When I was taking my kids to their grandpa few days ago to spend the remainder of their holidays I was so happy! Coupled with the fact that my wife was also traveling the following day, my joy knew no bounds. Finally the peace and freedom I craved was here!

This weekend my home didn’t feel happy! It was sad and lonely. I felt cold loneliness throughout. I tried everything I could to distract myself but I miss my family so bad!

I miss our little quarrels, our eventual understanding and acceptance of each other using truce keeping.

I miss their mum badly. This made me wonder? How do older bachelors cope in this very lonely world? Una dey try o... respect.
you are a weak man

I beg to differ sir!

Merely seeing friends/family that are married then Bachelors know what they are missing
I have a very close friend who is a 43 year old bachelor and he has turned my kids to his kids...

Dude calls me way ahead of time to discuss how he would celebrate my kid’s birthday (without asking for his help o)

We (Me and wife) tried hooking him up a lot of times but he was very choosy. The last girl we hooked him up with (That appeared to be perfect. 24 year old Young lawyer Who just finished law college) he said she had incision at her back and that was it...

He confided in me sometime ago that he envies me a lot, and that he knows something is missing in his life, which is having a family.

Reason he had been treating my family like his.

Truth is: Bachelor’s know they are lonely, and they miss having a family.

Problem here is you are assuming for everyone. Not everyone needs or desires the companionship you're talking about. Some people want to be alone.

Nigerian married people constantly talking nonsense.

It's not a must to own something and lose it before you realize what you've lost. Sometimes we just feel some kind of emptiness inside of us and we know that we're missing something.

To some, that feeling doesn't linger, to others it lingers and goes deeper until they begin the search for the fulfillment of their cravings. We're just wired like that, no matter how we try to hide it.

See you fuelling the fire.

Most single people (men & women) feel 'lonely' when their inner clock tells them it is 'time' to marry.

What curbs that loneliness for most is complete dedication to the service of God e.g. Reverend Fathers/Mother's etc etc.

Marrying the wrong person is another set of problems though; more complex than the loneliness of singleness.

Then it becomes jumping from frying pan to fire.

;DTruth be told...
This marriage thing is not for everybody o
The society would want to make you look like if you are not married you are having a medical,mental or even spiritual problem like we see in this part of the world,but that's not always the case,there are some reasons why some persons may decide not to marry;
1.Insecurity concerning the other gender
2.Wrong philosophy about the other gender
3.Previous heartbreak and past experiences
4.The issue of religious celibacy
5.Addiction to work,purpose and pursuit of vision which may take a toll on the person if such a person didn't put a relationship in the picture
6.Excessive pressure which produces a counter reaction

But anyways marriage is never biblically compulsory but optionated,it is never a must one would marry,if you can be happy staying alone and single then go ahead,but if you are going to find yourself misbehaving better go and marry.

My humble submission

At what age...

Is it when im 41

It's never too late to do the right thing.
Return back to God genuinely in total repentance and let Him fix your life.
Similarly, ask Him the source of your problem in your fasting and prayer time and all shall be revealed to you.
Who can do it best as the Creator?

He will give u the best and the remaining years of your life shall be filled with joy and peace.

So, let your age move you back to God and not force u to human alternatives.

Your testimony shall lift souls if you follow the instructions. You can keep in touch if u want.

This lad is trying to guilt trip older bachelors into marriage lol. Don't fall for it. Only get married because you want to get married. Not because of loneliness or what society says. It's just crazy that all Nigerians talk about is marriage, kids and church/mosque. No social activities outside those things.

. My younger friend is 45 never married and not missed one bit of fun, he's been rich for over 20 years and obviously traveled more than you or all those that support you. See if you go and ask Don Jazzy in private if he's lonely his true answer might confuse you. Pls there's farrrrrr more to life than that your tiny happy family, my dear some people are preparing for the one-way Mars trip as we are typing so you see is about your background, your exposure. I can bet you have very low ambition like most black people.
Just a genuinely awesome comment, boss, and I agree with everything except the emboldened. Some people do have low ambitions and that's perfectly fine, as far as I'm concerned. Not everyone is cut out for high ambitious pursuits, and some just think is best for their mental health if they lead a simple life.

You just confirmed what the op wrote. No need for surrogacy. Don't hire nannies or caregivers.

What does the older bachelor (in op's voice) need a child for? cheesy

Op, you sef mind yourself. Is it your bachelorship? sad
So you are of the mind that bachelors are all selfish beings who isolate themselves from humanity in some way?

Nothing wrong with a bachelor adopting kids and raising them as his own. After all he/she is not heartless and has love to give to those who need it. undecided
