I am 34 unmarried. Just got out of a 15 year relationship and am now quite happy with my new partner. My only dream in life is to get married but I know with this guy it will never happen… What should I do ?
Hey, I’m only 28, but I’m sure I could be tempted…
How about changing your goals?
Happiest couple I know are in their fifties, been together as long as I’ve been alive and have never married (each other).
Second happiest couples are both gay 
I agree with ShibbOleth, you need to examine what you want out of life.
If you are sure that you need to be married to be happy then dump the guy you know won’t/can’t marry you and only date guys who are “marriage material”. There isn’t anything wrong with wanting to be married and only dating guys who want to be married. But, it might narrow your pool of dating partners considerably.
OTOH, you might decide that your current man is the one you want to spend your life with even if you never get married. Maybe that relationship is more important then marriage to you. Maybe not.
Don’t let people make you feel bad if you insist that you want to be married. I want to be married to the person I am going to spend the rest of my life with. If he told me that he would never marry me I would have some serious considering to do.
I’m 35. Never married. Looking for relationship with no needs but lots of wants. Actually I have something going now, but it’s still in the early stages. Marriage optional. Don’t want kids or other emotional baggage. Very few people out there our age without lots of baggage, so I end up with younger women mostly, which is odd because I was always with older women when I was younger.
What is it about marriage that makes it your dream? The commitment? The wedding reception? Pressure from your mom? The prospect of alimony?
Yeah me too. My SO and I were discussing this recently and he keeps saying that you don’t need to be married to have a strong committed relationship. I’ll admit that that’s true, but there are rights that you have as a married couple that don’t come with just being in a relationship. Plus, for me, there is a permanence to marriage that isn’t there if your just living with someone. (Yes I know about the divorce rate and all that.) Marriage to me signifies that the two people have actually made a decision to spend the rest of their lives together not that they are together because it’s convenient.
oohhh and she’s Scottish too! That’s sexy…
how you doin’?
(I hate that phrase, I can’t believe I just used it!)
I’m 40 and have (by choice) never married. But I’d marry any American woman in a trice, if only because I’m a Brit who loves the USA very much and would love to live there. But I guess that’s not really in the spirit of the OP, is it?
Hmm, I’m an American woman who loves the UK very much and would love to live there, and I must say Mr. ianzin is beginning to look very attractive right now…
If we get hitched, don’t we both get dual UK/US nationality? I’ve got a good reference book hereabouts somewhere that explains all of this stuff. By the way, Fret, you truly are beautiful. I’ve always thought so, I just… well… couldn’t find the words before.
Eonwe.
I think I like this guy already
I am good thanks for asking and yourself and yes I even visited your webpage twice
