Hello all. To all you happy married people, kudos. Good for you. I don't guess I will ever experience the bliss. My marriage was very difficult for a number of reasons. The failure was mutual; we share the fault. Now I am lonely and 54 years old. Have tried the flirting, dating and trying to be receptive thing. Just made me insecure and vulnerable. I believe I will live the last decade or so alone, and will die alone. Never had children. I am okay with all that. I never had children, so I am not responsible for anyone else. Anyone else out there doomed to aloneness? If so, how are you faring?

What the hell is wrong with these young dudes out there? You are 25! You should be out there, hitting the gym every day- working on your career- saving for a nice sports car, traveling the world.

I am 35, no kids, never married and I was talking to a friend yesterday- I would only marry a woman, if she was hot as hell, otherwise HELL NO! There are like literally BILLIONS of women in this world-and I don't understand these dudes that settle for sub-par, below average women who usually tell them what to do, a lot of these dudes ain't even getting any sex- PATHETIC!

Cut your losses right now, divorce this woman, forget this marriage BS, go enjoy your life, party, get wasted, travel the world- you are wasting some of the best years of your life in a prison!!

And NO, don't use this word "significant other", it makes you sound like a pansy with no game

You sound like Jack Nicholson in that movie "carnal knowledge". Don't ever marry a woman just because she is super hot. She will age eventually. You are better off single, just get comfortable with dating less attractive women as you age or pay for the younger better looking ones. You are 35 so your choices are getting slimmer.

My first marriage lasted over 25 years, but I had misgivings that started within months and never went away. I guess I don't give up easily! In retrospect, I should have ended it as soon as the issues arose. The second best thing I ever did was end it. The best thing I've ever done is marry my current wife - there have been no regrets, no second thoughts. It's been as idea a marriage as I can imagine, and better than any I've seen.

I was the same way. If I would have trusted my gut, I would have not married her in the first place. I was thinking about best things that happened, I am not sure I could assign a 1st, 2nd or third place to the best events that happened. It was more of a chain reaction of events that made it all excellent

Dating less attractive women? Are you out of your mind? Why the hell should I do that- there are literally billions of women all over this world! Pay for younger ones? That is for LOSERS!

My parents immigrated here from Brazil- I speak Portuguese fluently- If I am ever an old man desperate to "get married" - I would probably spend some time there and come back with a young, hot wife in less than 2 weeks. Like I said, I don't see a reason to settle for crap, given the endless supply of beautiful, young women all over the world.
