Single And Over 30: Nothing. Nothing Is Wrong With Me Because I Am Still Single
From the Dating Archives….
Do you ever get tired of people asking what’s wrong with you? Why are you still single?
Why is “I just haven’t found the right person” not a good enough response?
I mentioned this to a co-worker the other day. She pointed out that marriage is not the end-game. It’s really the start of something else. And I would agree. It’s not like people suddenly get married and all of sudden life is in technicolor and that’s the only way to see all those vivid colors.
So why must my marital status be the be-all and end-all to other people? And why, I wonder, is it a bad thing, that in my mid thirties I haven’t been married yet and don’t have any kids?
How does having less baggage make me less attractive?
I could ask the same thing of a lot of guys I date – as at least 1/2 of the men I date are divorced, with kids. And yet, I don’t automatically ask them what’s wrong with them for having been married. Because that line of thinking is a crock. And comes from a place of scarcity. And I’m not about to buy into it, or pass it on.
What do you think? Are you tired of people commenting on your “single” status?
