I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how (some) married people treat single people. I’m sure they think they have good intentions, but it just seems…. Off.
By this I mean there are certain married people (and for the most part, it is the women) who seem to think it is their mission to ‘FIX’ us single people. Or fix us up. (UGH!!! NO!!!)
We aren’t broken.
Other times, those women seem to want to throw their married status in our single faces about how
AAA-MMM-AAA-ZING
WONDERFUL
PERFECT
their married lives are, or that somehow, they are better than us because they are married and single’s are.. single.
I’ve actually had two women stand in front of me and go on and on and on about their husbands and then look at me as if I had two heads because I couldn’t say anything. Because I don’t have a husband to go on and on and on about.
(But if I did, you’d better believe I’ll brag about him – but to my married friends)
I didn’t exactly choose to be in this spot in my life, but I accept it and the path I have taken to get here.
Being single is a choice I have made, and I do not regret it. I am okay where I am currently.
So please, married people, stop trying to “fix” single people. If a single person needs fixing, you probably can’t help them anyway.
And unless we specifically ask you to, please do not fix us up with other singles.
It is completely awkward for us.
And MOST importantly.....
