make total peace with the liklihood i'm never going to get married

There are worse things in life than being unmarried. Like being married to a complete asshole. It has made me into a stronger individual because of the things I have had to learn. I can handle my finances, I’ve purchased a home, purchased four cars and maintained them (change a tire, fluids etc.), raised three children, and cared for many others. I even had a bit of fun along the way. Overall, not too shabby.

Once in a while, the subject will arise; via my mom. But she has been married five times and still on the manhunt. So to each his own. It’s a matter of choice.
