When he was 30 I asked him why he had not married and he said "Why would I get married when there are so many women?!" I am an ex-girlfriend that he said he planned to marry.

I feel this is normal. I'm 27 and have been married for a year and a half. I'm now separated and thinking seriously about divorce. I feel that I jumped into things too early in life and now wish I had waited until I was older. She's ready to settle down and start a family. I don't ever want kids. I've learned the hard way that I made a big mistake...

I'm 43, never married. Didn't date seriously in my 30s because I was focused on my career, and my job had me flying all over the world and never staying put in one place for long, and I didn't feel that was the right kind of situation to try to have a serious relationhip. At 40, I took steps to make sure I didn't travel so much, and I could finally settle down.
Now, 3 years and one serious relationship and about 50 first dates later, I am finding out that meeting the right person isn't quite as easy as I had imagined it would be.
Que sara, sara. I'm OK with it.

While he may be a little self centered, at least he didn't marry, have children, and still try to be self centered. Is it normal, it isn't abnormal. It seems it was likely just the way he decided to live his life.
I am divorced. i have two children that I love and take care of very well. But, I will not marry ever again, and will also not have anymore children. is it self centered. Maybe, but I don't owe to anyone else out there to live any differently.

Ever consider he might view marriage as a one time, all important thing and has chosen to wait until he finds the perfect woman for him?
How is that self centered- not wanting to mess up someone else's life by marrying someone just because he's a certain age? That's no reason to marry.
I'd rather wait for the right person. I'm sure that's his take too.

In the early bible times, men were not considered a man until the age of thirty years old. That is why Jesus was baptized at 30. Most men are not passed the bloom of youth, until this age. So if this man wants to wait until he is matured for the task of marriage, than good for him. Marriage is nice, but it is a hard thing to go through if the couple are not matured, and ready for it.
This is why many marriages break up today. Lack of maturity, security's, and knowledge. This guy may seem self-centered, but to me maybe he is just being practical, and smart.

it is very normal for a man not to marry until he is 40 men take longer to find the right one. When a lot of women will just take what they can get those this can work either way some women will wait.

Not odd; he is probably ready to settle down, maybe got rid of the wild oats already? Most likely a mature person instead of a little boy who still needs to grow up. He might be a bit more self-centered if he has not been in a long-term relationship. You get a fresh start.

what is a normal age to get married anyway? it's better to wait until you find the person to take that step with, then rushing into something that won't last. Getting married at 40, will hopefully make you wiser in relationship, and you could probably have a lasting marriage.

Nope, It is your right to live it up as much as you want. Don't let nobody con you into getting married. It is a SCAM that you won't be able to get out of without losing half of everthing you own.
If you are getting plenty of sex from a variety of women, there is not need for marriage. Why buy the cows when the milk is free?
If you want to be a father, you can always adopt. Don't let some lady con you into knocking her up. Then you're really screwed.

There is nothing wrong if a man doesn't get married until he is 40.Some men aren't ready for marriage until they are older. Alot of men and women get married too young and alot of times they aren't ready to settle down and have a family.
