Am I the only one?
I feel like I am the only person in this situation. Every one of my friends are married. I'm not exaggerating. Every one is married and most of them (maybe 80%) have kids. I'm the only single girl. Since both adults in each of the marriages work, that means the weekend is really the only time they have to be together.
If we do go out for a girls night, it is usually only for a few hours since they have to ask the husband, get someone to watch the kids, etc. Or what has happened lately is that the girls night out turns into "Let's invite the guys too" at the last minute and I end up feeling like a tag-along all the whole night.
I know a big part has to do with the fact that I am frustrated about being single. When I go out with my girls, I just want to go out and have a good time and forget my problems. Instead, what happens is it only serves to emphasize the problem (my single status).
I feel like I am being petty but that doesn't stop me from feeling bad at the end of the night. Is anyone else in this situation? If so, how do you handle it?
