I'm 42.....Am I too old to marry now?

Greg	I went through the same thing at 41, jumped into a whirlwind romance with somebody who had enough baggage to fill an episode of Jerry Springer (didn't know there was that much until after I was in deep though), was pretty sure I made a mistake about a month before she dumped me. Moped around for months after that. Questioned life, the universe and everything. Called and tried to "be friends", figured out she's a mess. I'm 43 now. Wiser too:) But I hear you:) I come hear to read the horror stories so I feel better about being single:)

DoubleD	Do any of these people even read your question? I realize you're a man... My fiance is 42. And we are getting married in April. He has been divorced twice. And we both had baggage... but I'll tell you this...to be honest...he's the hottest effin guy I have EVER dated...and I'm only 34. Women carry baggage with them at any age....we are all severly unstable at times and are not prizes to be won... we all put on our pants one leg at a time... Marriage isn't all it's cracked up to be... good luck.

sweetpea	Its not too late. My brother is 50 and he just got engaged. He has had a few relationships but never married. Like you his life was feeling empty. It took him 5 yrs and many break ups with this same girl to finally get engaged. Idon't know if he will ever marry her, but he is happy for now, and she is not pressing to set a date. If you have been a bachelor for all these years, it will be a hard adjustment for you to share your life. Get started now and mabe in 5 yrs you will be engaged too.

Sweetness	Who cares about your age bracket. You need to BE HAPPY. Go for it!

ksueditz	WHY??? You are never too old to love or be loved. Not all women have been married a bazillion times, ya need to look other places then where you've been looking. They're out there. Go for it!!!!

camile j	Of coarse your not too old to get married. But you'll have to remember what you said...about the baggage. Your a minority in your age bracket with marriages. To find a woman without the baggage is going to be pretty much impossible to find. Unless you want an old spencter woman, that's either ugly, fat or crazy. Ask yourself..Do you want a family so badly enough to take on the baggage? Then find a woman who you fall head over heels with...that the baggage doesn't even bother you at all. YOUR HAPPY...

delux_version	Yep, that's it! Your destined to be alone and die unloved!

Alwyn C	You are never too old to get married. You would probably be surprised at how many women there are around in the same age group as you who have never been married yet. If you don't want to get married to anyone who has been married before join some singles clubs, and for goodness sake don't just get married for the sake of being married. I know of someone who got married and while he was very fond of the person he married, he was not in love, which has caused him problems. Someone always turns up when you least expect it.

*********3	Hell no you are not to old to marry, i have met a man that is 46, has been married twice before and has asked me to marry him, my answer is YES!

brews	Many states have a minimum age to get married. I don't believe that any have a maximum age. It is never too late. Don't assume that all of the women who are divorced have too much baggage to try again, plus there are women in your situation as well.

Need to know	Don't say that, I know that is hard. But 42 you are young, I bet really hot, and women of pride and can get any guy... Go out there and find the guy you want and need. You aren't too old... My grandmother was in her 60's and she was a widow, then just like that when she turned over to 70's she married and has been ever since then and now she is in her 90's... She had it ruff, and only married to the first man for maybe 20 years if not less... So if other women can get out there when they are over 50 then you will have just the same amount of luck I bet. Best of wishes, and good luck!

amazon	No, everyone deserves to be married no matter their age. Yeah, I knew a guy that never wanted to be married or have kids, but he divorced now, planning on marrying this other girl, now both want kids. I'm like you I would choice not to marry, because the only guys that want to marry me either want the whre/slt in me or my money. I want kids, but then I don't, because I'm not ready to settle down yet. But, I'm almost 39.

hatchetmistress	well loook at the way you act...who wants to marry somone who complains about excess baggage....everyone has problems.....why havent you been married...maybe your not such a peach after all.....relax and let it happen....even if she has kids or not.....who cares!!! She could be the one......oh....i;m sorry...oh your never too old to get married...hahahahhah

classielassie	Enjoy being single. Become the best person you can become. A positive person..who is not needy...will attract others who will enjoy, and perhaps love you.

Information Police	So, marry someone younger with less baggage. But seriously, we all have baggage. As a man who is 42 and never been married you are used to living on your own. You might be kind of difficult for a spouse. Nobody is perfect, neither you nor your future bride. That may be the most difficult thing for you - learning there is nobody who is perfect for you. A lot of guys I know who didn't get married for a long time had that problem. They couldn't accept a woman who was as imperfect as they were.

Yu Yevon	I assume your a dude....you not destined to be alone. There's tons of younger women who don't have the baggage most older women have, who dig older guys. And since you 42, you probably have a good job, maybe a house or what ever, so younger girls will feel more secure about that. Some of the guys there age aren't as distinguished.

Bonduesa	don't compare yourself to other women in your age bracket thats who they are, not you. your older wiser and smarter for waiting. your never to old for marriage, do what make you happy and if you find a man that is just the icing on the cake enjoy!

*Just Married*	You're never to old to marry... You'll find the right woman, just stay open minded.

EllenLouise	Destiny knows no negativity. Woman are just as frequently divorced. No human being is without baggage. You must be happy with yourself and feel self-love before you will see these things come to you.

Disco Lady	Oh god no. You my dear are most likely an amazing catch. Shower, shave, brush the pearlie whites and slap on some Polo and I guarantee you will find someone. There are women out there who are not damaged I promise. Just keep those peepers open and ask a few ladies out once and a while. The key is the polo!

Rox	your never to old to get married

~girliegirl~	older men are hot...are you rich? i'll be your trophy wife if you like ;)

KerzaSmith	awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww are you heck no your not too old your never too old you just need to try find someone in the same position as you

Me, Thrice-Baked	Hell, no, you're not too old! Just right, I'd say. Try some online dating, stop feeling sorry for yourself, and don't judge all women in your age bracket by the experiences of a few. You've got your whole life ahead of you!

Victoria	marry someone younger or someone without kids and stuff.

wayouthere	NO you are NOT TOO OLD. Finding someone to love is the most important thing. if you find them, keep them. life is short.

babeoluious222	Not at all as long as you are happy & fall in love go for it.

Robert B	No no no. Of course you're not too old to marry. Follow what your heart tells you.

browneyedonna	no you are not too old, girl you are in your prime!!!! :-)
