Subject: How to feel okay that I may never get married
I am 45 and still single. Multiple serious relationships but while a few of them wanted to get married, I have never felt like it was a good enough match for marriage.
Anyway, I would rather be in a great or good marriage than be single. But I would rather be single than be in a poor or mediocre marriage. And as you get older you seem that a lot of marriages kind of suck. Especially for women. This is easier for me to say because I have always been ok without having kids - I’m neutral on that. But a lot of women who are married really get the short end of the stick, op.

It's okay to have a sense of loss.

Being single at 39 does NOT equate to never marrying!

23 percent of those ages 30-49 are single, 19 percent of those women.

Practice letting go and you’ll receive everything you want.

I'm 44 and single - I have cousins who are 48 and 50 who are also single. It's become a lot more common in this day and age to be a single lady. We no longer need men. We can have children without being married, vote, have a career, buy a house, have a bank account. What do we need men for?

Have lots of great, steamy, passionate relationships and enjoy the heck out of them. Marriage isn’t everything, and it can be fun to be single and dating (a lot)!

I have two friends who married for the first time after age 50.
Live your life, OP. Love may simply be waiting further down the line.

Hi, I’ll be 39 this month. I’ve had good relationships but they never turned into anything serious enough to get married. I’m trying to practice being okay that this may never happen for me. How do I do this? Anyone stay single and can share advice on how I can be okay with this?
