Where do you live?

I live in LA where it’s not that uncommon so I don’t feel as much pressure and a total outcast. However, I’m from Ohio. My poor mom, when people ask her about her children -ages 29, 32, 33 - she says, “no not married, no grandchildren …” The response she gets, “what is wrong with them?!”. I’m 32, never been married, attractive and have a kick ass personality. Nothing is f%#$*ing wrong with me!! Damn it.

Or how about when you’re married and don’t wear a ring - that’s us! When we got married, people were always like, let me see your ring. I didn’t want to wear a ring and people can’t fathom that.

I got it both ways..I grew up in a small town in Texas, so my early twenties were spent fielding the “when are you going to get married”…didn’t help that the hubs and I dated for 6 years before getting around to getting married.
But then, when I was in New York, I had to start fielding the “omg, you’re way to young to get married. You should be single and living it up” camp.
You can’t win for losing…

I hate those kind of assumptions. We are all on our own path in life, let everyone enjoy being exactly where they are instead of creating pressure to do something else/sooner/better.

I’m foul on marriage right now. If anyone tries to marry me off I will cut them.

At least this week.

I need to call my grandma soon and I was going to call her tonight. As I went to find the phone (that turned out to be dead, but that’s not really the point) I thought to myself, “she’s going to ask if I have a boyfriend. Again.”

the sad thing isn’t that she asks though. It’s that I’m just as disappointed as her, probably more, when I have to say no. Again.

So yah, I look forward to these questions more and more as time goes on.

i field these questions constantly. being 28 and not even dating anyone, its tough. having been to 33 weddings in the three years is even tougher.

throw a big fat greek family on top of it, with a grandma who says, “i’m not dying till i see you walk down the aisle” makes it almost unbearable.

when my time comes it will come! until then, shut the F up.
