[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a friend like this; she and her sister are both single and childless in their 40s, despite both being beautiful, brilliant, accomplished, kind and lovely people.

The reason is that their father was a domineering critical overbearing ahole whom their mother tried and failed to leave. Usually when both children don’t marry there is a reason related to the family of origin; so instead of worrying about them, search inside yourself, your marriage and your parenting for why they feel more comfortable alone.[/quote]

I have a cousin who grew uo in the most stable household I know. I was jealous of her because I never had that myself. She spent most of her life either single or in short lived relationships. I asked her why she's not married and she replied: "I saw what a great marriage should be thanks to my parents, but I also learned that a great marriage isn't what I want in life". She's been in a relationship for 10 years. They see each other often of don't live together. I doubt my cousin intends to be married.[/quote]
