Soon after that things start to go downhill, mostly in less than 5 years, with things taking on a different dimension.  Although the actual and legal divorce may not take place until it becomes inevitable, the symptoms of it would linger throughout the marriage. Promises made during the hay days of the relationship, way back when the love was still fresh, become points of disagreement for they are hardly kept and the mere mention of them would trigger endless arguments, usually to the man. The funny part of it is that none would forget even a single mistake made in the past and would come up every time there is an argument.

As things progress in this fashion, the desire to come home for lunch dwindles. Words that were uttered early in the marriage, “I don’t like to eat food other than your cooking”, prove to be empty words. Instead the man goes around town eating at different restaurants. The money spent on such luxury means nothing to the man. When it comes to little money discrepancies at home, on the other hand, the issue money becomes huge with the man asking where every little bit went.

 Having seen the game, and seeing her hopes and dreams turning bleak, the love the wife had for her husband now starts to die. She will call all her friends and reminisce of the good old days - the white dress, the stretch limo, and the music and so on. Cursing her luck, she starts to regret the day she rushed into marriage and wish to have none of it anymore.  

The first great thing about being single is the total lack of arguments and drama. I have seen some absolutely ridiculous arguments take place between people I know and their significant other. It's a great feeling to not have to deal with stuff like that.

Then there is the root of all evil. I' m talking about money. I realize that many people who are just dating do not share money. Keep it that way. You would think that two sources of income would result in twice the amount of money - hah! Money is the number one reason that couples argue, and I agree with this statistic 100%. No, I'm not stingy or tight with my money, but when one person spends 50 times on average more than the other person, something must change.

Another huge problem that comes up when you are dating: friends. Your friend starts dating someone new and before you can blink, they are gone! Yep, that's right. They completely ditch you... no more hanging out. Why? Because all of their time is now devoted to new relationship.

But, this works both ways. As the person in the new relationship, you are no longer allowed to talk to your friends of the opposite sex. My female friends outnumber my male friends by a 2:1 ratio, so you can imagine this was not cool. I nearly ruined some great friendships but luckily I was able to patch things up. Now, I can talk to and hang out with whoever I want, whenever I want without the fear of causing an argument. See how this all comes to full circle?
    
So, will I ever "date" again? Perhaps... but I am certainly not actively looking for someone. Why? well, why should I? I am perfectly happy being single. I don't need someone there to "lean on when times are rough" or whatnot. Man up, handle your own problems. Be your own person. Being single is not the end of the world; you aren't "lost" forever. I am free to do what I want, when I want with whomever I want. Oh, and I have serious trust issues with people and I highly doubt I could ever trust someone enough to, well, "share my life with" If marriage is anything to do with disputes why not stay single!

Because life is precious and short, if you don't care it, it will never be with you. These days its hard to get the right you were intending when you were young, life doesn’t always turn out like expect it.  I do understand that it's not the best way to put it, not all marriage life is failure, but what is also wrong with being single.
