Strange attitude towards single people

Speaking personally, I found it was hard avoiding societal expectations of being a wife and mother. I gave in to them, despite knowing it wasn't really what I wanted, only to regret both choices later. I'm not the marrying kind. Having escaped it, I'm never going down that route again.

If others want to see me as a failure, let them. Happy spinster of the parish!

I know some people who are single because they were holding out for the love of their life and it didn't happen.

I know some people who are married because they 'settled' for someone at a time when they felt it was time to get married, or because they wanted a child.

There are many reasons why people chose the path they did. I would have stayed single if I hadn't fallen genuinely in love.

DD decided when she was about 4 that children did not play a part in her future and at about 20 that she was too uncompromising to ever live with anyone. Each a good decision and, heading for 50, she has never wavered or changed her mind.

Her single blessedness is a the result of a conscious decision by her. It certainly wasn't because no one was interested in her and she has always had close friends, both male and female.

Why do people always make this stupid prejudiced comments. If SHE is single, it is because no one wants her. If HE is single, he is gay.
