Women over 35: How would you feel about a guy you really liked but he told you he never wanted to get (re)married?
Some people like the idea of long term relationships but don't want to have anything to do with marriage either because of their past marriage or they just don't believe in marriage.
Your thoughts?

I think it's understandable that most people over the age of thirty are going to be carrying a lot of baggage from previous relationships, therefore you'd have to respect his feelings if you wanted to be with him but be aware that he may have commitment issues.

Thanks for answering. I agree, some may have commitment issues but some may not believe in the institution of marriage or may not want to try to replace a deceased wife. Each situation is different. Some people, regardless of situation will want the tradition of marriage regardless.

Yes, I have read about men not wanting to replace a deceased wife....that's certainly going to be a tricky one if he was married to someone he adored when she died. It's not the same type of closure as splitting because of incompatability....like you say, each situation is different.

If you want the same thing, that's fine. If you don't, find someone else who wants the same thing with you.

How do you feel about it? That applied generally. Would you be ok with a long, satisfying relationship or would you feel something is missing if you were not married?

I would feel like he has just not found the right woman to fall in love with or he is just too set in his ways, especially if he is older. I am good friends with a guy like that now. He has been engaged before, but never married. He is also a very neat and clean person. It's ironic though because I think he would make a great husband. Also, I feel like I would be more comfortable around him and probably would just dismiss the idea of the possibility of ever being married to him. I would just assume a friendship with him.

Thank you for your answer. That is an interesting scenario. Maybe he is one like you mentioned and feels he has not found the right person yet.

Say you get it can become a mess, but you would need some sort of Personal commitment if you were going to invest in this.

I can understand the point of view that no one wants to invest in something without some guarantee of a return on the investment. But if married couples divorce at a rate of over 50% for the first marriage and 90% likelihood for a second marriage, is that any more of a guarantee?

A "marriage" reenforces a bogus recognition of clergy or a "justice of the peace" to perform a religious ritual or civil ceremony at the beginning.
It enriches lawyers with a property management job during the long term, with a hefty dissolution FEE upon...termination at divorce :(
