I will never understand what their problem and obsession with single ladies or people who decide not to have kids is. And like you rightly said, marriage is not a guarantee that your life will be a bed of roses.

Are you married too? Because I could see that you are backing up someone who is already in a marriage but talking down on marriage.

I pray you read this too. Please do not blame anybody. Some get it early, some maybe late. Your parents and maybe religious leader thought too was good. Some rush in and rush out, but in all things, give thanks to God.

God have a purpose for you, His thoughts for you are good and lead to expected end (sounding religious right? But is the truth). I don't know your name nor have seen you, but be positive and thankful.

Can we talk?

I hate it. I’m 41, never married, no kids.

I’ve been close…twice. But ended both relationships when they were caught cheating.

I’ve dated several men since then, most older than me, and they seemed to be in no hurry to even be in a committed relationship. Which is crazy to me that these men are mid-40s and still trying to hangout with the guys and party. I met a whole guy group of friends in Houston 2 years ago…all single, all 36–45 years old. They were throwing house parties during the quarantine…parties!! ��

When I was in grade school, I was told to get a degree, don’t get pregnant, just enjoy being single, make friends, keep dating, and the right man will find you.

Now that I have two degrees, traveled the world, developed hobbies, and avoided pregnancy…my doctors are telling me to just be a single mom because I’m running out of eggs as I type this message. �

I beat teenage pregnancy to be considering single motherhood at 41. �

Damn you, parents, counselors, pastors, and everyone who gave me that advice. I can’t get that time (or my eggs) back. I hate being single at this age!! ��

Most of you have bad character and manners all the while thinking youre "Good girls"
Dont use academics of career as excuse. If youre even averagely fine there would have been men around you who might have asked you out or be friends with you. If guys know a good girl they always always recommend them to their other male friends.
So its either your character is bad and nobody tells you maybe because of your bad reaction when they do.
or
You wasted your opportunities when they came earlier in life in your late 20s, 30s till now.

I dont pity women like you as most of your type used, ignored and ridiculed good men God sent your way in your hay days

I see many ladies like you everyday and I wonder how they feel.

The worst here is that you didn't see any fault or blame yourself for f^cking around and "enjoying" yourself when you were supposed to accept one of the numerous suitors that wanted your hand in marriage at your prime age. You were probably gallivanting from one night club to the other with different guys who would never consider you decent as a wife material when they want to make their decisions.

You have learnt your lessons though very late already.

Well, your last resort now is to run to God. There is nothing He cannot perfect!

I understand how frustrating it could be but the advises wasn't a bad one.... The life style and the choice of friends actually is the greatest determinant of marriage... Keeping those not ready to settle down or those not sincere enough to let you know who you really are can actually leads to failed relationships.... A review of choices and standard should be your priority not the advises received

This is completely not a choice issue, or quoting holy scriptures or subtly insulting my parents.

The reality is, old age isn't fair to single people both men and women. That's the reality in our society today , whether they can live with or without a partner to be happy is not my assertion.
That is untrue especially in today's world. Anyone can save up to live out there old age in style. While people are busy spending on raising kids, a single person can invest in a future that ensures he/she is well taken care of. undecided

I suggest you brush up on reality rather than continue to swallow lies that were fed you by the ignorant folks before you. undecided

Believe in God and he will make you get your own man and kids. I know of a sister in my former church that got married at 45 and went on to have 4 kids who are all grown up now. I know another that had her first child at 52yrs normal delivery. These are the works of God and if you can only believe he will do yours too. Do not listen to naysayers and scoffers on this forum for they are carnal men and cannot understand how God works.

Trust me, it ends in regrets



You just be on social media forming artificial happiness

Marriage favours the women. It's their retirement package.

For men, they get billed constantly for one petty thing or the other. They grow grey hair due to constant nagging.

Standards, parents expectations.

There’s nothing wrong in being a single mother, so I’d suggest it. I know an aunt who never got married. When she hit 4th floor, my grandma advised her to have one or two children but she refused. Today she’s about 76, lonely,
ashamed
, miserable and hardly visits home. So please, have a child or two.

Ashamed of what?

It’s so sad that a lot of people are going to fall into this thread advising and trolling women in a demeaning way, due to your story.

It’s pathetic you are doing Mr Peter Ade…., Most likely from ifetedo, oyo state or ekiti state, whichever of this profile is banked on the internet. I mean with your most likely failed blogging career…..

Going through your profile, you are man assuming to be a woman in order to stir the workings of all these sore woman haters, churning out vile and ugly comments. First off, you are not a woman, you are male COWard, a coward at that with no balls.

2. if you are a woman and you are single at over 30, own that shitt, Life continues, adopt kids. They are humans, find love in your place of religion, supermarket, dating sites and live the life out of your life.


You are pathetic op and go find a job or something, trolling even makes you more distasteful


*spits*
