[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please don't condescend to her by saying she will meet someone soon. A woman doesn't need to be married with children to be happy, so don't encourage her to "hold on" until she can finally join the blissful ranks of married women. Study after study has shown that single women are the happiest group of all; married women are the LEAST happy. The problem is that our society tells women that they are unfulfilled and selfish if they haven't snagged a man and popped out any babies yet.

So please encourage her to expand her social circle to include more unmarried, child-free, happy people. Life is too short to be wishing it away waiting for a family.

Easy for you to say.

It is very lonely out there when all your friends are married and you are left in the dust. I'd rather see for myself if being married with beautiful children to love on and watch grow up is miserable. I'd like to take my chances, just like you.[/quote]

It IS easy for me to say! I got married at 38. I enjoyed the HELL out of my single years--vacationing with fun friends, travel, trying new sports and classes. Spending all my time and money doing stuff that I wanted! Of course dating was on my mind, and I dated a lot. But I also enjoyed my life the way it was. Sitting around feeling sorry for yourself is the worst possible waste of time and energy.[/quote]

It's not my ideal to have my children conceived in a petri dish with a dude that was lrftover.[/quote]
