Confessions of single men who intentionally never got married

Check out these interesting confessions!

Marriage isn’t for everyone. Not everybody can handle being with one person for the rest of their life. Some desire freedom and some desire independence; the thought of marriage freaks these kinds of people out. And so, many people make the big decision of never getting married to someone, so that they can live a life without marital fights and disagreements, which undeniably can get pretty stressful. Hence, we bring to you some confessions from single men who never got married.

2/6

A virgin by choice

I know it is very unlikely for men to be virgins at the age of 35 but I am. And I don’t regret it. I have been happier since I accepted the fact that I can still live my life without a partner. And as for sex, I never really needed to do it.”

Ashish, 33

3/6

Freedom is too costly

“I just can’t imagine a life where everything has to be dictated by another person i.e your wife. I just bolted out of that life with a determination to never get married. And I won’t lie, I do feel lonely at times but it is much better than being with someone you constantly have to deal with and inform things.

Prateek, 40

4/6

Being comfortable with asexuality

"I realised I was asexual when I turned 25. Being a man and never feeling turned on was so weird. I felt that I wasn’t normal. But slowly, I became comfortable with myself and also realised that it wouldn’t be fair for me to marry someone and give them a sexless life. So, I stayed alone and it hasn’t been that bad.”

Dhruv, 31

5/6

Happy with casual relationships

“I am 41 and fantastic! I can do whatever I want, go anywhere on a vacation and even mingle with anyone! It is all so easy where there is no ‘wife’ in the picture. You don’t have to constantly be worried about the person restricting you from doing things. I believe it all boils down to one thing, freedom. And I have it and life has never been sweeter.”

Ritesh, 41

6/6

Living the gay life

“I am a single gay man living in India and the idea of getting married is a far-fetched thought. I never wanted to get married because I know getting married to a man would be impossible, given my conservative family and the society I live in. And then, I eliminated that thought.”

Utkarsh, 37
