No relationship

[squaresandsquares]

My SIL is 42 and hasn't had a relationship. Well she's had a 3 year relationship where they didn't live together and he was 13 years younger than her.
Do you think this is strange/unusual?
What reasons might it be that she hasn't?

Maybe her standards are very high and she isn't willing to compromise!?

No she's the one who gets turned down

A bit bitchy. Leave her alone

Maybe they realise she is out of their league?

I don't mean to be bitchy. I just thought a relationship forum might help me understand.
It's more about trying to understand the family as i was with her brother but recently separated.

Yes winter could be.
I hope she does find someone as she wants babies

I think if you know someone personally, you should have a fairly good idea of why they're not in a relationship.

I mean... a group of strangers on t'internet can only give you a very long laundry list of possibilities. Since there are thousands if not millions of reasons why someone would not be in a relationship...

Ok thanks all. Let's leave it there then.

It may be that the family they were brought up in was dysfunctional. I presume you are looking for possible reasons your relationship sadly hasn't worked out? Ultimately that isn't going to help you though, ime, sorry....x

One of my friends never had a relationship until mid 30s. Literally never had a boyfriend even as a teen. Then met married and had dc with a lovely guy and they are very happy . I dont think there was any reason as she is probably more together that the rest of us with our relationship dramas over those years. It could be just the opportunities. Says nothing about her being dysfunctional, l don't think.
