I'm over 50, never married, no kids. . .anyone else?

You actually think married people have sex after the honeymoon? Lol! If you like getting laid, marriage is not for you...start saving for the divorce and child support payments.

Don't worry about it. All bloodlines of all families on earth have at most 8-9 years before they are all ended. You are far from alone on being the end of the line. All of us are.

Late 50s, never found my way, never lost at love, never loved at all, always been poor and hard working to the point of really beginning to break down now, with no one and nothing to look forward to and no way to pay for it. Sad and lonely. Always believed in God and Jesus and that carried me through most of it, but it just seems all that much harder now. Sorrow.

You apparently had a bad marriage!!

Ours was like the Honeymoon phase for 30 years!

.

Married for a few months in the 90s. Amicable split. Have had the odd crush or flirtation and dated some but never had the desire to get hitched again...seems like a huge risk, even with both having the best intentions going in.

Yes. I see that too.

You see him as a runaway slave, don't you?

It’s Ok... Don’t give up hope. Read your Bible every day & cultivate that walk with Jesus. Most go through a difficult refining Fire throughout life. I had it all (worldly) when I didn’t know Jesus. But through the Fire there were many miracles along with the suffering... Such deep sorrow & suffering. After decades of a mostly good marriage. The betrayal in the end still breaks my heart. Beyond the cheating, the deliberate financial destruction... Demon infestation! What a dramatic change.

I wouldn’t harm a stranger in such a way... Unbelievable!!
My point is Jesus is coming back!! Get ready Spiritually & if He wants you to meet anyone, He will make it happen!

Just 10 days ago I slipped & badly hurt my ankle. The pain increased to terrible & I could hardly walk. Jesus healed me quickly after I prayed... It went from so bad to fine fast!!

This World is now corruption evil & set for some serious destruction! Focus on our King of Glory... Trust Him & pray for loneliness to leave!

God bless you every day... You are not alone. :) :)

There's no bigger blessing than having grandkids

After the death of one of my children (teen), 12 years later I became a grandparent, then 14 years & 16 years later. One looks a lot like my deceased child & all 3 are loved as if I gave birth to them. It’s an incredibly wonderful experience. It’s so incredibly powerful & beautiful how the human heart (Non psychopaths or sociopaths) just overflows with love for every new child.

It’s a miracle of God.


.

Cursed be the day in which I was born!
Let the day not be blessed in which my mother bore me!

Let the man be cursed
Who brought news to my father, saying,
"A male child has been born to you!"
Making him very glad.

And let that man be like the cities
Which the LORD overthrew, and did not relent;
Let him hear the cry in the morning
And the shouting at noon,

Because he did not kill me from the womb,
That my mother might have been my grave,
And her womb always enlarged with me.

Why did I come forth from the womb to see labor and sorrow,
That my days should be consumed with shame?

Jeremiah 20:14-18

The thing about being a father is your children always believe in you even when you don’t believe in yourself. The hardest thing is watching them grow up.

Long suffering builds strength, courage, endurance, humility, a humble heart, love for others, empathy, & compassion to name a few.

Prepare for that narrow path as there are few that find it.

..

Unfortunately you can try the best you can be as a parent, and still in the kids heads that was not good enough according the medias brain washing. They have all the kids convinced that they are victims in one way or another. Then they leave and leave a hole in your chest and don't care. Really is it worth it to be a parent anymore?

—
What happened 5 years ago that all 4 of your children vanished at once?
Did you do anything such as cheat on or divorce their Mom? It doesn’t make sense that all 4 did the same thing around 5 years ago. It’s normal to stay in touch with parents, even if living in different states.

I have a male friend who is 61 another who's 58. They are attractive, straight, financially secure but neither bother to even date anymore.

Me too

get an AI to to make a song out of this and it will be a smash hit.

They've figured it out..... and are now maintenance free and are able to enjoy life on their terms. Kudos to them!

Lol. Children are our chance for a do over. They are incredible.

Like having a mini you traipsing about the landscape. That is immortality.

Have relatives and friends that never had, including a large family with zero grandkids. Legacy is over when the last one dies. History will forget then.

Sad but true. All about legacy, what legacy do you leave behind?

Same here, at 63, though I do have Nephews and Nieces (and a Nephew and Niece once removed). I don't feel I've missed out on anything and am very glad I have not been responsible for inflicting suffering onto yet another generation.

Though of course it is just as well not everyone does the same.

As for what holds for me in decrepitude, I hope humane euthanasia will solve. There is a lot to be said for dropping dead of a heart attack at a modest age - having seen and come from (far too) long lived stock.

Sounds like you were a shitty dad. Probably beat your kids... no other reason they would leave your ass.

When I was a kid, I was a Bible tard. I had an enate sense that I would be living in "end times" or at least very tumultuous times and here we are!

When I was married during my late 20s / early 30s, my wife begged for kids. I refused to have any because I did not have the resources and knowledge to protect them from the "system". We divorced.

I am single in my 50s now and I do have the knowledge and resources I lacked when I was married but, it is all for naught as it won't be passed on.

I have had a steady girlfriend since the age of 7 by 17 I was living with a 26 year old hot blond ,never went more than 3 weeks without a girlfriend and my sex drive was through the roof 5-6 times a day I basically would have stuck it in a rolling doughnut lol.brought up kids I. Some of those relationships and that kids still ask for me I treated everyone of them with respect. Lots of times I have been told I would have been a great father BUt I did not want to be a weekend dad which would have happened as well was a male slut when younger as I worked away a lot and played about a lot .

I got to 40 and realised my worst nightmare was a woman saying to me I am pregnant yet there was me banging away like a madman lol.

Then I woke up one morning and my sex drive had vanished at 41 now the thought of being physical or even kissing scares me ,I even hate shaking hands now and don't even think of touching me or trying to cuddle me well unless it's my dog .

I just cannot get my head around people needing sex after their early 40s they are basically junkies needing a fix of chemicals hitting their brain .

I get hit on by women regularly as I look a good 10-15 years younger than I am but I would not swap the piece and quiet of being a hermit for anything and after seeing the way most couples act with each other behind closed doors constant rows and bickering I will stick to being just one man and his dog show .

The wise old saying never trust anything that bleeds for a week and does not die really makes sense to me now after a lifetime of observation and first hand experience my 2 cents for what it is worth .

I love women and respect them but I love my quiet even more

Many women and a few marriages.

Frankly, it wears me out to even talk about it let alone think about it.

Still married to number 3. She's a loving, caring woman.

Forget about it. You made the right choice.
Shaved yourself from trouble.

The world is yours for the taking.

Alright but let’s be honest. Most married people after the first baby don’t have much sex for the basic reason that the mom is always busy. Also other reasons ..
