not being married des not mean that you are single..and on the other hand-what is the difference between "living together" and "married"? ..there is practically no difference except the ceremony and some signitures there-totally unneeded things
I agree about this decision , better to stay single than marrying the wrong person because what is our aim if we have a desperate life better find the wright one on the wright time no matter when even at 40 it is not bad if the life worth to spend the last few years with a nice companion .
