My grandparents split up about 2 years ago after more than 50 years of marriage...why? They weren't in love anymore, and it was quite amicable. I'm sure they were very happy for those 50 years, but there came a time when they were just done.

I think you're very naive.

As for the OP, I wear a small silver ring on my left hand at work and people generally don't comment on whether or not I'm married. I've found that in workplaces, people are nicer to me when they assume I'm married, especially other women. I guess I'm not seen as a threat anymore, and a bit more stable as opposed to a swingin single woman in her 20s.

I am going to be hitting the big 3-0 later this year though, and I have had plenty of comments from my friends and family asking about whether or not I'm going to be settling down. The thing is, that I'd LOVE to find someone, get married and all that jazz, but I just don't see it happening anytime soon.
I have experienced far more in life than I would admit here and when it comes to marriage why marry someone who failed before in the other hasn't? the odds are that marriage will fail so why take the chance?

You shouldn't if you are uncomfortable with it. I just don't understand why all the fuss. Just don't date the guys you don't like. Is the problem that other women still date them? Is that it?

Well, your screen name says it all. I predict you will be alone and with your attitude, you deserve to be.

Because too many judge me on this. I don't care how others live but I am strict and people don't get it and keep telling me I am wrong.
