I'M GETTING MARRIED...............!!!!!!!!!!!

to the wrong person. It just seemed like the practical thing to do. We were living together. She was a good woman. She was committed to making me happy. All of my friends were getting married. My parents  worried that I'm going to end up alone. I'm almost 40. I want children. I guess the CLOCK doesn't just tick for women.

We met at work. I was with someone else at the time. We became friends. After I broke up with my ex, we started dating. On our first date, she told me how she felt. I already knew. She'd been waiting for her turn. Our relationship progressed pretty fast. We went from; dating, to being committed, to living together. I realized that she was trying to be THAT woman. I allowed her to feel like she was. She cooked for me. She kept the house immaculate. If I wanted to hang out with the fellas, she was always cool. The subject of marriage often came up. I did want to be married someday. My parents have been married for over 30 years. I wanted that for myself. I actually thought I'd be married with a couple of kids by now. I was feeling some pressure. My cousin text me that my ex was getting married. It shouldn't have mattered, but it did. I couldn't let it go. A couple of months later, I was engaged. I'm currently planning my wedding. She couldn't be happier. Even though she knows. By the time you read this post, I might be married. Life is about choices. There are plenty of people who marry for the wrong reasons. I'm not. Marriage isn't always about love. I'm getting married so I won't have to be  "STILL SINGLE"
