Thinking about being single

I’m married and we are doing much better but I find myself thinking about just being single. The past day we’ve bickered about money and budgeting. If I were single things like that would be so much easier. Plus grocery shopping, planning activities, etc.

I’m just not sure marriage is worth it.

Marriage is incredibly useful for an SZ person. So many benefits. Just have to go out once in a while though, and maybe clean up the house.

I’ve been married for ten years and sometimes think the same thing.

We don’t argue, but we have our little issues.

I think the truth is we romanticize being single because we’re getting bored or aggravated.

At least I think that’s what’s happening in my case.

I personally don’t find marriage a good idea. They are vowing to stick with me for life. That’s scary and disturbing to me because I don’t want to put that on them and it puts pressure on me not to relapse etc as that would become difficult possibly.

I can’t even unclog a toilet. Personally I need a partner to help with many things that I cannot do for myself. The more people who care about you the better and no one will love you better than your husband usually

When I was single I bought a house and had a lot of friends. Marriage is so cumbersome. I don’t feel like I’m able to accomplish as much as I would single.

Really its a personal choice. Each has its advantages, no one is better than the other.

I’m not against marriage but I’m not for it either, I think people feel stuck in marriages because it’s a legal commitment vs a relationship you can just end. The happiest people I ever met was an old friends mom and boyfriend, they never got married and didn’t need it they were always happy. Being single is nice, learning to do things for and by yourself I think is important even in a relationship. But I am just some random dude, so don’t take what I say to heart.

My wife makes me crazy. However, there’s no one else I’d rather have making me crazy and I’m sure I’d be an even worse crazy without her.

I’ve been married 20 years come December. I’ve seen all the ups downs, and roller-coaster of marriage. It’s still way better than facing mental illness alone.

I’ve been 17 years with my boyfriend and I’m thinking to be single because of my behavior but it’s too difficult after these years

Being single for me is like being orphaned

Not really, my family loved me more than my gf.
She ditched me because of my sz. My family on the other hand prevented me from dying homeless. I will inherit a big house, a car, money, etc and I will live with my brother.

There is priorities in life, having money and being able to work is more important for a man imo
