“Marriage Has Never Interested Me” 46-Year-Old Woman Opens Up
A 46-year-old Nigerian woman has sparked conversations online after explaining why marriage has never been a major goal in her life.
In a viral video, the woman revealed that she has never been married, engaged, or seriously considered wedding plans because marriage was never something she desired.
She said that she has been in relationships before, including one that lasted about five years, but settling down was never a priority for her.
“I’m 46 years old, Nigerian, Yoruba, I have never been married before, I have never been engaged, I’ve never looked at wedding pictures, I’ve never looked at wedding dresses, I’ve never looked at venues, I’ve never even come close to it,” she said.
The woman stressed that her decision was not because she lacked attention from men or had no relationship opportunities.
“Before you say maybe because no man likes you. I have been in a relationship two years, I think the longest is like four or five years, but baby, never, ever, is not, never been a priority for me. I’m just, I don’t want this shit, like, since I was young,” she explained.
She said her views about marriage were shaped by what she observed while growing up in Nigeria. According to her, she came from a home where her parents stayed together until her mother passed away, which many people would consider a stable family background.
However, she said watching different marriages around her influenced her decision.
As a data analyst currently studying data engineering and AI-related subjects, she said she looks at patterns and experiences when making decisions.
“I’m a data analyst. Right now, I’m in a data engineering class and one thing I understand is that when you want to predict the future, you collect data and you go by history,” she said.
She explained that her observations of relationships in her community made her question whether marriage was something she wanted.
“You go by history. You go by the history of marriages in our communities, the current marriages in our communities, everything I’ve seen growing up, the way our grandfathers treated our grandmothers, the way our fathers treated our mothers, the way our mothers endured and suffered,” she added.
She said she has never seen a marriage around her that made her want the same experience.
The woman’s comments have generated mixed reactions online. While some people supported her choice and described marriage as a personal decision, others argued that individual experiences should not define every relationship.
