Are YOU marriageable material right now?

As a spinoff of the “How many marriageable people do you know?” thread, I’m curious here whether you think you yourself are ready for a marriage (or a long-term union if you don’t want to/can’t get married).

If you do feel ready for it, was there a certain point at which you had an “Aha! I feel like I can get married now” moment, or was it a gradual building up?

If you DON’T feel like you should or could be married right now, why not?

No; my wife wouldn’t like it at all.

I’m getting married in 30 days, so I’d sure better be!

I am currently married. I have always felt that I was good marriage material, though, and it was always only a matter of coming across an equally suitable man.

I don’t care much for marriage. I’m not absolutely opposed to it, but I don’t feel the need. If I were to marry it would be with someone I’ve already lived with for a long while in a commited relationship. Since I’m not in a commited relationship, I’m not marriage material.

Not yet. I have to get a job, etc…

Technically (as in stable, sane, and employed), yes. Emotionally…possibly. My fiancé died unexpectedly in late 2011 so I’ve really just moved into “dating is not fraught with peril” in the past year.

I imagine the “right” guy might make me feel differently. :slight_smile:

Well, I AM married now.

But if, hypothetically, my wife died or left me, do I see myself as marriageable? Uh boy… the idea of rejoining the dating pool and seeking out a new wife is too depressing to think about. I have extra incentive to make sure we live happily ever after.

Good question…am I ready to settle down with one person for the rest of my life? I am.

I’m still working on my Masters, but I do have income coming in, etc. I can be there for someone emotionally, physically and all that jazz.

So sure, why not.

I’m an asexual loner by nature.

Yes. I’ve been told I’m a catch.

Yes, I suppose I am. For the most part I have my shit together. Finding the right person is the hard part.

In the sense that I’m not already married, I guess I’m marriageable. But I can’t imagine who’d put up with me.

You don’t wanna get mixed up with a guy like me. I’m a loner, Dottie. A rebel.

Seriously though, I’m not out painting the town but I think I like being alone more than I like being in a relationship. If it was a zero-stress no drama no-or-low-maintenance relationship where we could just be ourselves I would love that, but finding someone like that is daunting.

I’m currently married so I suppose I am. Not available, but good marrying material.

I was married for 18 years, have been separated for 18 months, and cannot ever imagine getting married or being in a relationship again. I still have a bitter taste in my mouth.

Maybe I’ll recover in another year or two.

Nope. Become too accustomed to not being responsible for anybody else, and I would not take on any kind of a relationship and thereby represent myself as dependable for their needs.

No. Wish I was though. :frowning:

Sure am. I’m amazing, as I tell my wife every day. She’s lucky to have me. I can tell she agrees by the way her eyes roll and the derisive snorts when I tell her, too. :stuck_out_tongue:

Yes
