my mom asked me yesterday why i never got married. interesting question. valid question but i would think part of this question also has an answer.
i am 51.
i was in a relationship when i was younger for about 10 years, due to a lot of reasons including a major battle for religion, this just never happened. i should also say— when i was asked -------and mind you i was asked twice with a ring by the same person i felt our relationship had taken its course and i felt it would be wrong to get married for the sake of being married. i am just not of those people who get married to get the token of marriage due to society standards. i loved him but -----i knew it was wrong to get married so i didn’t.
i helped take care of my nieces for about 16-17 years of their life. did my mom just simply forget this?????? i do not have regret doing this as at the time this help was needed. both their parents were solely sperm and egg donors for that period of time and pretty did absolutely nothing to help those two girls during that time of their life growing up. if it wasn’t for my parents and myself to take care of those two girls they would have ended up in foster care with their 100 percent negligent parents. i certainly will not forget that i know some of you may remember this as i wrote about it in open diary. more on this to come…
ok ----------so i just went through about 27 years of my life right there.
i was with david for about 3-4 years and he was incredibly possessive and addiction issues so i left him.
that makes it 31 years.
i am currently with DF and next month will be 4 years in a relationship.
that total makes it 35 years of my life.
does it make sense now ? i would think so. i see so many people absolutely miserable in marriage or many more in divorce . i believe in marriage and have no issue getting married but it has to be for the right reasons. i could have done it a lot time ago. i can still do it now…
