[quote=Anonymous]I didn't get married until I was 35.  By the time I was 27-28, I figured I'd be single the rest of my life.  I dated and had a BF here and there but hadn't met anyone I thought I could be with for the long haul. Would it have been nice, sure, but I was also fine being single.  I had an exciting job that frequently took me to unusual places overseas, had a nice little apartment just the way I liked, had lots of friends, good social life, etc. Life was GOOD!

I met now-DH through a mutual friend.  He tagged along on a group outing.  I'd never felt such chemistry with someone! In addition to me finding him physically attractive, he had a warmth to him that really appealed to me.  He was comfortable with me being 'smart', we had a lot of similar interests, liked doing a lot of the same things and he was emotionally available/intelligent.  In fact, he was far less guarded emotionally than I was and I felt emotionally safe with him.  I could really be myself. He was very different than what I thought was "my type".  My previous type was more ambitious, more high powered, etc.  Yet, those relationships never worked.  Not to say that DH doesn't have aspirations.  He does/did.  He just doesn't see me as competition, celebrates my achievements and is comfortable in his own skin.

That was it for both of us.  We've now been married 25+ years. But, I also would have been fine being single the rest of my life.  Better to be single than with the wrong person. [/quote]
