I was so afraid a husband would start making demands

That I never seriously considered marriage.

I’ve been married 16 years now. We have a great marriage and he’s very supportive. But in a marriage you have to consider the feelings of the other. Not demands but it’s still a give and take.

Marriage isn’t for everyone. I hope you either find the right person that makes the give and take worth it or you find peace and fulfillment without marriage.

I have a different problem - I get married before knowing the person because of my fear of being alone…
failed 1st marriage, 2nd I don’t know

I’m 57, and I never married. I’m not philosophically against it. I just never got around to it. Now I feel like I am too old to marry. Certainly too old to have kids. By the time they would be thirteen, I would be seventy. In a way I do feel I missed out not raising kids.
