Everyone is married or getting married except me- sigh

Dragon2 November 12th, 2014

I guess I feel a bit down as all my friends are either in relationships or getting married / are married and I'm the odd one out.

it's on my mind often and it can ruin my mood being single (never had a relationship I must add)

Hey Dragon,

It's okay to have not been in a relationship before. Sometimes it just takes time to find the right person and being married or wanting to get married does take time. You want to be sure of the relationship you are getting in to, so don't feel bad about it at all. I have friends that are not yet married and are older than I am, but they are completely okay with it because they are waiting to find the right person for them! Keep your head up high darling. If you ever want to speak to me about this, do not hesitate to send me a message. Sending lots of love and hugs your way!<3

I know that doesn't feel good, but at the same time you don't want to get into a bad or toxic relationship just for the sake of being in a relationship. A lot of people seem to put too much emphasis on this idea that people "should" or "need" to be in a relationship. Sure it's nice when you have a good one, but it's not the end of Theworld either if you don't right now. Better to wait for a good person (hopefully the right person) try to enjoy being single for now. It doesn't reflect on you or make you look bad. If it's gonna happen it will happen, there's no need to rush. I'm sure a good person and deserve someone special. Good luck.

Well that's ok too, everyone is different. I hope you find what you're looking for soon.

It is aggravating, but I got married because everyone else was, siblings, friends, significant other at the time Kaye's down the expectation, we had to get married, I thought there was something wrong with me that I wasn't ready, and so we married. We were never happy, and most of the friends and family that we're getting married were having problems or divorced when we split. Never look for someone for marriage oppurtunities, think instead if it's someone you love and will let you grow. Everyone changes. Be glad that you aren't in a bad relationship, which is worse than none at all, be patient and open.

I understand your words and they apply - just I think differently - I don't want to get married ASAP - I want to find love.

In regards to your last sentence - the way I look at it is that to have something of nothing is to better then to have nothing.

ok thanks - it was hard for me to understand that you wrote but I think I understood enough

Hey, I'm really glad you posted this because it is so true! Being from an Indian family, our parents want their daughters to get married as soon as possible because they think the older they get, no one will want to marry them. The thing is, many women nowadays are busy studying or building themselves to worry about a guy. Not only that, many of them may not have found the right person. And you are absolutely correct. We do write our own destinies!
