Single vs. In a Relationship vs. Married

[arthas™]

This is a thread for discussion. Para sa inyo mga katambay, ano nga ba ang advantages of being single against being committed, vice versa? Well for me, being single has many advantages, like you do everything you wanted to without someone dictating on what you should do. But I believe being in a commitment e makes you more matured. I've been to that stage years back, but I would like to know your points of view on this matter.

I am an introvert, so I appreciate my alone time. Pero being in a wonderful relationship has it's advantages too.

If your partner understands that you need some time for yourself, and time with your friends without going psycho is a great feeling.

There are times when I would like to be alone in the house, cook some stuff preferably some pasta or a huge rib-eye steak and sit back and watch "The Godfather" re-runs or a marathon of "Game of Thrones"

Or fix myself a cup of coffee or tea, (cigarettes when I still smoked) and read my book outside and enjoy a nice and quiet sunny afternoon, no noise but the birds chirping and the cool wind passing through some trees.

I could still do all those things even if I am in a relationship. You just have to let your partner know what you need, and if you need some time for yourself, go for it.

Masarap din in a relationship. You come home tired and stressed and there is a warm smile and a hot meal just waiting for you when you get home. You get to have warm hugs and amazing company 24/7 when you need it. If you're lucky, you even get to have a massage, how great is that?

Waking up with a delicious cup of coffee and breakfast of bacon and eggs next to you is always an amazing feeling.

Someone to have little harmless gossips with, inside jokes and naughty whispers while you guys are walking along the mall is quite refreshing too, and always beats the feeling of being inside a conference room and talking about the most mundane boring stuff the corporate world can throw at you.

Someone who wakes up with you early in the morning to complete the "Simbang gabi" and going somewhere to have a nice quite breakfast is always great. Goto and Bulalo in Tagaytay anyone?

Traveling together in strange places? Sign me up.

A snap decision of going to the beach and just buy whatever along the way? Been there, done that.

Both have their advantages and I am happy and blessed to enjoy the advantages of both worlds.

Everything is possible mate, the world is your oyster.

  its more on single of me boss

you can go anywhere when you want to, flirt with opposite six, never ever get tired of your time alone all selfishness hahahha, no one telling you this or that, no hurt aches, no pain, all gain, no fighting arguing.

nung nsa relationship status pa ako (jurrasic era) masarap ung pagising mo i love you agad ang makikita ko sa cp ko, when i come to their place she always cook food for me, stroll together in that particular favorite place where we promised (broken already) have that steamy wild feelings for each other and that hugs and kisses everytime we got to seperate.   

haha well thats my exp though i admit nakakasawa na magisa hahah just need to find that one who will make me complete. kung cnu ka man halika na d2 hahaha

Being single

-You can do anything what you want to do without any contraints
-You can go anywhere without asking permissions

Being with relationship

-You have someone who is willing to support you
-You have someone who always try to cheer you up when you depress
-You have someone who can talk to when you feeling down...

nice thoughts guys... ako magulo buhay ko hehe I consider myself single and at the same time in a relationship... so i love both the advantages of it.. kaya langf doble rin yung disadvantage...

[¿m☺ÿ]

nice thread bro +karma sa iyo........

Been single for 30 years before i decided to tie the knots....but as people says.... there are  always advantages and disadvantages...
single or not we have to face it there will be no perfect status.

Disadvantage of being in a relationship:
1. You loose the freedom of being on your own, or do things at will without informing your partner.
2. You will realize that no matter what you do, your partner will be involve.
3. You will know that it is hard to decide without your partners input and i suggest asking her input if you're a man everytime you want to decide on something to avoid long argument.
4. You will understand the difference of being logical and unlogical but can't really do something about it.
5. You will come into conclusion that you are always wrong no matter how right you are if you are a typical man and the opposite if you are a woman.
6. You will realize that no matter how hard you try to avoid arguments, you will still end up in argument with your partner


Advantage of being in a relationship:
1. You will learn how to adjust your life's perception at will
2. You will know that not all arguments will end up in war but in more intimate nights.
3. You will be motivated to strive hard for the betterment of your self.
4. You will learn that being responsible and careful on what your doing will make you a better person at work and at home and will make you avoid a lot of arguments from your partner
5. You will have a good reason to go home early or decline boys nights out
6. You will have someone to warm you during cold nights wether it is because of the airconditioning or the cold weather
7. You will learn that silence can save you from a lot of trouble
8. You will feel that at last your are wanted by someone, that you are somehow important...etc...
9. You will feel that a hole in your life has been filled-up and somehow you've been contented in what you have.....

dami pang disadvantage and advantage na hindi ko maalala but one thing for sure...somehow this disadvantages are the things that makes us  grow and makes us a better person.....

Agree all of the above..too many advantages of being single but onething i know it is really nice to be in a relationship specially to someone that you really want to spend your time with for the rest of your life..no worries about the disadvantages coz we all know that is part of life..it is on how you handle it..   .. ..

[darkbahamut]

Sabi nga sa kanta....Masarap maging single...pero mahirap ang mag-isa...

to be single... haaay,
  means i can do whatever i want, drink, revel and be merry. walang kaagaw sa remote, i don't have watch tagalog cheesy movies, i could watch porn all day and wear the same pajamas for a week.

but to be married.....
 you get to someone to share your dreams and your achievements, she gives you purpose to succeed because you know her future depends on you. she'll be in your ups and downs. someone you will hug at night and you will feel secured.
---- i would not give up being married to the right person.

the best illustration for this topic is the movie The Family Man by nicolas cage and tea leoni.

marami nga sigurong advantages pag single. less ang problema, wala kang ibang iintindihin kundi ang sarili mo lang, pwede ka umalis ng umalis ng walang magagalit sayo pag di ka nagpaalam [bukod sa magulang mo, lol] at syempre less gastos talaga.

pero para sakin, mas gusto ko yung committed, yung in a relationship. masarap ang nasa in a relationship kasi lagi kang may karamay. may boyfriend/girlfriend ka na, may instant-bestfriend ka pa. yung tipong masasabihan mo ng kahit anong maisip mo or maramdaman mo. pag masaya ka, nasshare mo sa kanya, pag malungkot ka, nag oopen up ka sa kanya. mas nakakagaan ng loob.

ayun lemeng po. hehe :]
