DO NOT APOLOGIZE! This is confirmation for me. Sometimes I think I'm alone in my feelings about marriage. And to your point, I've had women complain in one breath and then judge me in the next.

Happiness and fulfillment are a priority for me. I am not about to hitch a wagon to someone else for the ring and a ceremony I can put on YouTube. I have seriously thought about having an " I ain't gettin' married" party. Make an announcement and let them eat cake.
