I've been married, I am currently single. I don't think less of marriage just because mine failed. It's failure is not an indictment on the institution of marriage, nor should it be. I'm doing my thing but I'm open to meeting someone, getting remarried, and starting a family if that's something that's ahead of me.

I'm' coming across women in my age bracket 40+...that if they never had kids, they STILL want them. Although I'd much prefer to date someone without kids, since I don't want any (I'm in my mid-40s now)...I am kind of wondering why women even their 40s still desire it. There's a big risk there.

It's like I may be better off dating single moms with 2 kids, so I know they don't want more of them. But hten you have all that drama that comes with it.

So its a catch 22

Hmmm.. think biologically women may have more of a need to raise children than men. The bond between mother and child can be very strong and very psychologically rewarding. Women who go through life without any offspring might be feeling a mid-life type of crisis when they reach above the age of 40.
