Hey, harpgirl...you may be dead right! My parents were among the world's most controlling ever, and I was the ONLY child, so I got hit with all of it (ouch!).

I have NEVER married (at 52) despite being a lifelong romantic with strongly monogamous tendencies. I sincerely doubt that I ever will.

But what's this about "too-long single folks"??? What's wrong with being single anyway? Who says everyone HAS to marry?

Like I said, it's not the main point of life anyway. Well, not for me. I did think it was the main point of life when I was younger and less experienced.
