Great, someone implied that I will never get married!

i would remind all the young people who are in a rush to get married that marriage is not the end all, be all of life

i'm pushing 50, and most of the people i know seem to be single - whether due to divorce or death or never having found the right person to begin with

it's quite common to outlive marriages these days - i've done it twice, myself

you've got your whole life to have a relationship, or two, or three, or more

there are many other more worthwhile pursuits in life than finding "the one"

^I agree...

And about what this woman said about you, close-minded people seems to think there is no future for those who doesn't fit the mould. I think it makes them feel better.

Wow! Everyone, thank you thank you and once again thank you so much for your wise words. I've been reading all your comments an it make me feel so much better. I know marriage is not everything in life but gotta admit that sometimes loneliness can work its way through me. But at least I can find supportive people over here that understand me instead of throwing quick judgment out there. As I said, sometimes I concur with what that lady said and feel that I might never get married or end up in a relationship, because I know I'm a very difficult person to deal with plus adding SA into the mix makes it a bit more complicated. Still, I want to believe as of now, that I will be capable of finding true happiness; and by happiness it does necessarily mean being in a relationship but finding and achieving my other goals. I hope all of us here can make our dreams come true and let our fears aside.

Don't worry, one family member once told me directly that I would die alone. You just have to let it go over your head, however much it hurts. Many people do not get married until they are in their 50s or older.
