Am I the oldest person here who has never married?
   
I'm 51, did get close to marrying, a couple decades ago.

But we broke it off.

Anyone here older, yet never married?
And are you happy?

I am, mainly due to my two cats.

2. 54 and single here.
   
I would say I am content. It just never happened for me. Never wanted children so there is no regret there either.

6. I'm 57 and never married. Also came close a few times
   
but luckily didn't do it. I did live with a guy once for 4 years, which was enough to tell me I was much better off single.

I am happier than most of the married people who I know. I don't believe that I would be happy married, it is so much better to deal with only my problems instead of mine and his.

Am I pathetic? Or smart? I never can tell.

No question about it. You're not smart. You're a DUmmy.

10. I'm older than dirt
   
Never married and happy as a clam. Hmm, let's see if I can come up with any more cliches.

I like living alone. I'd make a terrible spouse. Ever so happy I never had children, too.

16. I'm 56 and never married, but I'm unhappy about it.
   
It's not so much marriage that I'm missing as it is falling in love. Though I've had relationships, including living together, I don't think I've ever been truly, deeply in love. I also believe that being in love, having a life partner who you're in love with, is probably the best thing one can experience while living on this planet and I'd like to experience it while I'm still here. From my observations, it also seems to be the quickest route to happiness.

I never really cared about marriage much when I was younger; I figured I'd probably do it "someday." Unfortunately, "someday" has been here for quite a while now. I'm thinking about marriage itself more in recent years because I want to have somebody who I know is there for me, somebody in my corner, when I get old. I have no siblings, have no family, and it scares me to not have a next-of-kin.

(I have a boyfriend currently, but it's more just enjoying doing things together at the present; he doesn't love me or want a future together. Just my luck that when I met someone, this is what I got.)

 :lmao: That's the shitz.

17. 50 coming soon for me, never married.
   
I'm fairly happy. Wish I had a few good friends to hang out with, hit a bar now and then, take a road trip, etc. Not sure why I don't have that, but it's ok.

I have one cat, and a changing two or three outside that I feed, but I really like having my inside cat around. She's a character.

I wouldn't trade it, though. I like my freedom too much. I like to be able to come and go as I please without explanation. I like the single lifestyle, even if it gets a bit boring and lonely now and then. Just need to find one or two like-minded souls with a sense of adventure.

No remorse. No regrets.

20. 53 and came close several times but one or the other of us was never all in.
   
It hasn't bothered me much until the last couple years. The world is not made for single people over 35 or so.

21. 45 years old I have friends but have had no serious
   
significant other type relationships. I'm a hospice nurse and I see people and how they die. My job gives me joy. But, I also know the importance of being married and having kids.
I've seen many people with very little money die at home surrounded by loved ones at the end of their lives. It really is beautiful. There is a certain amount of giving and receiving that married people and their kids have that we don't have and I believe it comes back to bite us at the end of life if we live a long life. I do get depressed about this.

All Y'All people are throwing away what the DUmpster faggots would love to be legally able to do.

Irony.

Well, Sparks, better to have tried it and found out for yourself, rather than be so self-absorbed and afraid to commit that you ended up like the crazy cat ladies in that thread.

Me, I'd probably be dead or in jail if I hadn't married.  Decisions take on a whole different dimension when you have to worry about how they're going to affect your kids.

Don't let the Irish part become too dominate. I'm Irish and was married to two Celtic women (Still married to one). A strong willed warrior mentality to say the least.

The opening salvo comes from Archae.  I've seen his DUmp pic.  It was memorable.  Ordinarily, their picture threads are a steaming mass of faceless unknowns.  Not in this case.

Yeah, that "my job gives me joy" comment threw me for a loop, too.  Odd choice of words, unless you're Dr. Kevorkian, I guess.

25. I'm 50 and never married
 Edited on Tue Apr-12-11 10:49 AM by meow2u3
The last time I had a boyfriend was 18 1/2 years ago, and he was emotionally abusive--a con man who turned out to be a serial wife beater. Thank God I didn't marry him; I would have been his next punching bag. And no one would have believed me, to boot, because he was popular in his occupation.

I learned from the mistake better known as my last ex-boyfriend/live-in not only never to shack up with someone before you marry him (he got the gravy and I got the shaft), but also not to belive any sweet-talker before you get to know him.

Well, I did end up with a car he put in my name, so I packed up my stuff and left for my mom's house back in 1992. I've sworn off American men and have been celibate ever since.

I have my mother-and-son cats, so I'm a little happy. I do miss the human companionship.

My last ex-BF was an attempt to try to get over the loss of the only man I ever really loved, who, sadly, returned to his home country. At least he was honest in that he suggested I needed medical care, which I'm getting right now. He wouldn't date me because he told it to me straight that he couldn't deal with a woman with an untreated psychiatric condition. I got treatment too late.
Curiosity didn't kill the cat--it killed the OWNER!
:o Why does this scream "mole" to me? :-)

In other words the man was tired of your tantrums and bitching and got as far away from you as possible. Because if he really loved you, he'd stay with you, help you get the help you need, and then take you with him to his home country if he wanted to go back.

Man they're full of relationship angst today!

Husbands are too hard to "raise".  What do/did you plan to do with him if you ever did get married?  Raise a husband?  Train a husband, okay... but raise him?

Their cats should bolt out the door too.
