Question

Nope, not in the least. I was married at 38, and enjoyed my single life to the fullest. I only got married because I was fully ready to be married and to devote myself to my partner.

I never felt like that, I had tons of fun when I was single!

My husband and I both continue to enjoy life to its fullest...

Answer 7

No, I never worried, because I knew we made the right choice. We were mature, dated long enough to make sure - our values, characters, ethnicity, religion - the core things were very compatible, yet we were different enough to spark and make things fun.

And here we are, just celebrated 19 years together - and it's more loving, more special, and just as fun and lustful!

It's all in choosing the right spouse!

Answer 8

if you'd met the right guy you wouldn't ask this.

you should be happy that its only one man and trust that he wont leave you.

Answer 9

I'm forty.  I've already been with everyone else.

J/K, but really.  I'm done with all that and the "sowing of the wild oats" thing is highly overrated compared to finding someone you actually want to spend the rest of your days with.

I don't know about the kid thing (I don't want any and would likely consider being saddled with one or more as the complete ruination of any years of my life, best or not) but I love the idea of being my fiance's partner in life.  Maybe it's because I'm older and have BTDT, but I'm happy, not petrified in the least.

Answer 10

I am getting married in October of next year.

I did not save myself for him and nor him for me. We have been there done that in the past and are looking forward to a happy future together.

When I am in a relationship with someone I give everything I have to give...emotionally, physically, ect. I am not afraid of losing what I have later because I am trying to live in the now. I fully enjoy being with him and I don't ever plan to leave so I have no doubt that in 10 years we will still be happy.

Answer 11

Me and my fiance dated for one year before we were officially a couple. We both dated many others and all I ever thought about was him. I love him soo much I am ok with only being with him for the rest of my life :' ) (tear)

Answer 12

Never. My advice is this, if you are having these worries now, it is not the time for you get married.  

Answer 13

No. If I was that worried, I wouldn't have gotten married.

Answer 14

That's why I sowed my wild oats in college and knew that when I met my husband that we could live an exciting and wonderful life together.

Don't get married young and you'll have no regrets!

Answer 15

no. i'm marrying him because I don't want to be with anyone else..

if i was worrying about "wasting my best years" then very simply, I clearly wouldn't be ready to be married.

I'm looking forward to spending my best years with someone I truly love and want to build those memories with.  

Answer 16

Im not actually married or engaged im only 15!

But i dont want to be eathier because you dont do anything different when your married to when your not.

And i am actually scared that if im married ill never be able to go with anyone else!!

Answer 17

Quite Honestly Poppet,

I am past that Petrified Stage,

I have been so used to being my own boss

That I don't even get bored with my own company any more.  [ quite sad really isn't it?]

Answer 18

Not at all!

So many people ask "how do you know it is right?" or "why get together with someone when you are still young" when my thought is why wait.

I consider myself lucky to have found someone who makes me happy when I still have so much life left :)
