"I will go insane with a husband and children. That is me, and that's why I never want to get married.

"I am selfish, I know, and I hold it with my full chest. When I wrote a list of why I wanted to get married, that's when I never want to get married.

"So, companionship is out of it 'cause I love my space. I like to come back from work or wherever it is and open my door knowing nobody is around.

"...Honestly, I love that shi.t. I like to go on solo dates, I like to go on solo travels. I have enough companions. I have family, I have relatives, I have good friends, Um, love? I can love myself.

"Love is from within. I cannot outsource love. Someone else should not love me better than myself, and I don't need additional love.

"All the love that I need is within. I don't need support from one particular person, who is my husband. I have support from family and friends. That's why they are there. Right? That as I support them, they also support me.

Lawyer's stance on marriage draws reactions

TolaG said:

"Truth be told, there are way more couples either struggling insanely in their marriage or/and have broken up. And I'll also say this "not everything is for everyone." Meaning both marriage isn't for everyone and so is being unmarried. Fulfilment is different for everyone, whether partnered or happily solo."
