"I think that it is infinitely better to live a happy and engaged single life than be in a relationship that does not work." Amen to that!
I am 36 and have never been married. I've had several relationships, none lasting more than a year (can you say commitment issues?) and at times there have been long dry spells in between them. Thing is, I like myself and I like my life and I'm not willing to settle just to be part of a twosome.
Lots of people think that way, though. I remember when I moved to North Carolina at age 23... a kindly old southern woman asked me my husband's name. I told her I wasn't married. Her hand flew to her mouth and she said, "Oh honey, I'm so sorry." People fear (or don't like) what they don't understand. I also maintain many of them are secretly jealous.
