I think people use ‘it’ to insult spinsters but in a normal situation, they would try not to mention it. However for bachelors sad

I am a 37 year old bachelor and I must confess that never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine that someday I would be desperate to get married. When I was in my twenties, I used to hear of desperation amongst ladies to get married but I never clearly understood the feeling. I felt it was a "lady thing" until I got to the age of 34yrs. One day I was in my bedroom suddenly I felt the rush of emotions come upon me so strongly that all of a sudden started making me feel desperate for marriage. By the following year the desperate feeling became like torture and the loneliness was so depressing. I could no longer stand it when I attended weddings to see other young couples getting married. I could no longer stand it when I hear people discussing marriage around me.

I became like an object of fun in the office when they would call me "the oldest bachelor". I'm telling you, the feeling is not funny at all. Even when people innocently ask "Hey, why are you not yet married?" or "what are u waiting for?" It's a question that I just can't take emotionally. Though I'm doing my best to tie the knot soon but I must confess that it is a feeling that I don't even wish my enemies to have.

If me as a guy could be feeling like this, I can just imagine what single ladies of marriageable age are passing through emotionally.
For those of you reading my post, it is my prayer that you all get married at the right time and age so that you don't have to pass through the same emotional trauma of loneliness and desperation to get married.
EndTime Rush.

This is awesome. Bros abeg wetin u dey drink? cool

Nothing i drink oo my Brother... Have been married for 8 years and got separated, separation has given me so much room for a deep reflection and retrospect... When i see people going into the contract of marriage for the wrong reasons i feel very bad... I have two kids out of my marriage, Bro it is better to remain single and receive all the insults in the world than going into a marriage for the wrong reason.. Nothing is killing me so fast today than seeing my beautiful kids growing without both parents living under the same roof. The fact that i will wake up every morning and no longer getting them ready for school, driving them to school, pick them up when i have time, do their home work together breaks me down but i am happy being alone, it could have been worse.

The OP needs to take a chill Pepsi big bottle and truly figure out what he really wants out of marriage and most importantly find a woman who shares the same life value with him...

Have you Bleeped Kim K yet? what about Halle Berry and Nicki Minaj? if your answer is NO then why on earth are you thinking of marriage? Why should a Footlose Bachelor Like you be craving marriage, while Married men are out there wishing they could go back to Bachelorhood.

Marriage does not cure loneliness, if that is the only reason for getting married then take a chill Pepsi big bottle and relax because many are married and still lonely.. Secondly, what people say or think about you at 37 should not be your business, neither should it force you to get married... Bro i simply want you marry because you understand the purpose of the contract called marriage.. "Solitude is a gift".
easier said than done. I fully understand him trust me. forget all these things u hear during singles programs. When the real emotion sets in on one of ur lonely days, body go tell u

Re: The Travails Of Marrying Late by luvablesam(m): 9:39pm On Dec 22, 2015
Early marriage is cool if you find the right person at the right time for both u n ur future kids....

When a parent is still young when d kids turn teens then they have more like an older sibling in u(their parent). Their wrong choices in life will be minimal and u will be like a cool uncle on visiting days(to their school) rather than an overbearing parent.

Remember however, to draw a line in terms of playing n discipline

Depends on your priorities... And your nature,..
If you place career ahead of marriage, then nothing like loneliness adrenaline or the likes descending on you. You wont even have time to attend weddings if you have a career going on well,


Depends on your priorities...

There is no point marrying late. It would feel so good if I was 50 and my first child already 25.

I have seen people take the whole time in the world and still end up in divorce court. The point is, do what you think is best for you. The challenges you face as a young bride/ groom is the same challenges an old bride/ groom will face. Women have a larger pool of men to choose from when they are younger not when their youthful hue is already drying up. You choose your man when you are in the position to choose not when you are beginning to appear like the leftover goods after morning market.


If you choose to remain single for a longer period, let it be for the right reasons, the fact the you are yet to find your soul mate based on plausible criteria or the fact that you have no interest at all. If your criteria to choose a partner is out of this world and that is why you are single, then the person is on a really long thing .


There is nothing wrong with early marriage, there is also nothing wrong with late marriage as long as you are in whichever end for the right reasons.
God bless you

if you get married cause of pressure or what people are saying then you may end up a sad married man... remember people will talk and pressure you to marry but the challenges in that marriage will be borne solely by you none of those pressurizing you will be there and they won't be living with you.

So many people cause of age and pressure have rushed into marriage, married for the wrong reasons and want to rush out of the marriage.

Finally, its only in Nigeria that people make a big thing out of marriage. Every one mustn't get married, marriage is not for everyone, you can be single and still live a fulfilled life.

Marriage is not compulsory.

@OP.
Marriage is not something you do because others are doing it or because you're getting old. I'm obviously older than you, but until I achieve all my dreams on earth, I have no plan for marriage. I have plans bigger than marriage and it's fruition is what is really giving me concern, not marriage.

As long as I succeed my goal of changing the face of education in Africa, I wouldn't mind marrying at 50, because I wouldn't marry cause of children, but to retire to happiness. Just 1 child is all I'll need or none at all. I have no interest bringing someone else to suffer in this cruel world of competition, disease, injustice, crime, wickedness, corruption, greed, and sheer evil.
