15: You're Afraid Of Not Being In Love
Due to other occurences, relationships can become unstable during marriage. The number one reason for this is a loss of interest thanks to a united love losing its spark, which as a reality, can be difficult to swallow.
14: Taking Risks Isn't An Option
Extroverts and individuals who are outgoing on a day to day basis will find that marriage doesn't provide a lot of opportunities to take risks and try new things. Not only do you have to consider your actions/plans carefully, but you also have to take in another individual's opinion.
13: Marriage Is The End Of Spontaneity
Like a relationship that's exceeded a few years, marriage can unawaringly present a decrease in spontaneity felt by both sides as full-time jobs, calendars and personal plans can be hard to juggle.
12: Marriage Is Too Much Of A Headache
By "headache", we don't entirely mean the nagging and the chores but more-so about the preparation which includes planning for the wedding and what seems like the rest of your life.
11: You Feel Pressured
Sometimes when friends and family are getting married sooner than later, you can feel pressured into the idea of doing the same just to fit in and not appear to be an outcast. Standing your ground and giving in can be intimidating but it comes down to personal choice.
10: Marriage Can Be Expensive
While some do go the quick route (e.g. a Vegas wedding), almost any marriage can cost a hefty price which could almost equal a major personal investment or a new experience worth taking like travelling to different areas of the world.
9: Fear Of Divorce
When you're in high school or college, a relationship can end via a text message or a heart-to-heart conversation without any substantial consequences. When you're married, divorce is the only answer and it usually stimulates negative feelings to grow even more.
8: You Like To Be In Control
When it comes to friendships and relationships, some of us like to be in control and have the upper hand. Taking things to the next level means equality (usually) which can be a difficult thing to immediately understand and commit to.
7: You Don't Believe In Marriage
Some people reject the idea of marriage because they don't believe in the institution. Obligations are never positive which makes it more difficult when thinking about tying the knot.
6: Sharing Isn't Appealing
If having your own space is important to you, marriage slowly erases that aspect as you'll rarely be alone because of your relationship. Did we mention the fact you won't get a whole entire bed to yourself?
5: You Enjoy Being Single
Being single has more perks than being married and committed which is why taking the next step can be an emotional ladder for some. If you still need to explore, then there's a need to not look back.
4: You're Hungry For Success
Those driven by the term success often enclosed themselves in their work until they achieve a certain goal which unfortunately leads to another goal. Stick work ethic next to the idea of marriage and it isn't exactly a fairytale.
3: You're Afraid Of Boredom
It may not feel or seem like it at first, but marriage does mean a commitment to a single individual for eternity. From one perspective, that presents the fear of boredom which can be difficult to ignore.
2: You're Just Not Ready
Marriage can be a huge commitment and because of that, it's beneficial to be emotional ready and financially stable to continue the relationship you're currently in without being disturbed by minor occurrences.
1: Living Together Forever Sounds Frightening
No matter what side of the gender spectrum you're on, your house, especially the bathroom, will change and you won't be fine with it. Not that it'll be way too luxurious for your liking, but probably because stains and misplaced items will mysteriously pop up every other day.
