10-15 year theory
in BNOTB
I'm 32. for me, all the good guys worth being in a relationship with are either married, in steady long term relationships, or otherwise unavailable.
I do wish them all the best, but with the statistics of 50% of marriages (and therefore relationships in general) not surviving, I figure, I'll have a chance again in the 2nd round, between 10-15 years after this first round of folks split up.
Agree? Disagree? Discuss!
Re: 10-15 year theory
Well, that's certainly one way to think about it. But I wouldn't get too excited about inheriting some miserable ***'s damaged goods.
If you live your life well, it won't matter if you have a man or not.
My aunt is 57 and unmarried. She never married. She recently just retired from 31 years of civil service. She made a boat load of money and spent it on herself. She advanced in her career and she was happy.
What I mean to say with this kind of exemplifies what MN said in bold
I agree with this as much as I can, but I haven't been single since I was 17
I guaran-damn-tee you that if I should ever find myself single again, I will probably stay single for a long, long time.
I kind of regret not being able to grow into myself by myself, but I would never in a million years not want to be with FI. Does that make sense?
I have such a solid support system that I would be ok. I'd hate having to pay rent all by myself (I don't think I'd get a room mate), but I would love to be able to live on my own and know I could do it.
**I will be taking the hunter's safety/whatever it's called since we recently passed conceal carry.
I agree! A bunch of them will have kids, though. :-(
