I guess it's not greener

Why is it that married couples encourages single folks to stay single when they're married.  What's wrong with me desiring to be married.  When I see cute married couples walking around I think it's awesome.  It's something I look forward to one day.  But why is it they want us to take our sweet time.  Hello I'm close to your age how much longer do I need?  Plus you have me thinking, what you're not happy now, are you regretting your choice?  Are you saying had you waited longer you would of married someone else?  Is that what you mean?  It's unfair for you to say such a thing when you're already in it.  It's unfair for you to take away my dreams when you are living it, it's unfair for you to say anything against marriage until you are on the other side of my shoes.  I actually think being single is overrated to a point.  People act like being single is the world.  You know what as much as I enjoy my freedom at times there are some things you still can't do alone.  You can't go to a concert alone, um loser.  You can't eat at a nice fancy restaurant all dressed up, sipping on wine alone, hmn desperate.  You can't really go to sports event alone without someone next to you to cheer with.  You can't go to a comedy show alone, ah weirdo.  You can't go to an amusement park alone, lets say  creepy.  You know what's worse, as much as being single, you can feel even lonelier when you're sharing quality time with a complete stranger you don't care for or when you're in a large crowd and no one to share your experience with. Now that's lonely.  It's a bummer cuz all the fun exciting things you can't just do by yourself.  Oh and trust, you are very lucky to find a friend to even do those things I just listed.  It's a drag and so discouraging. These are things you need a partner for and I'm just annoyed how someone is looking forward to being single after being with someone for such a long time, only to desire to be with someone better.  Good luck out there!  It's one thing to break a marriage to figure yourself out and spend time alone getting to know you and enjoying your space but to break out and stamp single to mingle good luck with that.  Of course your rouse of having fun is a different topic but to think you can find someone better because he doesn't stand par with your own selfishness is a fool soon be departed.  All that fun and excitement isn't what it's cracked up to be and before you know it you're 65 years old wondering where your time has gone.  I'm just saying folks need to stop acting like the grass is greener and make the best of your choices before you make any life changing plans.  And when you do don't pass the torch of thinking you're helping the next person out because you're not.  We all have our own paths to follow, the least you can do is to encourage us because you took that chance as well.
