[quote=Anonymous]I'm 48.  Never married, one child I had at 36.  (an oops.)

My life is decent.  Do I wish I were married?  Sometimes.  It would be nice to have a partner for things (and for sex!), and it would be very nice to share household expenses.  Head of household around here is expensive!  But I do ok.  I have my daughter 4 days a week and have solo time the other 3 days.  When we're not quarantined, I have a good social life and a good workout schedule and time to read and pursue hobbies.

I know a lot of single and divorced people.  They're on a continuum of "very happy" to "not happy at all", just like my married friends.  Most of my single/divorced friends have the money to travel and do fun things, so they have good lives.  Some of them chose singlehood and some of them ended up there.  Some of them went through a sad phase when they realized they probably wouldn't have kids, but a lot of them seem ok with that too.

I don't think the single/divorced people I know are any weirder/broken than the married people I know.  Some of the most f*cked-up people I know are married.  I don't know that there is much correlation.  People with issues often find other people with complimentary issues to marry.  [/quote]
