Why so many single people?

[lena3018]

Not all relationships are rewarding I feel like if someone wants to take the time to be alone and find out what they want in a relationship that is find. I love being in a relationship but I have also needed time to be alone to work on me. I am glad times has changed where people can be happy being alone than be miserable with someone else. Plus a rewarding relationship can be between family or friends.

I don't most people prefer to be single, maybe those single people haven't found the right person. Personally, I'm okay with being single for now, don't want to end up married to the wrong person. I'm just taking it slow

I'd rather be happy alone than unhappy with someone else. There is no reason for people to jump into relationships. The older generations are used to everyone getting married relatively young and start having children. Those relationships didn't always work out over the years but they stayed together because it was what was expected. I'd rather be single until I can find someone I can really make it worth with instead of constantly going in relationships and be unhappy in the process

I think people have an image of the type of relationship they want and prefer to wait on that than to settle.  Sometimes people just aren't compatible; you can be great friends with a person but fail to make it work as a relationship.  As far as the family unit, I think it's best to separate if there are children involved that are being exposed to a negative environment as a result of the parents residing in the same household.  Also, people live alternative lifestyles and sometimes what you think is just 2 guys or 2 girls hanging out is actually a couple.  Are you single? 

I am married but separated. This is my second marriage and I seen the same type of traits in this man as my other husband. I want a strong family unit but seems like the men I married wants to be married but live like they are single.

So? Everyone is different. It's not right to judge other people's situations.

No one can stick together, one fight and people think its easier to break up then try and work it out.  Thats my feeling

Why do you wonder about single units? Why don't you build one for you? IT IS none of your business.

Wow I did not expect this RUDE comment but I guess you THINK I am just being nosy was just making a statement because I TOO will be single. I do not think that is NOTHING wrong with being single, I just wanted to know why are so many people LIKE MYSELF deciding to get divorced or stay single these days.

I forgot that people like to be rude and hurt people's feelings in forums. SORRY I OFFENDED YOU

I was NOT JUDGING! I was just making a conversation to ADULTS! I thought that we could discuss this topic as ADULTS but I see this is NOT possible. No wonder kids can not handle anything, we as ADULTS can not handle debates.

I am sorry I even tried to discuss this. The internet has made us weak and very anti-social. We have forgotten how to be nice to each other WHAT A SHAME!!!

Im single because Im raising my son on my own...I feel funny about bringing in the wrong man that will do things to my son or me. Dangerous out there so I date but never bring him home or let him know where I live. I dont trust easily and Im happy with my life at the moment.

I believe it has definitely gotten harder to find a meaningful relationship. Some people put effort into the wrong type of relationship thinking it'll hold a future, which causes them not to want to pursue a "serious" relationship.

I think it's due to the fact people aren't par-taking in the low low prices at spatula city.

I believe People have become very selfish, It is a shame of what our society has come too!! I have been married for 40 years to one woman but, if something was to happen to her, even 20 years ago, I would not remarry!! I guess the best example of it is a friend of mine (use to be) left his family, married over 30 years. He left for a woman younger than his youngest daughter. He thought he was in Love with her and all she did was take advantage of him, steel from him to buy drugs and sell his items to get money.! He could not see what was in front of his face. Now his family don't want anything to do with him and he's alone. This was his selfishness, and now he's paying, broke, alone and kids and grandkids don't want anything to do with him, along with most of his ex-friends.

I don't believe this is the case with all, economy has to do with alot of it. Some people can't even afford to get themselve out of a situation, why bring another person or persons into an economically bad situation. I believe this is why Marriage and birth rates have been dropping in recent years.

  It is nonesense, isn't it? I don't build a family and don't have kids. Life is actual solitary whithout a stop and responsibility. You don't have to worry others' bills, expenses, and space. All is yours!!!

I'm happily married. And before that I had boyfriends almost all the time and was a single mother, hardly ever was I single. But I remember every time I was single, I hated it. I was just looking around for my next boyfriend. I didn't know what love was and I got lost in the world of dating to escape reality and to find myself. I had such a low self esteem I couldn't be alone - I had to have a companion. I was messed up. BUT...Now I know what love is, and my husband and children are what make me happiest.
