Why do married women look so sad?

We could have skipped hand in hand down the scented byways of the mall, perhaps jumping into the fountain together. Ah well. Back to my lonely life of woe and misery.

Next time, won't you reach out to me...take a lonely lady by the hand? Just say to me "Let me into your heart, married woman, I'm here for you." I'm sure my heart will be yours forever.

Too funny! Love the skipping part!!

I think this person is the worst kind of troll. Start something when there is no need. The Op was make an observation that I have seen myself quite abit. Married men or women don't seem as happy as the single people. I agree with the Op, but even if I didn't she has a right to an observation, doesn't she? You seem like an insecure troll, because you're wondering if your husband is really happy or not.

SNORT. This is ridiculous. Are you married or single? How is your own security level?

Are you kidding, you're the one that couldn't brace the fact that the Op had a valid observation. Married people do seem alittle less happy. I can see why you're own husband is probably unhappy, because you're not able to have a normal adult conversation. You result to name calling and have probably called your husband a few names. No wonder he is miserable.

Wow. OP here and I think this is a little uncalled for. Yes I think this poster has a little attitude on this board, but it doesn't mean she acts like this in real life nor does it mean her husband is unhappy. You don't know them, so don't judge. I didn't come here to attack people, I just came ask married women to give me a little insight so I don't swear off men and marriage altogether.

Let me get this right. You don't think there is any parallel to calling someone a troll or snort, real life? When you do this to a complete stranger, how do you think she would talk to her own husband or kids? Name calling as an adult shows an immaturity level. I don't have to know her to believe that she has problem got an attitude problem with most people she knows.

PP who talked about the yacht in France pretty much summed it up. We look so sad because we know our sex lives are over forever and we yearn to be favored with a passing lust-filled glance even from an older, unattractive man we would not have thought twice about in our Golden Single Days.

Our husbands are good, sensible men who budget like demigods but never take us dancing, who give us flowers on holidays but always from the grocery store, who put in earplugs and sleep like bears in winter through our crankiest babies´ nights and then ask cheerily the next morning how we slept. We love them like brothers, we will never leave them, but the realization that our sweet years are slipping by plunges us into abject misery.

It is worse at the mall than anywhere else because we don´t just see the other mothers from school or church or the playgroups, we see the hot young things who are getting what we want and we know they are wasting it just as foolishly as we did, tragically unaware that they too will soon be caught in the vise of living death that we call Marriage.

OP,I see your point.

sometimes those couples just want to be like an american dream... for their social life... but there is not happiness!!!

This is so true. Also, sometimes I go to the mall and spend hours wandering aimlessly, trying to start a conversation with women that appear to be single so I can try to determine whether they are happier than I am. If they are pretty and single, and happy, that makes me happy, because that means that maybe I'll be happy if I am ever single again. But if they are pretty and single, but unhappy, that makes me sad and concerned about my future. Especially if they are in a long line.

Because we are sad!! when you are single, yo do not have worries at all and you are happy!!!

I'm married and don't look sad in the least. In fact, I look great and feel great!! And, I just had my second child by c-section a mere 4 weeks ago! Oh, and I freaking love the mall. Makes me happier still.
