The GLORY of being 'SINGLE' !!!! - Page 5

Because to me that was what I would define marriage in my terms. A loving commitment made to someone, that is genuine and honest and straight from the heart. Not some contorted sociolegal contract as it has become. Other than that I'm very much a non conformist who does not believe in having relationships between me and someone else validated by gazillion other people. Maine commitment ki na, bas, chup chap saath dene ka aur natak nahin karne ka. 😆

which weirdos picked "confused"? 😆

Probably the ones with the "open" and "half" relationships - if we are so confused about their relationships, imagine how confused they must've been! 😆

Sirf saath dene ka what about saath rehne ka 😆 After sometime saath dena may not be enough and you may want to go for saath rehna also , so would you prefer a live in relationship to marriage in that case ?

Pyar kiya to darna kya, commitment kiya to sochna kya. Laugh, love, live, together, for each other. Ever thine, ever mine, ever ours. Yeah stole that line, its a good one. Chris Noth was smooth.

What you two have never been confused. 😡

Ok, OBJ is perpetually confused enough to know that he is confused and in that confused confusion he would pick himself as not confused. Chalo, Ajnu ko maaf kar diya. Can't wish confusion upon a friend. 😆

PS: I picked single. Even if I sound confusing to others. I'm pretty well defined on the inside and know where I am and what I am doing.

Simply because to me that commitment in itself is what a marriage ought to be.

As I said, no need to conform to these sociolegal contracts and expectations. No need of rituals. No need of external approvals.

I fail to see where the confusion lies. Either you are married or you're not. If you're not, then you're either single or you're in a relationship (relationship is a loose term). What is so confusing about that? That whole "its complicated" thing on Facebook also goes over my head as well. What the heck is so complicated?!?

I have this weird thing where I don't like people who have "its complicated" chosen on their relationship status on their Facebook profiles. I already know right off the bat I'm not going to get along with this person. First of all, make up your mind and un-complicate things. And even if that is just so undoable, I cannot help but wonder what compels me to inform the world about their complicated relationship status. I have a feeling most of 'em are single and hating it, so they pick that category to help lie to themselves and others who may happen to see that on their profile. 😆

But rituals are so much fun! Why are you so boring?

If u r not committed then u are not in a relationship........sorry for being blunt..........but there is nothing like half single😆......a relationship cannot exist without commitment....unless its a blood relation...

Translation : in a relationship means you kinda see someone very or more or less frequently....you have sex or you kinda flirt - not committed means that she won't expect the guy to be faithful/lovey dovey puppy type or to ask her hand for marriage....

I would say that its a very personal decision and so is the need or no need for sociolegal conformation. As a social being most of the ppl would love to follow some social norms especially those that are not harmful in anyway. Wanting to remain single can be understood but if one is already committed then should one shun marriage just for being a non conformist or is there something against the institution of marriage itself ! Even if an individual man or a woman does not feel the need for sociolegal approval what about the kids ? I dont really see any harm in a sociolegal approval . Or am I missing a point somewhere ..
