8 Reasons why people Don’t Like to have a Life Partner

Most of us have been taught by our society and family members that one should marry, yet many of us have questions like:

• Should I marry or not?
• Being married or unmarried – which is more beneficial for me?

Well, a life partner will be your lifetime companion and friend, but still, several people want to stay single and do not want to marry. There are some reasons people give against having a life partner. The most common reasons are:

1. Freedom: Spontaneity, freedom, or independence are among the top priorities for many youngsters. Before marriage, they can hang out with friends late at night, go to parties, or do whatever they want to do. The biggest reason people give for not marrying is – they are free birds now and fear that marriage will take their freedom. They are emotionally and socially more independent, without being married.

2. Fewer Responsibilities: Anyone who wants more freedom, naturally also wants fewer responsibilities. Marriage comes with a lifetime responsibility. Especially in India, when one needs to take care of their spouse and their family members, relatives, friends and many more relationships, some people don’t feel comfortable with all this, and thus they think not to marry.

3. Self-Dependency: Many people are self-sufficient. They want to stay single and self-dependent and don’t want to depend on anyone else. They also don’t want anyone else to be dependent on them. Such people think that staying unmarried is a better option.

4. Me-Time: You get more Me-Time while being single. You can go to music classes or gym, or you can simply enjoy your own company by sitting alone and doing nothing, or doing whatever you like to do, and no one would ask you any question. After marriage, there won’t be enough Me-Time.

5. Less worry about others: You want to stay late in the office because you have some important work to finish without worrying about anyone? Or you want to hang out with your friends without expecting anyone’s call and asking when will you be back? You also want to take care of only yourself and not others – neither your partner nor your children? Being unmarried might be a good option in this case.

6. One less person to fight with: This is a very crucial reason people give for not marrying. Such people accept that having a life partner indeed means having a helping hand, but at the same time there will be one more person to fight with.

7. You can make your own schedule: Related to other topics that we discussed above, you can make your daily schedule as per your need if you are not married.

8. Don’t want to limit your sexual life to only one person?: Here is another reason people give for not having a life partner – they want to be a free bird and don’t want to limit their sex life to only one person. They want to enjoy their lives to the fullest by having intimate relationships with as many people as they like without being questioned about their loyalty by someone.

There are several pros and cons of having a life partner, and it depends on person-to-person based on their needs, lifestyle, and thinking process if they want to marry or not.
