I can't even imagine a future where I don't get married. If everything works out, which you can never say for certain, then I will get married in a few years.

Yeah...all the freaking time,as far as the op is concerned. Sometimes I feel good about the prospect when I consider all the marriages gone bad,and the divorce rate. At other times I still long to experience it. I probably just long to be in love more than anything.

I don't see it in the future, only the past - and the eternal present.

Even that doesn't stop people.

Why though? To give a kid parents with same last name??

I know marriage is not in my future. Not because the opportunity hasn't presented itself, but because I chose for it not to be a part of my life. It's never been a goal of mine.

There are waaaayyyy more important things in life than having a man.

Being married is way overrated by many. I was married once and wouldn't ever get married again, but I might feel otherwise if I hadn't tried it once. I can definitely say it's not for me. I can barely date someone in the same zip code without feeling suffocated.

It's statistically proven kids do better in a married household, and of course to carry my last name.

My ex got re-married and that didn't work out for her either.
No surprise. Also, it didn't bother me in the least.

Honestly, I could care less what she does with her life. She is not my problem anymore.

Marriage is not in my future because I do not want to ever do that again. It works for some but for many others it does not.

Maybe as a whole but not in my case.

I wish I was raised by my mother only. No doubt I would have had a better childhood and probably a better life overall.
