I’m still single due to a lengthy illness. I will be a confirmed bachelor myself soon if my illness still persists and leaves me incapable of dealing with a relationship the way a healthy person could. I’m hoping you’d answer the following query of mine.
Under what circumstances you’d decided not to get married and have family? Any regrets so far or is it alright to be alone at your age? What does it feel like to be single at an older age? How do you spend your life?
29 yrs old male here. I haven't gotten married because the divorce rate is 50%. That means I have any marriage I got into with an American chick would have a 50% chance of failure. It's ridiculous to get married with those odds.
Being a confirmed bachelor is better than being a divorced male.
I am a confirmed bachelorette. I will never get married because I don't believe a piece of paper is necessary to be with someone, and lifetime monogamy with one man is not appealing to me. I also have a huge fear of complacency in relationships and not being able to get out.
I have no regrets because I know myself well enough to know I would not be a subtle mother or wife. I have known this all my life. I spend my life working and getting my masters degree. Eventually I want to travel a lot and have the ability to pick up and move at the drop of a hat for work or just because I feel like it.

So you're living your life afraid to do anything based on the failures of other people's relationships? Good job.

i thought "confirmed bachelor" meant you were gay
like saying you're 'light in the loafers' or you 'putt from the rough'
Ive been in relationships since I was an adult, with the notion that life was meant to be shared with someone in order to be happy (boy was I wrong) After my divorce, I elected to remain single and focus primarily on myself; it was the best move I ever made in my life. Since then, my career/business has blossomed (I'm set to retire by 40) my health/fitness has never been better (competing in marathons/triathlons) I travel the world, I date/bang whomever I want (without commitment) but above all, I have ample time to go fishing
There's absolutely nothing a woman can offer me to improve my life (other than children) which I will want in the future, but I will cross that bridge when I get there.
Bachelor life is great; I feel like im a teenager (but with money) no drama, no stress.
I struggle a bit dating, so for me, being a bachelor gets lonely for long stretches of time. It is different for guys who date and have short term flings. Guys that can do that don't mind being a bachelor as much.
But going 3-4 months without a date gets kind of lonely, especially when you are trying.
I don't regret not having a kid. I'm not certain how good of a parent/LTR partner I would be.
But I could see myself in a LTR and being satisfied with that. For me, that is much easier said then done.

This is interesting. I know married women who travel the world annually (on their own), compete in marathons and triathlons, and are at the peak of their careers. They bang the one person they want to be banging. And they have ample time to go hiking. Life is good.
