Question

To people married: If you were not married would you be happy???

Answer 1

no. There was a time in my life when I was very happy being single and free, but that time has passed. I love being married to my husband, and if that was gone, I would feel a hole in my life.

Answer 2

i don't know.  it depends on the day & what my hubbie's done.  sometimes i think i'd be happier alone.

Answer 3

I am very happily married, have been for 34 years....if I werent married, Im sure I could be happy...I dont believe you have to be married to be happy. Im just lucky.  

Answer 4

No I hate loneliness!  Been on that lonely road to nowhere!  Its really sucks!!!  I am more happier being married to the a woman general! We may be both compatiable to each other but we have nothing in common with each other! I hate! I hate!  I hate being single!  

Answer 5

It would depend on the circumstances.  I love my wife, but I don't view being in a marriage or even a relationship as a requirement for happiness.  I've certainly learned the most in my life when I've been by myself.

Now, if my wife LEFT me, I'd be heartbroken, but that's part of the process.  I certainly would want to be happy again FIRST before committing to another relationship.

Answer 6

yes me and my wife dated fore 3 years i was fine with that but she was not she stayed after me to marry her so i finally did i steel ask what i gained by doing it?

Answer 7

That question depends upon the persons make-up.

Some people are are a true "couples" people, meaning that they need

to rely (and of course) enjoy having a person of the opposite s*x

to be with on a consistent basis.

Some people (such as myself) are not as reliant on their partner

(but still enjoy being with them) but would be equally happy leading

a solitary life.

Answer 8

I can tell you this. If you're not happy single, you won't be happy married. In other words, if you need to be married, you don't need to be married.  

Answer 9

I was married for almost 6 yrs to a man I was with for altogether 16 yrs and now we are getting divorced and I haven't even talked to him in almost a yr.

When we were together.. I was happy most of the time, until he started beating on me and my kids. Then our oldest wound up in jail for some stupid stuff and he walked away from all 3 kids and myself. So it depends on what is going on.

  Are you unhappy in your marriage?? If so.. soul searching is a good idea. Why are you with him? What can he do for you that you can't do for yourself? Etc.

Good luck and God bless.

Answer 10

I'm guessing I would be happy at least a good portion of the time. My marriage is not the only thing that causes me to be happy.

Answer 11

While I am very happy to be married, but I don't think it would have made me unhappy not to be married. As long as I was happy in my relationship, and loved, it really wouldn't have mattered whether I had a ring on my finger or not. As we've seen through other people here, having a Mr or Mrs before your name doesn't always equal happiness.

Answer 12

No.  I hate being alone and I'm miserable without a partner.  I am happiest when I have someone around to talk to, cook for, and drive me crazy.

Answer 13

yeah sometimes i think i might be but there also is that thing that we have and no at the same time. I love my husband and have been through so much so i would say it just wouldnt be the same.  

Answer 14

I THINK I WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY..... IT WOULD BE A TOTALLY DIFFERENT LIFE LIKE BEFORE

Answer 15

At this point I might be happier. Not to say I don't love him, I just miss the single life.

Answer 16

Definitely, that's why I'm getting divorced!
