I do see others my age who have happy marriages....but I see a lot of people who are miserable in their marrisges & just tolerating them for financial reasons like I did for way too long. I would rather be single tgan relive that again.
Most of my friends at my age are either divorced or widowed (male & female) so we do just a lot of stuff singally together ehich I enjoy (no pressure)....but I agree, the idea of having someone right to share life with would be nice though I never invision that ever happening.
But even at my age I understand what you are feeling

You make some interesting points. However, let’s be clear, if my choice is to either remain single, or get into a relationship where I know I’ll be unhappy, I’ll obviously stay single (that’s a no brainer). I’m not going to get with someone unsuitable for me *just* for the sake of being with someone else. There has to be a future in it. That’s another reason why I’ve been single for so long – because I would rather be a bit lonely than subject myself to an unhappy situation. But is hoping to meet someone and be happy so unreasonable?
