I want to get married
I am over 30 and a single mother. I have never been married and want to be. It seems that all the men i date are never really who I want.
They have either been to prison,rehab,or divorced two or three times. I dont want thoes kinds of men in my life because I have children. I have been dating somebody who has great qualities except he is younger than me and had a really bad relationship and because of that never wants to get married but he doesnt want me to leave either. What do I do now? I dont want to spend the rest of my life just being somebodys girlfriend.

Why is it so important to you to get married? If you care more about the title and a piece of paper than you do about a good committed relationship then something is wrong because that's essentially what a marriage is. What do you think is actually going to change in your life if you get married? Most women want to get married and the urge gets stronger the older they get, but if you're willing to sacrifice a good relationship for a title, you're missing the point. If getting married is more important to you then the person you're with, then just do what many people do and get a mail order husband from another country. But if you really care about the person you are dating and want to continue in the relationship just let him know that you are not the woman he dated in his previous relationship and you want to know that he can separate his past from what the two of you currently have. Then let him know that marriage means something to you and one day you hope that he'd feel he'd want to take that step with you. If he's set on never getting married then just ask yourself if you want to end the relationship over it or if it doesn't matter as much as how happy you are when you're with him. But recognize that by constantly shopping for marriage and putting it a priority over any potential relationship, you may not only find yourself unmarried but single as well.
