[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My aunt never dated and never married. She was a knock out well into her 50’s. Really - everyone comments about her good looks if I post photos of her and her siblings from back in the day. Still looks great in her 80’s. She had a fab career, very successful.

I once asked my mom how come Auntie never married and she told me maybe because she was a bit prudish about sex. She is very religious. Maybe she was asexual, maybe a repressed lesbian (doesn’t give off a vibe for that tho), who knows. She used to say she didn’t ever meet the right man. I halfway remember her once claiming the Marlborough man was her type.

Anyway, she’s had an awesome life, with a job she loved, lifelong friends, traveled all over, and is all her nieces and nephew’s favorite aunt.

So it never really occurred to me to feel there was something lacking in her life. She certainly doesn’t feel that way.

If you go back through your family tree you’ll find plenty of relatives who never married. [/quote]

I have friends and family like this, too.

For some, they experienced (sexual) trauma as children/teens.

For some, they contracted herpes as teens during a time when there was so much stigma it was easier to just not date. (Know any women in their 50s/60s who are fabulous but never dated?)

For some, asexual and comfortable with a solitary life.
