Anyone else unmarried? Am I weird?

I'm 58, never been married and no kids.

And I know that I won't alter my ways to accommodate another persons wishes. I am way to set in my ways.

And every time I see another one of my friends getting divorced and having to give up half his life's earnings and possessions I am glad I refrained from taking the leap.

Plus I can't imagine any woman willing to put up with car hobby, Hi-Fi hobby, RC helicopters, and dropping whatever I am doing to take care of a client.
I was having dinner with a woman I had only gone out with a couple of times when a client called me with a problem in getting a three camera switched shoot running properly.
I told her I had to leave at once and she could go with me if she wanted or take a cab home after she was done with dinner.
Boy was she PISSED!
She asked me what was more important to me, my client or her. And that's when the fight started. I threw a hundred down on the table to take care of her getting home, paid the bill on the way out the door. And put her on my "do not accept" file on my smartphone.

It seems that sometimes it just goes :idea: :kiss::argue::eek::wow:

Maybe that's why I'm single?

Sir, you are an inspiration for me to keep along the path I've been on for so long. After reading some of these responses, I do not feel out of place anymore. I guess I'm not alone. I'll just be happy if I can get some on the side once in a while. ;)

just be yourself and if you're happy, that's all that matters. sometimes in life some people will say things (in general) to try and pull you down, don't let anyone ever tell you different... :xyxthumbs:
 
Im single, however, I am only 23. I definitely want to get married and have kids before I hit 35. After being around my 2 year old niece, I can tell that I would enjoy being a father.
 
Jacob...here's my advice to you and the rest of the young bloods on this here forum...

WAIT....as long as you can and be absolutely sure the one you're going to marry is "the one." I wouldn't necessarily say that everyone has "the one"...that perfect match, but I do believe that someone can become "the one."

As I'm fittin to jump the broom here, I can't help but look back at my life, especially my younger years. I'd LOVE to go back to my earlier 20's and just "do me" meaning only worry about partying, girls, and having a good time. I was never really a "player"...always worried about committed relationships. I've missed out on alot of things because I was trying to grow up faster than I was supposed to. I always loved the idea of family and being married, but back then I shouldn't have been so worried on finding "the one."

Don't get me wrong...I love my fiancee' very much. She's a great woman and obviously there's a reason for me wanting to marry her.

In short...TAKE YOUR TIME and enjoy being young, dumb, and....wait what?!
 
alko speaks the truth. Wait and make sure she's the right one otherwise you are in for a long and painful life. For the longest time I was determined not to get married..then I met my wife. There may be a girl out there that will change your mind.

Marriage may not be for everyone. There is definitely a lot of compromise. It's worth it though if you find the right one.

p.s. keep an eye out for a thread I'm going to create in a few days of my wife doing a spoof video of "call me maybe" on youtube. I would love to get everyone's support in getting her some views...
 
Who is going to take care of you when you're old? Probally end up in a state run facility where they will abuse you with broom handles

:(
 
Idk, I kid when I say i'll get married when I am 100. I'm only 26 but I feel like, i've been there and have done that. Settling down, and just having family is a lot more important to me than a wild night out in the town. (Just saying)

lol by then alzheimers will have set in and he probably wont be aware of any of it.
 
There's an age old question ...are you happy, or are you married?

I guess you are happy. So what's the problem ?
 
Well I'm the polar opposite, I'm 23 and have been married for 2 years and I have a 3 year old daughter and a son on the way any day now. I couldn't imagine life without my family. When my now wife got pregnant I was 19 and thought my life was over, and that I'd never get to do anything that I had planned for the future. I could not have been more wrong. She brings me joy everyday and is the reason I am who I am today. Without them there is no way that I would be working full time at a job that I like, and owning my own detailing business on the side. I'm happy with life and am very excited for the future. Plus, when I'm 45 I hope to be sitting on the beach in NC relaxing with a beer in my hand w/ the kids already grown up and gone to college. Can't do that when you wait until 35 to start having kids :xyxthumbs:
 
I'm 26 and have been with my girlfriend for almost 6 years now, but marriage has only recently been discussed. If we decide to get married, we've both agreed we're going to the court house and handling it there, lol. I don't need a fancy party called a wedding and she doesn't want one either. We'll just do our thing and then have a get together afterwards. Big expensive weddings are pointless, in my opinion.

I agree, lol. Have the kids young and then have your own fun when they're grown, lol.

My girlfriend has an 8 year old son, who's practically my kid at this point, but I'm not very sure if I want anymore kids... or kid, lol. Possibly one more before I'm 30 or 35 the oldest. If not by then, I'll just have my girlfriend's son.
 
I am 35 tomorrow :D and only 2 relationships, long relationships, no plans to get married I dont regret dont have children even all my friends have them.
