Single ladies, how do you respond to "why aren't you married yet?" - Page 8

I'm one of those girls who's almost always single, and I usually tell people it's because I see so many shitty (sorry, but it's true) relationships I'm like, "Really? You mean, I could have a crappy boyfriend, too? Wow! NO THANK YOU." It's just disgusting what some guys (or girls) get away with. I'm still boycrazy, but not boy-certifiably-insane to date someone that isn't good to me.

And as far as the kids go, I just see so many IDIOTS breeding little idiots. And I'm happy living for myself right now. I don't need kids (and, again, not in a relationship, so not gonna have a kid on my own...)

Okay, I've been Negative Nelly enough for tonight. I do like kids, and would love to find that right guy for me, but HONESTLY! I see so many nutters getting married and having nutter kids, it's kind of off-putting!

I went to a baby shower today...for a girl who has been married, divorced, and now has gotten pregnant by a married man on purpose because she "really wants a baby."

And she's 21.

I feel sorry for that child. The unborn baby, not your friend.

This is awesome. My boyfriend and I moved in together LAST WEEK and I've already gotten several questions from friends/family along the lines of "are you guys engaged yet?"

Um. No. We just moved in, LAST WEEK. Nine hours away from home for me. I don't have a job yet, and I have no friends here. Are you cracked? Give me a chance to unpack all my boxes first!

^^^They're probably asking if you moved in together because you're engaged, not the other way around.

Some, yes. Others probably just don't approve of living with someone when you're not married. My take on it is... fine I can get my own place but those who don't approve of living with someone can pay half my rent!

WTH is wrong with her? and in that respect WTH is wrong with women who go for married men? Yes I realize men are dogs, yadda yadda, but when someone finds out he's married, why not just cut the strings and bail? That is just shady.

We've reached a new low here...one of my students asked me today when I was going to have kids. Granted she's 14, and has no tact, but still...

She seemed horrified that at 32 I didn't have kids yet. Who's next? We got it all day Saturday at my husband's grandma's 80th b-day too, along with an aunt who made the snide remark, "Well since we weren't invited to the wedding..." which my husband cut off with, "You were invited, you just chose not to come." That stopped the BS.

Yay husband!

(Back when I thought 20 was old) I used to want to be married at 22 with my first child at 24.

BUMP THAT, life is too fun right now! Between my classes, job, volunteer work, and figure skating, I'm too busy for a fish let alone a family.

Haha sounds like me! lol When I was younger (maybe around 12-13), I was POSITIVE that I was going to get married at 20, and have a baby by 21. I figured that was old enough (because I did want to be a young mother, just not a teen one) and I would be ready for a baby. Ummm...yeah, no! lol.

My divorced parents are starting to ask me if they think my 25 year-old sister is going to marry her boyfriend of 3 years. They independently ask my sister if she thinks I will marry my boyfriend of 2 (I'm 28). They don't ask us directly, they ask the other sister. It's a riot!

My 4th grade teacher said this to a bunch of us one day back then, and even then I was like ummmm

I thought of this thread over the weekend. I asked my cousins if I could have their addresses for Christmas cards, and one of them asked "So when will we get the invitations."

Invitations for WHAT? I'm probably going to use the bathroom pretty soon here, you want an invitation for that?

LOL. People are so ridiculous.

I went to a student org meeting a few weeks ago (both grad and undergrad students). As we were introducing ourselves, one of the girls introduces herself and tells us a little about who she is.

She says, "I'm Becky, and I'm 19 yrs old, I just got married on Saturday."

Of course the girls in the room were all "awww" and someone asked her where they went for their honeymoon. Her response, "Oh we didn't get to have a honeymoon because he had to be back here for his Intro to Psych exam on Monday morning."

We were talking a little later and she asked me how old I was and I said "oh I'll be 24 this month" and she says "wow, I can't imagine being that old."

I have never felt so old in my life.

The intro to Psych made my boyfriend LOL. He also says "they're totally getting divorced."

I love being made to feel old at 24. Really. You know, it's getting to the point where all these college kids are making me feel so old that I get EXCITED when I get IDed at a liquor store. Really. I'm 24. I should still be annoyed by that.
