[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. I think I actually saw an interview or read somewhere that Lauren herself was shocked that marriage alluded her. [/quote]

I’m
Obviously not Lauren Graham, but I’m
conventionally attractive, well educated and relatively successful. I have wonderful long-term relationships with family and friends.

I am just now, in my early 40s, finally in a relationship that I believe is going to result in marriage. It isn’t that I didn’t want or believe in marriage earlier - I did. I didn’t focus solely on my career or some other goal, either - I dated a lot. I truly just didn’t meet the right person before now, and I was happy “enough” single/never willing to force anything I was unsure about. I wish I’d known him sooner, I was certainly ready to be in a marriage/permanent committed relationship before this. I just hadn’t met him yet 🤷🏼‍♀️

That's awesome. And I have to think LG has been similarly happy. I remember her talking about how she was a really hands on "parent" figure to PK's son during very formative years, and it was obvious that she got a lot of fulfillment out of that experience. Just to say, single doesn't mean spinster sitting at home with cats watching Matlock. I am sure she always was fulfilled and enjpying herself.

I am surprised people align marriage = happiness, because it does not work that way at all. I know so many, way too many, women who take on just SOO MUCH for their partners and it is not reciprocated. They feel so unhappy, destroyed even, but they would never do anything about it or leave. The fear of being alone, or having to do motherhood on your own, or what society will think, or whatever it is, is still so huge.[/quote]
