[quote=Anonymous]I have a friend in her mid-50s, never married, but always has had a boyfriend, since her teens. I don't understand why she's never married. Now she's inherited a lot of money and lives this sort of rich single middle-aged woman life. No job, but spends a lot of time and money on her appearance, her house, her car, clothes, hair, etc. Not particularly interested in working, even though she's very smart, and had a career that she quit when she inherited the pile of money. Her most recent boyfriend broke up with her, and she's still kind of looking around, but not really.

I honestly think she's stuck back in her 20s, a place she never wanted to leave. She found a boyfriend who was equally stuck, but he broke it off with her when she began to feel she wanted to get married.

I'm not even sure she actually wanted to get married. I think she wanted to keep that dating thing going, at some level. She has a very nice life, though, an enviable one. She has lots of friends, most of whom are married. She simply doesn't want that life, never really wanted kids enough to get married to any of her boyfriends. She always chooses men with marriage anxiety just to ensure that she'll never get married, subconsciously, I believe.

Maybe other never married over 50s are like my friend? Wanting to stay perpetually young? [/quote]
