When I was thirty and perhaps forty, I did not want a wife. It was too much fun being single.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I enjoy being single, but I loved being married.
I turned forty, and I'm finally going to get married and maybe have a kid.
I liked being married instead of the girl who's looking for a guy.
I didn't want to be one of those women who wake up at 63 years old and realize they've missed the window of opportunity for marriage and children.
When I was in my 20s, I wanted to be tough. I discovered that I didn't want to be the woman I was raised to be - a good, traditional wife. When I went out in the world to find a husband, I found that husbands weren't ready to accept the kind of woman I was going to be.
I didn't want to get married. What I knew of most men was something I didn't want any part of. I just wanted to work on my career.
I was 36 when I got married. I was so focused on, 'You wanted a husband, and you wanted a house, and you wanted children.' I've had all those things now.
I didn't get married until I was 38.
I was with someone at 19, and I was married at 23, and I didn't want kids when I was in my 20s.
For a long time, I wanted children. When I was about 30 or 32, I really thought about it.
