To: I am 52 years old. I never had a boyfriend.
Me: If you are single and happy in the lifestyle you have chosen for yourself, what could possibly be wrong with that. Having a boyfriend, getting pregnant, getting married, having kids, being separated and divorced, ending up with very little after a marriage breakdown, many different partners, trying to find the right one for you – really who wants that…….
I chose the rocky road of relationships and 2 marriages. In hindsight, if I had my life as you have had yours and paid for whatever s** I had, I would probably have had a much better life, when I had only myself to consider – I could have saved more, bought my own home early in life, got a decent car, gone on holidays whenever I wanted, changed jobs whenever I wanted, because I was not supporting a wife or family (I’m a guy) and done much more with my life, just self serving myself and my habits.
Good for you. Carry on as you are and be proud of what you have achieved for yourself.
