A lot of women can’t find guys to offer to marry them.

And then the problem is finding a guy who offers to marry you AND who is worth marrying. At 18 I married someone much older because I wanted to be a wife and a mom and there just aren't any actual 'men' closer to my age. It's been five years and it's been great.

At the same time, I look at most women and wonder at the paradox of their existence in that they say they want a 'real man' but then they also want their independence, they want a career, they want professional recognition, and then, when it's convenient, then maybe they can bother being a wife and maybe even a mom.

It just doesn't work that way. At least it doesn't work well.

I committed to being a wife and mom and I'm happy! Yet I also lost all of my friends who are still in college racking up huge debts so they can work to pay off those debts and maybe have a life someday.

Yeah, that’s exactly the paradox. Good for you.

I believe women have been told “you can be god” and you must not deny yourself anything.

“At 18 I married someone much older “

How much of a difference in age? At 18 what seemed “old” to me turned out to be not quite so much.

You appear to have wisdom beyond your years, and your guy is a lucky man!

You are wise beyond your years. That is exactly the problem with so many women these days. I cannot tell you how many business professional women I've met the last few years who are in their 40's and early 50's that have never been married, have no children, have a "great career" and have traveled the world but are now desperate to find not just "Mr. Right" but "Mr. Right NOW!"

My wife and I of 28 years separated last year for awhile, and it appeared we were destined for divorce court. When it looked to be a certainty, I removed my wedding ring. Funny how many women in their 40's to 50's suddenly became interested in a 52 year old, reasonably good looking and fairly well to do male business executive.

So glad our divorce didn't happen and we re-committed ourselves to making our marriage work. Sure alot of those 40-50'ish year old women area often quite nice looking -- but their desperation to get with someone, ANYONE shows and frankly some of 'em just ain't right in the head.
