Is it bad that 42 year old women is still not married?

Question

WindAtMyBack · Accepted Answer

No. Some people never get married. Nothing wrong with that. I know several people my age who have never been married. Sure, they are a minority, but a significant minority.

Of the people I know who never married, some were players and didn't want to get married. Some weren't players but just didn't want to marry for whatever reason. Some were bad at the dating game. Some just had bad luck. Some didn't put any effort into it.

There are plenty of reasons. But there is nothing inherently wrong with being unmarried. Many people prefer it that way.

Bad in what way? People will still socialize with her like a normal person and she can have friends, etc.
If she wanted to have kids and doesn't already then that would be bad biologically, but if she isn't wanting to have kids then she shouldn't worry.

I saw a woman get married for the first time in her 60s. The guy was 27 and she was 66 years old. He was madly in love with her and confessed his feelings through tv show that i forgot its name. Point is there’s no age for love and marriage but people make it seem like your life over if you pass 20s and never had a guy in your life.

Brainsbeforebeauty · Accepted Answer

Only that person can decide if it's bad for her or not.. I mean, if she wanted to be married and it hasn't happened for her I'm sure she'd feel bad... If she's happy not being married at 42, then that's what matters... Not society or stupid asshats with this "socially marketable" crap... Be you, do you!!

OlderAndWiser · Answer

Whether that is "bad" is a subjective evaluation and the only opinion that really matters is that of the 42 year old woman.

CuriousJC · Answer

No not really. Not everybody's built for marriage. It doesn't matter if the woman is 42 or 79 in age, because somewhere in the relationship the man or the wife will eventually cheat on their spouse. In my opinion, when you are married to someone for an extremely long time like 6 or 7 years; the relationship eventually goes dull and stale and just want to find someone else new.

Enygma · Answer

Nope. Not at all. Some people are very capable of being independent, self sufficient and self centered, not needing a partner ever.
This way they can also explore various aspects of life and also explore being with various people for many different experiences to learn and grow from.

Eric6666 · Answer

It depends on whether you want to get married. Not everyone needs or wants to get married.

My girlfriend will turn 42 next year. Age is not an issue to me but the prospect of having a kid is severely diminished at such an age.

Anonymous · Answer

Well it does give me an impression that the 42yo woman would be a very picky person. Which would probably be a signal to me to wonder "if she has said NO to all the other guys, why would she say YES to me?"
And since I'm not about to jump through all kind of hoops to get a womans heart (i strictly believe in just being myself), that mean that it would just signal me to walk away.

ItsMeElliana · Answer

no, you can do whatever makes you happy, waiting for that right man, or just being single, whatever it is best for you :)

USMC-Crossroads · Answer

Its bad for her... but Good for me! Seriously though, that age is prime for her, nits just that most women don't ever know or believe that.

shaysh87 · Answer

the sexism on here is unbelievable. why would you ask if only its bad for 42 yr old woman to be single? why not single 42 yr old men? this goes back to the days where unmarried women were shamed.

menina · Answer

I see nothing wrong with that. There's no right or wrong age to get married and marriage isn't for everyone. Besides you don't need to get married.

AaronKrieger · Answer

No, not everyone needs to be married or have certain things in their life to be successful or happy. Everyone's lives are different

Cherry234 · Answer

No. It's her decision whether she wants to be single, be in a relationship w/o getting married, or getting married

Friendlybro79 · Answer

No and try to think about who gets to decide the answer to your question. This isn't for anyone else to cast onto someone else. Only that person can decide for themselves if it's good or bad.

CTOswald · Answer

Only 42? Why isn't it much higher? I don't believe any number of year old women should be getting married! 1 is too young!

Depends on her. If she thinks it is bad, then it is. If she thinks its not, then it is not.

wankiam · Answer

no... ts her life and she can live it as she wishes

AviatorTom · Answer

Not if she wants to stay single. Not everyone is marriage material. An unmarried 42yo can have a perfectly fulfilling life.

angeltiny0 · Answer

I like speaking on that. Love I'm sorry if you can find somebody who cares about you a lot and you're 92 you should take that opportunity because life with two people is absolutely cool

Mangospacho · Answer

It depends. If she’s destroying any relationship she gets into, which is possible, then it’s a problem. If she just hasn’t met the right man, it’s not a problem.

PinkFlour · Answer

No it's not bad and whoever she is will be married soon if she keeps the faith.

AydenHazor · Answer

Absolutely not! A woman's worth is not determined by her relationships. If she decides she never wants to get married that's still not a bad thing!

TonyMetal___86 · Answer

It is bad but it's not in her hand if she can't find the one who suits her... Better have a real marriage that lasts forever then a marriage that is fake and will end up in divorce!

exitseven · Answer

No, unless she has been on a mission to find a husband since she turned 18.

Anonymous · Answer

Yes, it's very bad. Everyone needs love and someone to physically and emotionally show you affection. It's important for her mental health.

Nickoli42 · Answer

If she wants to have children, yes. But 40 somethings can still be plenty attractive if they take care of themselves.

bamesjond0069 · Answer

Only if she wants to be married is it bad. Id assume she doesn't want that if she's 42 and unmarried.

dvc0006 · Answer
