Do you prefer being single or in a Relationship?

I am a married man, I have kids. However, when I was single, I always though I would remain single all my life, never marry, and never have kids. That's why I was never in a serious relationship and never in a committed relationships. Everything changed when I met someone.
 
Single. Don't want or need a relationship. Too much of a loner and not a people person. I waited too long for my freedom to give it up.

Being in a relationship doesn't take away any freedom. I think you're imagining a controlling relationship, not a normal one.

I used to think that too.
 
Still don't want a relationship though, Neb.

I prefer being in a relationship.. and in the right one, you pretty much have all of the freedoms of being single anyway.. if the relationship is right, you won't want to sleep around, and a lot of the stuff you "must" do in a relationship, are simply those that you want to do because you want to include them, and sharing in the experience together is more rewarding than if you were to do it alone.

At least, that has been my experience.

That said, it is also possible to be in a relationship and then feel lonlier in it than you did when single. That is how you know that you aren't happy and that the relationship you're in isn't right for you.

And that, has been my experience too.. that is, before I met my husband.

Yup, agreed on all points. :)
 
I have been single for years and even decades but I have experienced being in a relationship at some point of my life.. Although I am contended of my being single at the moment I am still open to a possibility of being in a relationship for companionship sake.

Hope you find someone!
 
Single for sure. I was married for many years, starting when I was about 17, without even my choice. It was a bad marriage, where I was treated badly and abused. That's over now, but it had ended long time.

Yes, there are good people, but it's not something I want for now at least. If I am with someone, it will be for not serious and not something to last.
He can go and wash his own sh##t :D
