It used to be the natural order of things. Everyone these days has different priorities. There is a reason for everything.

An o'l mate from the sixties who is still a bachelor, he is so set in his ways that no woman will live with him, only for a very short time,  i think his main problem he treated women like pieces of meat , as young guys at the time, we were envious of all the girls he had, but we were the lucky ones to have long term relationship aka marriage, he will end up a very lonely man. ( he is in his sixties now) We hav'nt seen him for years as he has nothing in common any more with any of us.

I met my husband after having been married twice previously, he had always been single, never even lived with a woman, he was 52, we met in Sydney where we both worked, I thought he had an arrogant attitude and didn't care much for him, until after a few years I learned the arrogance was a barricade and he was very shy, we are both happier than we have ever been, I've been blessed to meet my single 52 (at the time) husband.

I personally think it is good that an individual knows and realizes what are the priorities in their life, and the definite difference between living to just do for yourself versus living life to be there for everyone else in your life. Family takes commitment of one's self, and that means giving up that single lifestyle...and a person should probably only enter into that when they're ready for it! Look at how many people try to take on careers that are best suited for a single person, while they are trying to live the family way of life also...kids and spouses end up with someone they grow up or older with while mostly knowing them as a voice over the phone. (No one is really happy having a parent or spouse that is never there!) Has anyone ever heard the resentment of someone who grew up as a child like that? I have, it is even sad to envision the pain a person conveys of having experienced it throughout their whole childhood...it's like they have a feeling of abandonement.

Soul mates can be allusive in times like ours.
