I would prefer the bar-owner Aiden for sexual boning, and OG for fun, romantic walks in the city. OG would stop and buy me a donut.

Yeah, I feel like, after kids, the guy you NEED is an Aidan- someone who can hold up his end of things, clam you down when you’re stressed, and not add to the drama. Plus, cheap furniture!

I do! It’s on PBS sometimes still!

I don’t know why I would know that. English isn’t my first language, and this seems highly cultural. I always took “later in life” to mean anything later than average.

Sometimes a rush means that the couple doesn’t really get to know each other and it blows up. They’re high on chemistry.

For god’s sake people. I didn’t come up with the stats. A majority of women get married in their late 20s. I wish this wasn’t the case, but it seems to be. That doesn’t mean you won’t get married later. I hope I do and I hope you do if you want to, and whoever else. But it is far more common to get married between…

i married my husband of 25 years after 3 weeks of knowing him.

the people who think Aiden was boring are the same people who always complain they cant find “the one”

Every couple is different, I guess. My parents were engaged after two months of dating and have been happily married for almost 40 years now. I, on the other hand, think that is completely bat-shit and am content just living with my BF of 4 years... #ToEachTheirOwn

Maybe boring to a 25-year-old. At 36, SEND ME AN AIDAN NOW.

I’m married to a chef. I just ordered Jimmy John’s delivered to my desk at work and ate it over the trashcan. The thing about chefs is that they’re busy AF. Although we are having friends over for dinner tonight. I’m cooking. #chefwifelife

Exactly. That’s what I was thinking. Not just in general, but her specific situation. The funny thing is that I never said I wasn’t happy for her! Of course I am, I adore her. Unfortunately, these hateful replies are ruining my day. I’m dismissing the particularly awful ones. There are some crazy mf’s out there.

Hey, I’m almost 36 and unmarried and it *feels* like a later in life when almost everyone you know if married or engaged. The average age of first marriage for women is still like 27.

I’m sorry you’re catching so much heat for this becuuuuzzzzzz

Husband’s cooking skills and willingness to clean the house are probably responsible for a fair majority of our success as a couple.

Time doesn’t mean shit. My friend and her hubby got married after 3 months and they have been married for 10 years, happily. My aunt and uncle after 6 months, they have been married for almost 30 years. And then I have a cousin that married his baby’s mom after they had been together, seemingly happy, for 10 years and…

lol. We got married after about 9 months, and people always say that “When you know, you know!!” thing to us, and we’re always like, “HAHAHA NO, more like when you’re 21 you’re fucking stupid.” We just got super fucking lucky and turned out to be compatible after all.

LOL for real!!!

yeah i guess they did write him as “too boring for social butterfly fun loving carrie”. but as i get older he just seems more and more appealing — stable job, sweet, affectionate, and not a dick.

he was BORING?! because he wanted to snuggle carrie and go to his cabin and build furniture?! he never cheated on her or treated her badly. UGH I HATE THE “AIDAN WAS BORING” THING
