Married or single

Are you married or single ?  Do you like to have someone to come home too besides your cats ?

I have been married for 34 years and have 2 grown kids and 2 grandkids. I don't regret having my daughter at the age of 18 its just I wish I had finished school. My husband & I have been through alot,he went to prison, for 19 months about 23 years ago we both got in a car wreck together ( he was driving and had a seizure ) I have Bipolar, I went through 2 back surgeries and got ecoli. ( and I was in a coma for 74 days in 2005)

He can be a pain in my rear but I guess I just couldn't go through all of this without him., My daughter has her own family and my son is in Minnesota.

Nope not anymore and probably not again....I have no time.  I work over 50 hours a week, have 2 kids, take care of my elderly father and take care of my cats.  In the remaining time I have left, I play WoW.  No time to share with anyone else.
 

Common-law, no kids, no maternal instinct, unfortunately. We have one cat whom we adore, and both work shift work. My life is pretty tame I guess

they say that marriage is an institution.

i don't want to be institutionalized.






single/divorced

Single. Engaged 2 1/2 times. Lived with a guy ones for over 4 years. I prefer being single.  No kids. Never wanted any.I tell people I'm allergic to kids. It sounds nicer than saying "I don't like kids!"  lol

I love coming home to just me and my cats.  Don't get me wrong. I would love to find a man to have a long term relationship with, but I'm so set in my ways and selfish with my time, that I am not good at compromising. My ideal guy would be away from home at least 25 of 30 days, and those 5 days at home wouldn't be consecutive.  lol
 

Married to dearest Richard for 42 years at the end of this April. I think I'll keep him. 

Ive been together with Blaine for 8 and a half years, engaged for 5 and a half we did live together but its a long story, we don't have any children yet but have talked about it, so at the moment its just me, Flash and Sooty 

Been a widow since '86 

Happily married since 1978. Wouldn't trade him for the world. Our life is so peaceful. We never quarrel. We go lots of places together and just enjoy each other's company.

Single with no plans on changing my status any time soon :lol3:

I am 51 my husband well be 53 on March 31st and god forbid anything happens to him I vow never to get married again. I have been through alot with this man fights (arguements ) and everything else and I don't think I could go through the rest of my life with anyone crap anymore. I rather live the rest of my life with my cats Bella & Thunder

Married, three kids.  Says so in my signature, so no surprises there.  Married for 8 years, kids are 6, 4, and 2.  

Divorced but practically living with my SO.  We go back and forth to each other's houses cuz we both have kitties.  When he goes home alone I love the free time, we all need to have our time alone and I always loved that.  I will never marry again for that reason.

My sentiments exactly, I don't even like being around kids in my family. 

Single - always have been. I have a boyfriend, but we're both basically "hermit" material and are both of the same mind about having someone else in our back pocket all the time. We're set in our ways - our own, individual ways. I love him, and I know he loves me, but he's out of town alot, he's got his own apartment. I love coming home to my cat Larry and having the time to myself.

Still single at 43.  I lived w/ someone  for 6 & 1/2 yrs (that's when I lived in MN) & was "supposed" to be engaged. When that didn't work out, I moved back here to NC, (15 yrs ago),

 because my family is here.

I would like to get married one day.  It's really hard to meet anyone here though. It's a combination of college kids, & retirees here.  Most my age are already married, or have been there & don't want to go there again.   Also have a hard time because I have a "type," (Boris Kodjoe/ Michael Ealy..)        & it's slim pick'n s around here!!

As far as children, I have always wanted to be a mom, but at this age, at this point in my life, I don't think it's something I would want to start.  I don't think I would have the energy anymore either!

Single because I had 2 relationships and they caused me alot of aggravation. Not an understatement. Alot of aggravation

The thing now is, I think all relationships will do very little for me other than bring me aggravation

Married to Paul for 47 years (would you believe that I was only 2 when I got married? -- I guess you won't believe that!)

No children - just cats. Paul always says "cats don't talk back". (but on second thought - they really do talk back). Love children, but it was never a burning desire to have any. And from some stories we hear from people with kids, maybe we made the right decision. You just never know how things are going to work out. Both of us are retired and lead a very lazy life. We've never been night people, even when we were younger, so we get up early, go to the gym a few days a week, shopping, browsing around, and then come home and become couch potatoes. May not sound exciting to some people, but it works for us. And of course the highlight of the year is our annual cruise. We're even thinking of doing another one this year.

Next month will be our 29 year anniversary. I'm still crazy about him after all this time. We've had our bad times back in our younger days, tough times. I can't imagine the journey to here without him and I never want to be without him. He really is a good man and never lets me forget that he loves me...in words and actions. We have two children. Daughter is 35 and he has raised her as his own since she was 4 years old and our son is 27. Of course, we have our boys, Thai and Taz, and DH is very much a Daddy to them too.

It is nice to hear that when the husband isn't the father of ones child that he steps up and takes over.
