"Is being unhappy when you are married worse than being unhappy when you are single?"

Yes because your options are limited and it is more than likely you've got dependents to think about. A single person can please themselves without having to take others into account [within reason, obviously].

Dear OP

You would be what Bridget Jones called a "smug married" ... I have many friends in my "real" life who are smug marrieds like you ... they are not happy in their marriage but still very smug about being married ... I was married for over twenty years and now been single for over ten years ... being happy is a state of mind ... my marriage wasn't great but I kept myself happy ... as a single now, I'm happier than ever.

You don't have to be married to be happy you know. Sounds to me like you're trying to convince yourself you are happier than an unattached person!

I agree with Yourultimatedesire

Being married and unhappy is far worse. It affects both parties and kids if they are in the picture.

Also agree with BucksMans72. You can be happily married and enjoy a little something on the side. It's been proven to enhance the marriage if done properly and discretely. I know people who have mastered this art and happy to give references to any newbies who need help. However, as I've been sworn to secrecy it's not going to happen.

So we have to be careful on here. Know what you want and try to stick to it. Don't fall in love with your IE but have an amazing body and mind-blowing experience...

Love it and very true

Being happy and being happily married are very separated things in my book.
Jeez I’ve been dumped for a dog 🙄😯🥱 so yes us women would be dropped in a second.

Definitely a daft question, you’d think we’d have some better topic of conversations by now.

Happily married and on here .. maybe happy because they’re having their cake and eating it.

Everyone on here is on here because something in their life is missing, be it companionship, sex, friendship. Ask the question of which aspect the man would forfeit; wife / home or an IE and without doubt I reckon most would give up their IE like a hot potato. The financial security and stability at home would win hands down. Ask a married woman and I don’t think you’d get a definitive answer; we’re more complex!

So, who’s happier, married or single? It’s a daft question, as daft as asking which is best, flowers or trees.

For the record, I’m married and I reckon I’m pretty happy (now he’s gone back to work).

Definitely unhappy when married is worse. For sure

Seriously how can a man be happily married but on IE... that’s a complete joke. The number of guys on here that say that, if you are happily married and love your wife then why the fuck are you on here? I don’t think you’d still be happily married if she knew....

I’ve done both ... and I prefer living on my own (but miss the sex) .. although there are a lot who don’t get that anyway ...

but I think to an earlier point if you’re not happy it doesn’t matter whether you’re single or married ... and that is a miserable thought ... life is too short

Everyone's different I suppose. Some people are happier with company, some like their own space and freedom. And again, it'll depend on the partner of that person too xx
The secret is though.....be happy!! 😁

I’m happily married, but love the thrill of the IE. They’re separate things.
