It is better to live and enjoy your 30's than to get married and fall under the big responsibilities, not to mention that if you have sons it is worse...

There just wasn't anyone I could imagine spending every day of my life with. Then I met the man I couldn't imagine NOT spending my life with. 23 years later I'm still completely in love with him. I don't think it matters when you marry, it only matters who you marry! Life is marathon of breathtaking moments, don't miss them worrying about what you don't have. I was right where you are.

I'm twenty three and have NO desire to get married or have KIDS. Egad! It's so great being able to do what you want to do and have no one tied to me. I think people my age who are getting married and having kids are insane. I want to enjoy my twenties getting to know myself and what I want. Being 23, I know that I'd prefer freedom. I'm not jealous of people who are getting married. In fact marriage just seems to be a big show. Being single is so great, I'm convinced I'll never be able to live with someone, even if I am committed to them. I think biologically speaking, if you want to have children, having them younger is probably better. Risks go up for women who have children past prime childbearing years. I'm not having kids either. I look at those those HAPPY families and wonder, "Am I truly missing anything?" My answer...ABSOLUTELY NOT. If it's what you want, go for it. But don't expect it to be all hearts and roses. My true desire would be to have a day off, I think then I'd be happy. Besides if all your friends jumped off a bridge, would you do that too? lol Especially if they are going in head first?

What the hell ever happened to women's rights? No woman in her right mind should believe that there's an age limit on when to get married (Or even IF you should get married. In case you don't know, it's not necessary to get married.) I can't believe that there's women out there who claim to be interested in women's rights, and then ask dumb questions like this. If you really believe in eqality at all, this isn't even a question. What a fricking stupid question.

A person feels like the best ones are taken and that your biological clock is ticking. You are usually happy, but the odd time feeling a little lonely.Well for one thing - a lot of these friends that married years ago will have kids and a broken marriage by now. It sounds like a few of your friends waited until they were older too and now you are feeling left out. I'll guarantee that it is better to wait for the right one to come along rather than have a life of h--ll, like a lot of people have that we all know. It would be better to stay single than be in an abusive relationship. I had a similar life to yours and people can be MEAN (like a few comments above) I could have been married a few times,but loved them as friends instead of someone to spend the rest of my life with--guess I just wasn't ready to settle down when I was younger. When the right one comes along you'll be happy you turned the others down! I waited until the right one came along (was 31) Have now been married for MANY extremely happy years,we have two wonderful grown up sons with lives of their own and wouldn't change my life for anyone's. - Hang in there, Mr.Right could be just around the corner. Wait for love, not convenience! Just relax and don't worry, you could meet him at a club or wedding, work, etc. Good luck! I've talked to a few people that had the same feelings as you and Mr. Right came into their lives too, they just weren't in the same town earlier. You are totally NOT alone on this one.

As a result, the single person today has no where to turn, where in the past they would have lots of time to spend with their parents, large close extended family, neighbours, etc. The plight of the single today is much more about modern alienation than about whether you marry or not.

But we have evolved in the sense that there is a duality in relationships between men and women alike. There is a definate decrease in marriage altogether an a definite increase in divorce. Strategists say that marriage may not even be a custome in our everyday culture very soon-but this is only the way of the west. If you are a traveller such as I myself, you will agree that the rest of the world stick stuck to their traditional customes and lie a fundamental importance in achieving marriage. Marriage, you can say, is a not so self deed, among all others. Society puts you in so much pressure these days.
