I wish that I had married and started a family years ago. But I don't know if I would marry at this point of my life, especially without being in a long-term relationship with someone.

Of course you should not consider marrying someone if you haven't been in a long-term relationship.

You are correct in my opinion. It would definitely be a mistake to marry without having established a long-term commitment with said person. Now people will vary on how long that actually is, but marrying prematurely will likely not end well. As far as wishing for what you should have done in the past, well you're here now so make the most of it and don't look back.

Not true. If a person doesn't do any relationships. Plenty of people I know with 10 to 20 year long monogamous LTRs have been with at least that many people. Without even trying. It just happens.

People just don't talk about it.

And it is nice to meet all of you. There, now you can't say that anymore.

How do you arrive at that conclusion?
