[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This board is full of women whose greatest (and perhaps only) accomplishment was getting married. They literally can't understand women who didn't make The Ring their one and only goal.[/quote]

NP. I agree with this. It is incomprehensible to some women that not every woman wants to get married.[/quote]

I will never, ever forget when one of my closest male friends told me - in our 20s - that I'd better hurry up and settle down because all the good ones were going to be taken. He was bitterly divorced by the time I did get married in my late 30s. (He's doing ok now - new partner who is also divorced; they seem good together - but, ya know.)

Anyway, just to say - people generally have a hard time imagining anyone making a different life choice than they did. Or having different priorities. Or things not working out ofr them the same way. I think you might be sensitive to the comments about being married because it's on your mind - but it's not just re: getting married. It's anything that you are doing at a different pace, or in different ways, than what they perceive to be "normal."

To heck with them. [/quote]
