Aren't you, like, 26?
Jesus!
I think it sucks that people have this preconceived notion of what's "normal" or not. What does it metter to them if you want to live alone for the rest of your life? If you want to do that, and if you're happy, then what's the problem? Slap some sense into that bitch you call a friend, Mike!
It doesn't just happen to single people either. For years, Mark & I were hounded constantly by everyone we knew - family, friends, coworkers, etc. "When are you going to get married?" We'd tell them "We're not." It never ended there, it always continued with "Why? How come? Doesn't he want to? Don't you want kids?" Um, no, we just don't feel the need to get married just to please you people. We did it when we felt like it - on our 10 year anniversary.
And just to rub it in, we ran away & eloped & didn't tell any of them until we got back. Bitches.
Now it's the kid thing.
"Don't you want kids? When are you having a baby? You don't have much time, you know." OK, thanks, I'll keep that in mind. That at 31, my eggs are drying up as I type this & if I don't get knocked up right now, I won't ever be able t if I ever change my mind. Ack!
