Why do some married people tell singles "don't ever get married"? Married people: if you have advised a single person to never get married, why did you tell her/him that?
As a single person, I have been told-by married people-to never get married. At best, it is not the married person's place to dictate what a single person that wants to get married should do with their desires. And at worst, it's hypocritical for a married person to say this since they're, well, married. I get that married people know what it's like to be married; but just because they are unhappy in marriage or having issues, does not mean the same will happen to the single person being told to never marry.
