it or not. You'll have to accept the one you'll marry or have relationship through thick or thin. It's fine being scared, it means you're being careful. What i can advice is to meet more men and choose the best option you like among them. If you will not meet anyone, how will you know he is the best person for you

Another thing, it's not marrying the person. It depends on you, wether you are the right person for that person and depends on how you handle things. That keeps marriage long lasting and healthy.

There are healthy traits of men, if you feel you meet the right person, you know it will be worth it. Trust me.

It's okay if everyone around you are married and have kids. Where you are right now is the best where you should be. I met people at 39 they found the love of their life.

My aunt married at her 40s and still got kids. Dont be pressured. At the same time, don't stop exploring as far as you meet the one for you.

After all, love life keeps you happy and have memories to share with that matters.

I also meet a lot of frogs, really lots of frogs, but now i think i found the one for me. He's a decent guy and has values and respect me.

You can find that too. Just believe in yourself.

Don't stop searching alright. It's not too late for you.

Dont marry at all if you dont love the person you are marrying because you're going to spend the rest of your life with him

[Nikki1989]

I had no interest in being with a man, let alone marriage, but meeting my husband changed all of that. I certainly would never marry without being in love first.

[MikkiM]

Loving that person means staying with him for the rest of your life. So your feeling matters

[Anonymous]

I don't have any desire or energy to pursue someone I don't have romantic interest in.

[MissSunshine2]

Me neither. I don't expect huge sparks or chemistry, but I expect SOMETHING.

[sage2021]

Don't EVER marry someone who you don't love!! Not for any reason!! Okay?

[LiamS95]

Why ever would you marry someone you don't love?

[abc3643]

Ask Melania Trump that.

[NathanDavis]

I wouldn't even consider something with someone I don't have feelings for

[Anonymous]

[Opinion Owner]

[Anonymous]

[Anonymous]

[MissSunshine2]

No, I’m a bored person on a question and answers site…surprisingly enough, asking a question!

Accountability truly a woman's kryptonite

[MissSunshine2]

People are too eager to put labels on other people when they’re not qualified to do so. I don’t get that. It seems stupid to me.

[MikkiM]

Ignore him miss sunshine, he's too afraid to show himself that's why he's anonymous

Again my second statement and my first still hold validity. And the second statement is especially true for you both
