I've never been married and I probably never will be. I can't imagine anyone wanting to live with me. I'm extremely independent, but possessive and sometimes jealous. I need at least 2 hours of me time and then I can devote attention to someone else. Nobody can live with that. Plus he's got to be practically perfect.

I've never met a guy who really knocked me on my backside. I think if I did, I'd be willing to make changes. Living by yourself causes you to be more self centered, because there's no one there you have to think about.
I think that most relationships fail because both sides expect too much of the other person. We have been programmed by Hollywood that your mate should make you happy. If you're not a happy person to begin with, how do you expect your mate to make you happy? We should think about what we have to offer, what we can contribute, and put the other person first. People get married and say, "Well I've done that, I can relax now". Marriage requires constant work and attention to keep it going. You're taking 2 people from different backgrounds and putting them together. It's not going to be problem free and you can't go into it with the thought that, "well if it doesn't work out, i'll get a divorce". I'm sure those who have been married for a long time will agree with me.
