Single vs. Married

Hummm ......
Some bitter voices on each side....
I dont exactly agree with some of the views that are shown in this article but it is an interesting read...
Though.... I wonder why my neck is all of a sudden so tense right now?

Two Points had me mouthing in big words "YES ! THATS RIGHT!" and pointing to the screen:
(under the single's view)

There seems to be an attitude harbored by many marrieds that they are the normal ones. Such notions cut deep for many singles.

But the No. 1 complaint among single women with married girlfriends is... the pity. "They get this look on their faces," says Fiona, 38, in New Orleans. "You haven't seen them in two years, and the first thing out of their mouths is, 'So, are you dating anyone?' Then they give me the old head-tilt, sad-face look. It makes me want to scream."

My point is that sometimes Married people totally forget that they were ever single:

Those folks who are married sometimes gripe that singles don't do enough to help themselves develop healthy relationships. "They say, 'All I want to do is get married and have babies.' Yet they're hanging around at the same post-college bar....

Just because they were lucky to find their 'better' halves at these places way back in the day, they dont know how it is to deal with singledom when they get older. Now, I dont hang out at the same Clubs or Bars as I did in University but where is there to go now? What Gripes my hiny is that they seem to have the answers to everything and the blame is soley on us (single ppl).... yet minus their 'better' half now and see how they handle the single game at this time and age. At times its not a pretty site out there. And no, I am not JUST blaming extraneous things for my singledom, as I said earlier we all have our different reasons and paths in life, but for others to assume why they know you are in the place you are in as if they have perfect lives themselves is .... well.... my gripe.

Ah I guess singles and marrieds should take both sides and try to understand where they are coming from. Some parts of this article just seem outright mean and bitter....maybe that is why my neck is tense....

I like your blog. I think you have a great style and a refreshing perspective. I don't know if you'd be interested, but I just posted a couple of days ago on what not to say to a single. I come from what you could call a more religious perspective, but try to approach it all with a bit of humor.
