Are single women

Do you think that there are some circumstances where it is the single woman herself that is applying pressure and her family and friends do the same because they think that is what she wants?

I think that the pressure you say you may have put on yourself is different than the kind of familial pressure that James is asking.

Your family probably wants you to be happy and would be happy whoever you found yourself with. The minute you are unhappy with somebody, then they'd be unhappy and would help you in some way.

The kind of familial pressure that we are discussing is the kind that gets asked a family gatherings where they ask you and your significant other "point blank" indicating that you and your other are defective because in their perceived world people should be together is some way... I really don't get it and I hope I will never turn in to that.
