Oh dear. It's not jaded if you're happier single than married. That does not mean a marriage was bad. It simply means some have found a new way - after marriage or being widowed - and realized they gave a lot and received a lot and now just prefer to do it completely their own way. There are definitely more options and the wonderful opportunity to do things without having to deny yourself for someone else. That does not mean we don't think of others and that we don't do for others, but we don't have to do it on a daily basis. Some want more freedom than others.
Definitely not jaded - simply open to the next new adventure.
Definitely nothing wrong with being single, if that's your preference. But, I don't like being single (did it for a few years), but haven't lost hope or become jaded just because other relationships didn't work out.
even at 47 i feel i have never accomplished my dreams though i was never quite sure what my dreams were in the first place. I do well enough for a single person but not enough to support a family and for these reasons i feel this would impact negatively on a marriage

Even with 2 people working, marriage and raising a family is NOT inexpensive.
Female, 40's. There's a real strong chance I won't get married again. Wouldn't rule it 100% out, but I think I need to be single for a very long time, this time.
I hope I have a serious one-to-one relationship down the road - just without the exchange of vows.
When I am ready for something long-term, I hope I meet someone who still wants his own place. He's more than welcome to hang his hat
at my place - as often as he wants - as long as he knows we'll each be king of our own castle.
I compare it to changing sand on a beach..........
Is the picture in your profile yours? If so, you look young to me to get married. Enjoy your freedom! Besides, you might kick the bucket at the altar...
Yes we'd live in a duplex. Have our own space. Good idea right?
It's a wonderful idea. It is my ideal (I always envision it each with our own floor of a two-story house, I knew a couple that did that and it worked beautifully).
