8. You have problems with compromise.
While it sounds negative, there’s nothing wrong with it. But if you’re used to doing things your way, and the thought of someone loading a dishwasher incorrectly sends legitimate shivers down your spine, you probably realize that being part of a married couple might just make you miserable. You have a set way of doing things, and you’re more than thankful for a partner who understands — but if they try to interrupt your schedule, or tell you how “their way” is far superior, you’ll end up being pretty resentful.
7. Relationships seem to be more trouble than they’re worth.
You like being in a relationship, but you also like the freedom of being out of a relationship. You don’t ever feel like you’ve met someone who “completes you” or “makes you a better person.” In general, it’s just nice having a companion. Maybe you’ve never felt the emotion of true love, and realize that you’ve only reached the level of “extreme like” with the people you’ve dated. You’ve just never seen a “house with a picket fence and two children” situation with anyone you’ve been romantically pursuing before.
6. You come up short when imagining your “dream wedding.”
They say that every girl dreams of theirs, but you never put two thoughts into it before. It’s not an ultimate goal that makes you happy — in fact, it makes you a little angry. When you catch yourself watching wedding shows on TLC, you find the whole practice to be a little ridiculous. Wedding colors? Linen type? Who cares?
Granted, many women don’t have an exact idea of what they want, but they look forward into diving into post-engagement research when the time comes. For you, the whole process seems like a never-ending nightmare. Even a courthouse wedding seems a bit unnecessary.
5. You have commitment issues.
Again, not a bad thing if you’re upfront about it. If you honestly can’t imagine being with one person for the rest of your life, you might just not be meant for marriage. Marriage is the ultimate commitment. If you know you won’t be happy taking vows that you don’t necessarily believe in, then you might want to consider alternative options.
