Is there anyone that does not want to get married?

Is there anyone that does not want to get married? If so what is your reason?

[waveseer]

I don't know if I want to get married but I do know I don't ever want to get divorced (again).

[littlestar]

I dont mind either way whether i do or do not get married...

[SapphireNoir10]

Im not bothered. I like the idea of it.

 

But I dont want a big wedding. Hate being centre of attention and public speaking,

[veneratio]

I'm indifferent about it. If I get married, cool. If I don't that's fine too.

[MyheartorHis]

I do not, because I truly believe that the only person I could ever want to spend the rest of my life with is my soulmate in heaven. That's why marriage doesn't seem realistic to me.

[greywolf]

I never really wanted to get married until my ex and I got together, and maybe that was the 'wanting what you can't have' thing. heheh

[Jetta]

Well I always wanted to get married, and well marriage has sucked royally. I'm told never to marry again, just have boyfriends, but that's not my style. I'll leap again eventually.

[tigger12]

I can see myself getting married if I think it's the right person and circumstances, but being married and having children sort of scares me. I'm worried about failing as a parent like I see one of my parents as failing me. I don't want to put my children through a bad marriage or worse as I've seen so many of my peers experience.

[Isha]

No, I would not get married. I wouldn't participate in an institution that is denied to the gay and lesbian community in my country. I expect same-sex couples to have exactly the same rights as I do in my hetero relationship. Until then, marriage is not something I would consider.

[hiphop3]

in a way i do, i think it would be awesome to spend the rest of my life with my best friend.

on the other hand, marriage doesn't seem that realistic to me, having chemistry with some one for the rest of your life. it doesn't sound natural.

and then i look at my parents marriage. things were so happy and normal..and then all of a sudden..

life is just to unpredictable. some times i'd rather not take that chance and get married. i'd rather just live with some one for forever and not have papers involved. i don't know..

[redhearts]

I don't believe in divorce.

[TenthMouse]

I'm very much against marriage. It's so...unimportant. If you truly love a person, you don't need a huge wedding or some fancy party or even a piece of paper stating that you're going to be together forever. Love is love.

[babii doll]

i like the idea of marriage, sometimes i think about it, but one place i dont want to end up in is divorce court after seeing so many of my family and friends go through that process only to be left broken after, so needless to say i have a bit of a phobia when it comes to that.

[babii doll]

I don't believe in divorce.

 

i dont either, but the majority of this country does from the looks of the divorce rate, i only think it should be done under special circumstances.. i.e. abuse, infidelity, fraud

[thejigsup]

I would never say never, but I was shocked at the reality of marriage being so bad. I will probably never do it again. I have been with my wonderful bf for over 9 years and still don't want to get married again. It was THAT BAD!

[Landon7]

i dont think i am marriage material. i like to be free and come and go as i please. i dont really believe in marriage anymore because its so flaky now a days. i guess that plays a part in my decision. i am not against having kids one day but i dont see my self doing the traditional wedding, etc.

[Blue Spiral]

I don't believe in marriage, and I don't think my personality type would be the right for it, anyway.

[hiphop3]

i dont think i am marriage material. i like to be free and come and go as i please.

 

i see myself this way as well, plus i am not very maternal.

[allypally]

I think if two people respect and stand by the vows they make to eachother then as an 'institution' it would work.

 

Unfortunately and sadly, it gets abused and it seems to get forgotten that you have committed yourself to that person for the rest of your life.

 

People know how easy it is to get a divorce these days and it is rare to come accross people who have been together for >30 yrs.

 

Personally, I could not and would not enter into it unless I knew the relationship I had, could go the distance. After a recent bad experience I broke off my engagement.

[midnightrambler]

I'm indifferent about it. If I get married, cool. If I don't that's fine too.

 

that is about right

[John Bendix]

When I was married (21 years), I did not view as a "thing" that I was tied into. It seems it was just a legal apparatus in which to raise my family. It was the relationship that mattered. I view it now as another intimate relationship with someone that did not last. I did not mind being married at all.

 

I also see most modern divorces as an attempt of some to rid themselves of unhappiness (whatever that really means to some) perceived to be caused by their spouse.

 

I do not want to be married. I do not see any point on going through the divorce procedure again. If there is a chance of that happening, I would avoid it.

[bulletproof]

I don't want to be married, but I would like to live with someone and share my life. I have never fantasized about a wedding, and I find the whole industry to be really distasteful and a huge waste of resources.

 

Ideally, we would take our money and go on a 'honeymoon' somewhere great. I'm not religious, and I don't need to scream to the world that I'm in love.

[annalisa84]

Well, I definitely want to get married

 

In your everyday life how many times to you actually stop and show to your SO and to your family and friends that there is love in your life and you wish to share it with everybody?

 

Why would you deny yourself one special day more?

[ImThatGirl]

Depends on the day.

 

Most times, I love my independence and have no desire to ever get married.

 

Sometimes, I'll think about it and it'll seem like great fun - falling in love, getting married, etc.... But yeah - I just don't think I'll let that happen. Least not in the next couple years!
