Do what you like. Just keep in mind that once you hit 30, the guys in your age group will probably be interested in women in their mid 20s still. And each passing year, that will become more of a barrier. The best men will already have been paired off. That may not be a big deal for you, but better to be aware of it beforehand.

Hello MyCreativeThoughts 26-30, F. Many people make the mistake of marrying too young for various reasons. I married at age 22 and my GF was 17. She spoke about nothing else but having a baby for the previous year but I managed to put her off until she was 19 because I knew it was a big commitment and I'm glad I did, but I wish we'd waited a bit longer to tie the knot. During the year after our second child was born six years after we were married she had a brief affair with someone I knew from our circle of friends. I suspected it because of inexplicable changes in her behaviour and attitudes but she denied it avidly. We began to argue every day when I came home from work about trivial things. Within the year she left abruptly and moved in with the prime suspect on the very same day. They had a baby together, her third child, then he left her. Our relationship suffered irreparable damage. For the next 15 years I was a weekend parent until both of my kids had finished school and found employment. I did my own shopping, laundry and cooking and spent my spare time studying to improve my employment opportunities. I was a bit lonely but I simply had no time for a GF. I am still on good terms with my two (now adult) children. Their mother and I now live separate lives. There is nothing left to fight about having made a fair division of our assets. I have no idea how many lovers she has but I do know I am not one of them. We are both now free to do what we want without compromise or dishonesty. Had we spent more time getting to know each other at the start we probably would have seen that we are just not right for each other for a committed relationship and the grief of an acrimonious break up could have been avoided. I am still a bit lonely and I am open to the possibility of another monogamous relationship but I am in no hurry to give away my hard earned freedom. I am not one to change partners as often as my socks. It would have to be the right person.

thank god someone understands you dont HAVE to have a man.
hey im 27 also. :)

That's good you're honest. But let me just tell you. Don't wait too long because you'll regret it. Also men mostly lime younger women in their 20s like us so you may want to start looking....when you're ready. Just saying but I respect your choice.

Nothing wrong with that
