Marriage was *never* in my cards.
I am a smart skunk, after all.
I can't be bothered with it anymore. When I was a decade younger and still able to plan my life with someone else then yes but alas, I was single and had no choice but to plan my life alone so I did.
I wouldn't be happy at this later stage to have someone interested in marrying me when I already settled down.
As I have said many times, I can barely look after myself emotionally without having to cope with another person.
If I had developed a significant other relationship, I would have preferred a situation where we lived independently in our own houses.
At this age, <sing> "I'm just a bachelor boy and that's the way I'll say."
"Marriage" is simply a manmade construct, after all, and was predominantly a vehicle for raising children.
Psst. I have never wanted children.
