Why do married women look so sad?

Anonymous wrote: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.


I think I love you. How did you know about the earplugs? I thought that was my shameful little secret.

No tinclined to read all the posts, but I am guessing (ina rather educated fashion) that OP wants to be with a particular married man. SO TRANSPARENT.

This is EXACTLY why I didn't want to mention on my OP that I am single. I am not a troll nor do I want a married man. I have a live in boyfriend who is wonderful and I think he is about to propose. I am very happy, but also very apprehensive, afraid this might change things as they are between us or make him feel differently. I love him deeply, but I'm just afraid the change will be for the worst. That's all. Not a troll. Not a creepy married people stalker, not a home wrecker. Some of you people have issues...

Perhaps it isn't their marital status and instead the fact that they are stuck in the crowded hot mall during the holiday season being run over by teenagers in jeans that are too tight and that have nothing to do but stroll around, yell, laugh too loudly and be generally annoying. Not to mention the other mall entities: the slow walker, the person walking against the flow of traffic, the man trying to sell you lotion as you just want to get to the f-ing CVS to buy some f-ing tampons.

I generally want to kill everyone at the mall, including anyone who might happen to be with me. If I was there with my mom, you might say " why do all married women hate their moms?"

Congrats on your possible engagement. Be sure you keep your eyes on your bouquet at all times during your wedding.

um, the "kill" part wasn't actually meaning literally kill - perhaps you need some lessons in sarcasm

I'm married and I hate going to the mall because I see so much hot young (i.e., 20something) ass wearing such sexy clothes. The girls working in the retail stores to the girls out on date night at the restaurants or the movie theaters. Seeing that just sucks! I remember back to when I would date, and the excitement wondering if you get lucky or not and then the excitement for the first time with someone new. Those feelings were awesome and unfortunately are never to return again. Sure marriage has some positives (trying to think of some) and fatherhood is GREAT (which makes everything worth it I suppose), but I do wish I was single at least for a weekend every time I go to Tysons Corner.

So yeah, I know what the OP is talking about. Being single also has its challenges of course, but when it is good it is really good.

OP, Things will change when you marry because society will push you into its conjugal sausage grinder to ensure that you come out a Wife on the other side. Before the big day please, for the love of all that is holy, PLEASE, do everything and anything you have ever wanted to do whether that is quitting your job, sleeping with another woman, seeing the pyramids, or buying yourself a Porsche. If you take my advice you will actually be doing your husband a favor because you won't hate him so much in the years to come.

Haiku poet - I love you.

OP (Haven't read many of the other posts) - I probably don't look happy at the mall. But, then again, I'm not a fan of the mall and I really don't like to shop. Crowds make me frustrated. Also, my entire life I've been told to "smile". I must walk around a lot with a look that seems sad. The funny thing is the majority of the time I am happy - but when I walk I am usually thinking about things (work, lists of stuff I need to buy, etc). I look upset when actually I'm concentrating.

But, I'm content and love my husband. I'm so grateful for him, our life together, our DD. I wouldn't trade my previous carefree and single life for the content life I currently have.
