Is it worth staying single forever?

I would be very grateful to hear various perspectives on the idea of remaining unmarried in the future.

Observing the conflicts between my parents has made me somewhat wary of marriage, as I am concerned about facing similar or even more difficult situations.

Their disagreements primarily centered on financial issues involving relatives and a lack of understanding between them.

Furthermore, since I shared my decision not to marry, they have refrained from asking me why, despite this decision being made in 2019. When they do inquire, I do not offer a response.

I am currently unsure how to proceed...

No. You stop growing as a single person after a while. You need responsibilities to continue to evolve and family is a great way to have it.

I've seen singles still spending on toys in their 40s and 50s with minimal satisfaction. I've also seen mature responsible folks from same age group taking leadership of their household and building better lives for everyone. I would prefer to be the latter.

But in the end, to each his own.

My Aim in life is to be free from all responsibilities, my only problem in life is & always be money.

I never understood people who say oh I have money but it's useless because I don't have satisfaction šŸ˜‚

Yeah, it’s completely fine. With the passing years, you get more comfortable with your own company, and being single and living alone becomes more and more comfortable decade by decade.

If you decide that the single life is what you want, that’s completely normal and okay. Go for it.

Sweeping remarks doesn't serve any purpose unless backed with real life facts

Good. I've one doubt. How to survive at old age.

  1. There should be someone to take care
  2. If hospitalized, there should be someone to look after

Everytime, this questions makes me afraid.

Any suggestions plz?

It's all about trade offs. You get more lonely and life becomes more difficult after crossing thirties. But relationships and marriage come with their own set of problems too.

What i would say is being in a relationship is definitely better than being single or even being married. You have company without legal obligations or pressure.

I would say the world is changing and more PPL want to stay single for various reasons. Unfortunately god did not make us like that. So think this through you are messing with nature and more such singles will only mess things further not offer solace to each other. Life is tough and getting tougher , you got alternatives but marriage can be postponed, can say the same about having a family unless you plan to adopt one. Family is and will be supreme, always.

Marry. Have kids. Go through the process. Burn your prarabdha karma. Or consult a good astrologer and ask if marriage is destined at all. If no fine. If yes, burn that karma by marrying living thst life.

Otherwise, ita loop. If not this life , then in next.
Or choose complete sansyas. Serve society.

Marriage has no incentive for men in today's time. It's a get rich quick rich scheme for women. And gadha majdoori for men. Live to the fullest till 60-70, don't be a burden on anyone after that. Life would be better that way.

Men never had an incentive EVER. Men are supposed to go earn the bread, protect the nation, protect your tribe. The incentive is the species you know or believe in will survive a little more. Nobody is to blame for the role gjve to men. Nature gave us that potential to perform.

Are you guys kidding. Then women have incentive in minus degrees. Lack of time-freedom, responsibility with work AND household and rituals for God's sake. She can't even sleep in without having to explain to the inlaws, husband, maid (if maid is there) etc etc.

Society views it as the woman's responsibility to carry tradition forward , to take care of children, to clean to cook. And now she is expected not to be a financial burden as well. Does any man ever feel compelled to do any of the above? And if she spends time to take care of herself, or too much busy in her work she is ostracized for it.

Find a solution to this then complain about incentives for men. Society thinks men are perfectly allowed to just work, gym, eat , sleep and praises them for the bare minimum. If he does do anything to help at home he's doing a favour right? And if there are inlaws they go out of their way to protect his freedom. Times have changed. Men understand duty right? Well duty must now involve home related chores if the wife is also a working member. If she's not, people have the temerity to say she's just sitting and doing nothing. Open your eyes bro.

Now let's talk about incentives

To be honest, this generation feels doomed. I’d even say it might have the highest number of divorces and unmarried people compared to any before, mainly because of expectations and the way the world is moving. Even I’m planning to stay single, not because I’m bald šŸ˜…, but because of the overall mindset of this generation.

Can totally relate bro, but I feel empty inside. I feel the need of feminine companionship is very kuch required required for psychological and soul satisfaction and vice-versa for women🄲

You’re totally right, but it won’t work out for everyone. If you find someone who truly blends with you, I’d say you’re one of the luckiest

How long you can survive without a family. Your parents won’t be with you forever. Your siblings will forget you once they got married.

Still nothing is guaranteed here if he gets married. He could still end up alone in marriage, he can die the very next day, you'll be forgotten by your own wife and children the very next month after your death.

Go for it. Marriage is a trap where if you are a boy you work like a donkey just to make other people’s life happier

Both the boy and the girl have life's baggage. As long as both are understanding and respectful of each other, they prioritize their happiness over others and lead a good life.

When you are single you live mainly for yourself which is not a bad/wrong thing. Your life will be all about you and revolve around you. Sure here and there friends and extended family would take up some of your time. This life is quiet and peaceful most days. In this life will move at a steady pace and you won’t have responsibilities of anyone other than your parents. You can of course dedicate your life to doing greater things in life without the extra responsibilities.

When you have a partner/family you create, you have someone to share your life and things (ups & downs) with, of course it comes all comes at a cost and understanding from your end and even your partner’s. This life would be chaotic but also exciting as there would be other’s lives intertwined with yours. With shared responsibilities you grow in different areas of life.

You need to decide the path. Both are not easy.
