I got married when I was 24. I got divorced at 26. At the time getting married was what I thought I wanted. No excuses, it was my decision and I do take ownership, BUT I did feel a lot of pressure. I'm from a fairly small town and that's kind of what people are expected to do here - get married and have kids. We were not right for each other and it didn't take long for things to fall apart. Much much better to be alone and never marry than marry someone who makes you unhappy, trust me. Wait for the right person at the right time for you. If it never happens, then it doesn't. There are so many ways to be happy unmarried! I'm about to be 32 and I have a wonderful boyfriend who makes me incredibly happy. I could definitely see us getting married in the future, but I don't dwell on it. The idea that you have to be married to be happy and fulfilled is total crap!
What a silly question. I cant help but feel like it is more of a cry for pity. Nothing wrong with that, especially if it makes you feel better for a day or even a minute. But call it what it is.
I am almost 30 and I would have liked to have been married by 25 but it never happened so going on 30 not sure if it will happen. But it had me thinking, is it alright to get married after 30 or even older? You always see young people as young as teens getting married if not people in their 20s get married. Part of me thinks I won't ever get married and it hurts to see everyone else going up the ladder and I am still at the bottom.
Why get married? I think if I knew what I know now about "being married" I would have stayed single! Thank you!
Getting married isn't going up some ladder; that's the weirdest thing I've ever heard...

Nope, no one is allowed to get married after the age of 30, it's a law I'm sure, really, I'm no kidding, I've seen it written down somewhere, honest.......
Quit comparing yourself to others, you will always find them and their lives better than you and your life however, you will never see the inside of them or their lives and know the truth that lies there.
