I am a single and very intelligent 37 year old woman and I am happy with my marital status. I like being independent and free I also like my quiet time. I adopted two kids 7 years ago. I am the adventurous type of woman though, I like to travel and explore new things. I am also very ambitious, I am working towards opening my own non-profit homeless shelter. I currently have a bf who is amazing and who I adore tremedously. He's been hinting lately that he wants to get married. Honestly speaking this idea does not even appeal to me. Im very happy with my life. Unfortunately there is this stereotype that single women are unhappy and bitter but on the contrary, it’s not like that for me, I do not hate men at all I just don’t fancy spending my life with one and giving up on my independance.I really don’t see what marriage can offer me that I do not have already. I look around at my friends who are married and they all seem so miserable.I have had a fair share of boyfriends all of them nice guys but somehow when the relationship was getting serious I would bail out because I knew sooner or later they would ask me to marry them. Now is it normal to be my age and feel this way? To not even have an interest in getting married?

    You're independent, embrace it, it's a great thing. Don't let people pressure you into going into something that you don't even want to enter.
