[quote=Anonymous]I didn’t settle. Neither of us did because he swore long before I met him he would never marry until 30 and I purposely said I’d keep getting degrees and earn my own $ before I ever settled.

We met and it was immediate fireworks, insane chemistry.  We ticked every possible thing on each other’s list.  Married at 27. Kids 35 and 38 (by choice) because I also did not want to bring kids into the world unless we were 100% ready, ignoring everyone’s warnings about fertility and I better start blah, blah.  Each kid was conceived on first attempt.

I say that —it’s still a long marriage.  Marriage isn’t always roses even for those that didn’t settle.  A lot of sh@t comes up.  People change. I remember reading arranged marriages/match makers sometimes have better outcomes.

It’s life. You don’t know. Life is a series of choices.  Perhaps I’m still married because of that initial chemistry/friendship because nobody would blame me if I divorced—but the deep love is there. [/quote]
