So I went on a date with this guy and he told me that since by the age of 35 I had never been married and never had any kids that “people” would think there is something “wrong” with me. He was from the Deep South so I took that into account. Has anyone else ever been told that or does anyone agree with this thinking?
I don't agree with the "spinster" attitude as I believe it is just fine to wait and find the right person. That may take quite a while, and it may happen right away. The scary part? You can't KNOW that this is the right person until you live together and... stay the course through thick and thin.
I married at 30. I was able to live some life before tied to the institution. And now I'm once again free of the institution. ????
She was on close to her 50's never married, no kids. Her boyfriend was her job. A pro dancer. I didn't judged her. We still friends and still annoy each other. She ain't weird or me a freak.
Honestly? I don't think there's anything wrong with you, but parenthood is such a profoundly transformative experience, I can't quite relate to people who never go through it.
