There is so much BS on TV etc...good luck to those who are but I don't see it for myself. People give up to easily and divorce too soon. They say they get bored..hello...marriage takes work! Just my opinion people | |

Posted: 9/14/2006 4:42:36 PM | I suppose I think some folks were intended to get married at once, and other get married at last.
I think too many people don't take marriage seriously enough these days as a "in it for the long-haul, thick and thin, death do us part" venture. I think I'd rather not angst about not having been married before given there is a 50/50 chance I'd be divorced already...I'm good with waiting...  | |

Posted: 9/15/2006 7:05:55 PM | | Will be 44 in a couple of weeks myself. Just don't dwell on your predicament I say to the O.P. There are so many variables in life as to whether or not a person will actually find a mate to be really happy with. Since I *know* myself I realise I'm not marriage material. | |

Posted: 9/15/2006 8:12:51 PM | I am soon to be 32 and I have 2 gorgeous daughters (from the same guy and we were engaged), I love my kids more then anything but thank god him and I never married, YET, marriage is something that I really hopes comes my way. When I was in my 20's I always thought that the age 30 was "the age" where you had to be married,own a home with the white picket fence,blah blah....I was scared to death to turn 30 let alone realize that what I thought was the "norm" hadnt happened either. I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason,what ever that reason may be, but I am still looking for the one to walk down the aisle with..lol
Any takers???

Posted: 9/15/2006 8:27:03 PM | | I know the feeling. I know I can provide a loving and fun environment for kids and I do feel badly that I have none. How do I know? My nephew and the neighbourhood kids seem to like my brand of fun pretty well. It's been a real blessing having them around. To see them grow up and be so inquisitive is just great. I would like to be married, but given my lot, I think I have something for which to be thankful! | |

Posted: 9/16/2006 7:11:15 AM | Hi
I am not married, unfortunately and don’t have any children that I know of! This day and time I don’t see it as being abnormal, it is an individual thing I would love to be married with children but it is important to have the right person to be married to! | |

Posted: 9/17/2006 1:19:51 AM | Hey Daisy, not sure whether you've find the special someone and been happily married!! 
I'm 35, never been married, and no kids. I look much younger than my real age and most of my friends (95%) are in their mid-late 20s and single, so it has never occured to me that my clock is ticking!  It started from last year that some bar tenders stopped asking for my ID. It was at BJ's, I finally spotted a vacant seat by the bar and squeezed in between a group of young people. The bar tender asked them to show their IDs; but when he turned to me, he cordially poured the beer I asked for without a word! :) heehee.. I've reached the point of not having to prove anything any more... ;) | |

Posted: 9/18/2006 4:00:28 AM | I'm 39..just months away from 40. I've never been married and if I had married any of the choices I'd made earlier in life I'd never have made it as far as I have.
There was, however, one guy who came along in my early twenties. He was bypassed because my heart was broken over another wrong choice. If I'd married him (the one guy who was my saving grace and heart mender) I believe we'd still be together. That being said, I didn't and that's okay. I don't regret the choices I've made to look after me first although I've always wanted to be a mother. I still hope to be. I realize I don't have to give birth to be a mother.
Now I seek a life partner who will be my companion, love, laugh, share burdens and grow together. That is all I want. Where the heck is he...!!!!? hA! | |

Its hard to find that special person to settle down with. Everyone has too much emotional baggage, high expectations (personal or society) pressures to meet, persuiting your career goals, finding the time the to make the relationship work.At times I want to get marry, but its too hard. People got too many barriers around them to let love take it course.
Read my lips and repeat what works for me *ahem*:
"I am not a porter for your emotional baggage. Find your own d*mned cart." | |

Posted: 9/27/2006 8:55:01 AM | | I'm 31 and not married. Actually quite a few of my friends are in the same boat but I think because we've been pursuing different things, and in this day and age it seems like following a career path and rooting yourself in success has become a bit more important. I know that is definitely the road I took. But after everything is all said and done, no matter how many friends and family you roll with, no matter how many relationships and dates you've had in the past, there's still that one spot deep down inside that is lonely. (Any takers?) And like many of you folks here, you just want to spend the rest of your life with that one special person both emotionally and physically, and enjoy life's successes together. | |

Posted: 10/18/2006 3:17:29 AM | I'm 37 and have never been married or had any children. Most all of my relationships up until I was around 29 were long term. Longest being a little over 6 years. My last relationship lasted about 10 months. Do I have any regrets? Nope not one. I think I've made the right decisions so far. I just wish I could go ahead and find 'the one' so we can get on with things. But they say good things come to those who wait. So I think that's what I'll do...
G'luck everyone. | |

Posted: 10/18/2006 5:26:05 AM | I am 32 and have been married and divorced twice.... whoa lucky me huh? While my checkbook is much lighter I am the happiest I have been in a long time being single. No in all honesty I married young the first time.... and married wrong the second time..... but anyways we all make choices in our life that reflect upon who we are. I dont have any regrets in my life what so ever. While yes I believe there is someone for everyone. I admit I would like to find that someone..... You know settle down, have kids, get mortgage, pets, pillow fight etc. I havent found that person yet but will not give up the fight. Call me crazier then a amish stripper.

Posted: 10/18/2006 10:35:09 AM | | I'm 32 (soon to be 33), never married, no kids. Part of the reason my last serious relationship ended was because he wanted to get married and I wasn't ready. It's funny, when I was in my 20s I always thought I'd get married around 30. As 30 got closer and closer I started thinking "eh, 30's young. Maybe 35." Now that 35 is getting closer I'm thinking "40 still isn't too old to get married!" No, I have no idea why I am thinking in 5s. ;) | |

Posted: 10/19/2006 8:16:11 PM | You're not the only one. Although I do know how it feels that way. It seems lately that all my friends have gotten married, and I 'm somewhat left behind.
I find it harder and harder to meet men anymore. It would be great to find someone to spend my life with, but at the same time, I'm not willing to settle for anyone, just to be with someone. | |
