Boomer men like myself looked abroad for more traditional relationships.

I'm a Cali boy. Found me a traditional woman from the hollers of backwoods Virginia.

Kinda felt like 'looking abroad' at the time ;-)

Why is a woman considered a competitor just because they get an education?

Both of my Millenial daughters are happily married. But I’ve got to admit, I am happy that they got their educations and started careers first. Marriage is nowhere near as stable as it used to be, and if the worst happens I want to know that they’ll be able to provide for themselves.

Women initiate 80% of divorces. A woman who knows that the family-court will favor her, and knows that she will come out OK, is more likely to pull the trigger on divorce.

A competitor is an evaluation of ones perspective of another.

If it acts like a duck . . .

If your significant other stands next to you and unzips their fly, well . . .

Please help, what is it that is wrong with the sentence that makes you think her degree was not in English?

You do realize this is a transcript of a call? She didn’t write it.

I just have one, and she doesn’t complain nearly as much as the guys around here seem to be doing.

That’s when you’re still amiable to working out problems with someone.

Obviously English wasn't one of her degrees.

i know the English wasn't correct, but we all know what she was trying to say.

Having married for the only time in my life at age 60 to a woman who was 35 (her only marriage too), i can identify with this statement.

Both my wife and i struggle with this every day. It's probably much harder for us than it would be for those in their 20's who can still bend a bit, because we are both at an age where we know what works, and what doesn't work for each of us.

Hint: What works for her doesn't work for me, and visa versa.

Yes, they can be difficult to train at that age.

Oh, that’s because you’re probably just a big ‘ol softy.

I have three degrees. Got the first two, BS and Masters. Then I quit work once I gave birth to my son. I got my third to get back into the job market once he was in high school.

I would not trade that time raising our son, home room mom, den Mom, Little League, etc for all the money or materialistic crap in the world. I can’t imagine the regrets this person must feel. She is warning others that there is no replacement for a family, children and a loving, wonderful husband.

It doesn’t just happen. It takes hard work, respect, compromise and Faith, none of which is in abundance at a youthful age when femnazis are brainwashing everyone.

I have found that my worst coworkers tend to be older women with no husbands and no children. They are just bitter and unhappy. Their feminism is a poor comfort at night.

I'm also 38, female, single, never married, never wanted to be married, and quite content with my life.

She's 50 now, she probably said the same thing you just said when she was 38. Just saying...

Interesting, this.

I’m happily married to my second wife after loosing the first one to cancer. I married the second wife when she was in her late 40s. She had never been married. She experienced each and every thing mentioned in this article. Actually she did want a partner, but she was cursed with being successful and very smart (the two are not necessariy correlated - see Moochelle and the Hillabeast). As such, men avoided her. I did not, and was amply rewarded. Why men avoided an intelligent attractive woman is beyond me.

We are both very happy after over 12 years of marriage and both of us are very glad we have each other for support for all thing involved with life.

I pity the feminists (radical ones, that is) for so many reasons.
But, that’s their probem, not ours.

And I am very happy for you for your children and your husband. I have nothing against marriage; my parents have been married over 50 years and my sister over 20. I have nothing against children; I have three nephews and nieces who I'm crazy about. I have nothing against women who are stay-at-home moms; on the contrary I have nothing but respect who choose to do that. All I'm saying is that those things are not for everyone. And I freely admit that the choices I've made for my life are not for everyone either. But I'm not trying to force them on anyone.

I had two, they were litter mates. I lost the male about three years ago.

LOL! I always find it amusing when guys like you claim that I need to partner up with guys like you in order for my life to be complete. No lack of ego on your part, is there?
