Glad to have you onboard with us and look forward to your future posts. Welcome to CC.
It has been my observation on this site that 'waiting for 'God's perfect timing' for the right woman, is code for either fear of commitment, fear of rejection or unrealistic or naïve expectations. There have been rare exceptions to this but basically, from my perspective, this is what that phrase really means. Then, when they feel the window of opportunity has been closed, some start blaming God or just accept that it was God's will and desire for them to remain alone their entire adult life even though their own eyes were closed to any possible opportunity that arose and were afraid or unwilling to take decisive positive action to establish a relationship that would possibly result in marriage.

You were probably ready to get married but simply married a man that was not suitable for you. It is best to allow God to search and find the one of your heart's desire rather than going it alone. My first marriage at the age of 23 was a disaster and mercifully ended after 6 1/2 years of pure physical and mental anguish. There are others on this site that could tell their own personal horror story about failed marriages. You are certainly not alone in this. You wrote and excellent life testimony and enjoyed reading it very much. Hopefully, it may prove helpful to others contemplating marriage in preventing still another marital disaster.
