Single At 38: There Is Nothing Wrong With Me
I'm 38 years old and I am single. I have never been married and I do not have any children. I am choosing my freedom.
When I was 35, I began to take a hard look at m relationship life. What I saw was this: I was 35, single, and I was the only common thread in every relationship I’d ever had. I also saw that I’d consistently chosen men who verbally abused me.
This is what I saw: I saw a woman who actually stood up for herself, three relationships ago. When I finally got that I didn’t want to be with a man who constantly yelled or punched holes in the wall, it was me who decided to leave.
And when my last ex — yeah, that “nice” one — finally got that he didn’t want to marry me and began to mistreat me, kicking me out of the house while drunk in the middle of the night because he was mad at me, saying he was saving for an engagement ring but also that two dates a month with me was too many, tweeting and changing his Facebook status while out but not calling or texting to say he wasn’t coming home — I stood up for myself again.
I’m just going to come out and say it: I’m 38 years old and I am single. I have never been married and I do not have any children. I am choosing my freedom and there is nothing wrong here. In fact, everything is exactly how it is supposed to be. And that makes me happy — and free.
