Why Did Your Parents Get Married?

WHY DID YOUR PARENTS GET MARRIED?

My dad was a nerd. My mom a beauty queen.

When they met my dad was studying for becoming a doctor. His main passions were video games and music. He’s always been kind of a genius academically. He is very reserved and does not talk a lot at first.

My mom, on the other side, was a high school student. She was the president of the Students Council, a gymnast and a photo model. She was always surrounded by many friends, she liked parties and having fun. Despite being skilled, she wasn’t a top student, her sassy behavior didn’t help either.

My dad was supposed to meet a girl for a date. The girl asked my mom to go with her just to check that everything would go smoothly and well. However, it was love at first sight between my parents. They dated for seven years, for a period of time they even lived in different cities, but their love never ceased. They married in 1994, one year later my older sister was born.

HOW IS LIFE WITHOUT MARRIAGE?

I had a child when I was a teenager. Most of his childhood, I was a single mom. When he was a teenager, he brought homeless kids home with him. Several lived with us off and on for years.

When he was 17, I got married, to a pretty terrific guy. We were together for 27 years, then he died of cancer.

At that time, for the first time in my life, at age 58, I began living alone. I still miss my husband, and my son is on the other side of the country.

But you know what? I have come to relish my freedom and privacy. I do as I wish, without consulting anybody else.

I’ve been on my own now for almost 7 years. I have no desire to marry again. I don’t want a housemate, I don’t even want a romantic relationship.

I like being able to come and go as I please, sleep whatever weird hours I want, eat what I want, watch what I want, listen to the music I want at the moment.
