43 and single. I’d like to be in a relationship, but I’m aware I can be a difficult person to get along with. I’m not happy about my status, but I’m not miserable either. It helps that my closest friend is female and I have a lot of other friends.
WVmom, Are you me? (well, other than the fact I’m male, and it’s only 15 years so far…)
And where are all the other courageous souls who will admit to being in this position? Oh, right, we’re the only two unhappy couples represented on the board :rolleyes:
42 YO, and (as I said) male.
Yeah, we’re few and far between, aren’t we?
52, female. Unhappily married (28 years in April).
23, unhappily single. Never been in any sort of committed relationship, happy or not.
When I say unhappily single, though, I don’t mean I’m unhappy in general. I’d prefer to have someone but I’d much rather remain single than be in an unhappy relationship just for the sake of it.
I don’t understand unhappily committed. If the relationship isn’t working, they why do you stay? I guess WVmom says it’s for the kids; but my son seems to have survived the divorce just fine and both the adults in the marriage are better off now.
Male, 40, single, dissatisfied.
Male, 40, happily single.
I’ve been married (just shy of 6 years), and have had a couple relationships after that. Now I’m quite happily nonogamous, and I don’t expect that to change.
Oh, and kambuckta? If you’re too old for “girlfriend”, doesn’t that mean you go straight to “old lady”? 
Well, me too. Female, 52, unhappily married.
47, male. Happily in an ongoing relationship. You’d have to define “committed” before I could tell you whether I’m that or not.
37 Y.O male and I just bought an engagement ring last Friday! I hope she says yes when I finally ask her! (aside: she will, she has practically asked me already)
31, happily married (with a few bumps) for a year and a half, expecting our first spawn of Satan in August. We’ve been together a little over three years.

Married & (mostly) happy. But if/when this marriage ends, I intend on spending the rest of my life single, and think I’ll be pretty happy about that, too. Sometimes, you feel like you’ve had enough of putting up with a husband (just the little shit that drives you buggy, mind you).
27, female, happily committed (engaged!).
I’m 25 and happily single. I’ve been in one serious relationship several years ago, and a few minor ones as recent as January, but I much prefer the freedom of being on my own.
35 and happily married. We’ve been friends since high school, a couple since college, and married since 1998. No kids, no plans to have them–we’re having too much fun!
Thirty-one, male, engaged. If everything goes well, the wedding will be at the end of September. That might be enough time to get used to the idea of being in a permanent relationship. Maybe. Right now, it still scares the crap out of me.
I’m 23 and female (well, with this username, you’d hope so).
Happily marrried for six months, we’ll have been together for 5 years in August.
Because unhappily committed doesn’t necessarily always mean “miserable with no hope for happily committed.”
41, female, unhappy, but not hopeless, committed for 2 years. Happily committed, 9 years.
Getting scarily close to 50. Female. Very single and self-sufficient and generally quite happy about it. Some days I think it would be nice to have someone to share my life with, but then I think about all the things I like to do and even thinking about a relationship seems like too much work. But you never know.

Female, 32, happily married for a year and a couple of months.
