[quote=Anonymous]I am one of those 45+, never married, single mom women. Had a fiancé who was so sweet, fit, smart, educated and loving. He also could only ask 5-10minutes in the bedroom. It was a major deal breaker for me. I wish I could have endured our sexual issues. I ended it and have never met another man who measures up character-wise.

I went on to have a kid with a fling. He was great in bed, but horrible character and values.

Now, I would like to get married to an older and loving man. But I have two homes, a solid retirement plan, and financially stable lifestyle. Getting married seems so risky. I meet men often and I have tried to secure long lasting relationships. My tolerance is very low. The last guy who I really loved would have these scary arguments with me. My stomach would get so sick after our arguments. He had a history of anger management and even walked out on his wife and two children (1 a newborn). I tried so hard to deal with it because we got along in other areas. But his anger created a big distance and I just decided to remain single instead of trying to push for more romance.

I do feel like a failure because I have not secured a husband. But all my married friends have tolerated infidelity, verbal abuse, unemployed husbands, addicts, criminal behavior or sexless marriages at some point in the relationship. I don't know what the right answers are. But I don't have the mental fortitude to deal with a partner who causes lots of volatility in my life. [/quote]
