Actually two of my friends, married each other. A beautiful couple. The sort that you just look at and say, "Yep, they deserve each other."

I'm happy for them, and I try not to be envious, but I admit I get those pangs of want that sort of life, to be with someone who wants you and finds you attractive and sexy. I just don't think that's in the cards for me though, and I just stay focused on being happy as I am, which by and large seems to be working.

But it's hard sometimes...

I know the feeling-I am so behind my peers in a lot of things.

Look at it this way. In 5-20 years, they will all be divorced, and you can be the one they envy.

(Yes, I know *some* ppl make it, but it's rare and getting rarer.)

Some marry only to be left with nothing, and some work on their life first only to have everything and no one to share with.

I know what you mean though, man my life has women in it, and I am fairly content for now but all my buddies are getting married, having kids, on the property ladder. In 10 years I don't want to be like that creepy Fonz-like uncle to their kids.

I know how you feel.I have had to watch 3 younger siblings get married and numerous cousins and while I did feel genuinely happy for them,I couldn't help but wonder if it just wasn't meant to happen for me.On the flip side I think I would be very uncomfortable with all of the social expectations that go with being part of a wedding ceremony.

Heh, yeah. When one of my cousins got married she and her fiance seemed the storybook type. They lived together for almost 10 years before getting married so everyone figured they'd stay married for good -- but 7 years later they got divorced. And now, it's 10 years after that and neither one of them has remarried. So it goes to show you that you never know and can't really predict this stuff on how things look on the surface.
