[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think 35 is a big turning point. Guys who remain single longer than that tend to be odd. You’re better off finding someone who’s been divorced once they’re past that point.[/quote]Odd? Or maybe just maybe, some people don’t want to get married.  It’s unbelievable that people hold marriage on a pedestal. [b]Everybody I know that’s been married or is married says they would never do this marriage thing again[/b] but everybody rushes out to do it. Studies have shown that married women are leading the unhappinest human categories. [/quote]

What in the actual eff are you trying to convince people of? Every single person you know hates their marriage? That is what you have convinced yourself of because no one ever picked you?

I really do hope you not only belive this but also that you share it publically. It makes Id'ing the lunatics so much easier.

- 52 yo man still madly in love with his awesome wife after 33 years. Also the son to two wonderful people still madly in love after 56  years.[/quote]

The percentage of happy marriages is very low though [/quote]

DP.
Define happy.

"Happiness" is overrated. I sometimes envy my single mom by choice friend. She is " happier" in the sense that her space is exactly as she wants it, and she does not feel sad over unmet expectations from a partner since she does not have one.

I have to compromise a lot with my DH. I'd like the house to be different. I'd like much much more romance and communication. But while certain aspects of my life are more unhappy than hers, my kids are definitely getting double the love, emotional and financial security that her kids are getting. I'd trade much more "happiness" for that.[/quote]

Perhaps that is what you tell yourself to get over your envy.

A single mom by choice who planned her kids can get much more love and emotional security from supportive grandparents, aunts and friends than what they'd get from the majority of dud dads out there.  A guy who earns a paycheck only to come home and vegetate in front of the console or computer is a net loss.  The woman and kids are [i]vastly[/i] better off if his check comes in the mail and he vegetates off-site, where you aren't obligated to feed, clothe and clean up after him.[/quote]
