Married fourteen years, been together for fifteen. Was married before that for three years, but that was a huge mistake.

Single life can be good, for those thinking that relationships will fix your sadness, it just opens up entirely new paradigms of stress heretofore unbeknownst to man lol. That being said, I adore my wife and daughter and I'll do everything in my power to keep them forever. I love being married, it's good for me, but it's not for everyone for sure. I've got a buddy who just can't keep a relationship going to save his life, and honestly he seems happier when he's not in a relationship at all, so I don't really understand why he keeps rolling the dice with it. To each their own I suppose.

My wife and I have been together for 20 years, married for 17, parents for 15. We have our issues, but we're solid.

Chris Rock had it right - married and bored, or single and lonely. I've been both, and being married and bored is much better for me personally. My hat's off to all the people who love being single and are truly happy.

See if you agree with my assessment: In a relationship, your highs are much higher and your lows are much lower.

Being single is a pretty steady level of contentment.

It's way more comfortable

You just have to worry about yourself. Imagine having kids, and also having to worry about them + your wife.

This is why I was single when I was unemployed. Couldnt deal with the stress of not being able to help with the bills.

But I found someone that's worth all the risk, so I'm engaged. It's nowhere near as comfortable, but its worth it.

Single dad with two fantastic kids. Had a few relationships in the last 5 years, but never really committed to anyone in particular. I wouldn't recommend this life if you don't have money. If you do have money, I would strongly recommend it!

I’ve been married almost 8 years. Crazy thing about us is that we met in April and got married in December of the same year. She was married but the papers were signed maybe a month later. There was enough time for the 6 month requirement by law. We got married and went to the Nassau on a cruise. We are getting by. Good communication and spending quality time together works the best.

I’ll make a big celebration thread if that ever happens. 😉

It's some new thing about women forsaking men because Trump won the election.

Yeah, I know.

I first heard about this on Resetera, so that tells you everything, lol

Sweet Christ lmao.

Well, any woman who partakes of such a movement isn't worthy of any man's time, so that's a convenient way to weed out the spiteful cunts from the decent women. Good on them for showing their true colors up front instead of revealing that they're basket cases two years in, should save men valuable time.

I've been in a relationship for over 10 years. Not married though. I think about it every now and again and while I don't mind the idea of it, I don't think I want the ceremony/big day of it.

Maybe some kind of secret thing would be good. But then, I worry that people would be annoyed for not having been invited.

Engaged three times, but married on the third try. We had a small ceremony with just close friends and family.

Now a dad to a 'spirited' 3-year-old lad and eagerly awaiting the arrival of a baby lass next month.

I feel like I could sleep a solid 4 weeks if given the chance.
