15 years. Basically ignore most things that he does. Talk little and work opposite shifts if possible. Marriage can last a really long time if you can achieve these goals.
Thats what the market is like here in t-town; the older my 30-40ish single men/women friends become; the more potent the market becomes; from what they are telling me.....
I'm single and it is hard.
They're either married or gay. And if they're not gay, they've just broken up with the most wonderful woman in the world, or they've just broken up with a ***** who looks exactly like me. They're in transition from a monogamous relationship and they need more space. Or they're tired of space, but they just can't commit. Or they want to commit, but they're afraid to get close. They want to get close, you don't want to get near them.

I would imagine it would be much harder these days to be single and dating..... AND EXPENSIVE:funn: ....
Lets hear from you single folks!!!!!

At this point in my life, I would have to find someone who could give me my alone time (and would, by default, appreciate his independence.)
My married friends give me a lot of peace about being single. I joke about that, but I really have a lot of respect for them. Having never been married (or shacked up or whatever) I don't really get lonely. I'm not an expensive sort of girl, so I don't miss the double income thing. I don't have a lot of fights with anyone, and I'm free to do what I darned well please. I still think that having a family would be wonderful (I get a little jealous when it comes to cute little babies and their wonderful daddies,) but if it never happens I still have a rich, full life.
Life can just be hard, and from where I sit it doesn't seem easier with two people instead of one...
