[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unmade bed, used ppe and old Chinese on the floor suggest a gal who's so depressed she can't even take care of herself. Yet when she goes to visit her family over the holidays (likely in flyover country), she'll posture she's happy with an exciting job in the big coastal city, and is just way too busy for a serious relationship. Meanwhile her "simple" cousins she always secretly judged never left the hometown's region, they became nurses, teachers or stay at home moms — they're married with kids and a mortgage.[/quote]

What makes you think she'd be any less depressed with 10 kids and a low-wage job in a flyover state?

If getting married and having kids was SUCH a great deal, then more women would chose it.  Conversely, if it's so great, why the need to be so defensive about women who don't chose it ...

I'm married with a good job and a kid and a mortgage, and let me tell you, I do NOT feel like I have such a great life compared to my single friends.  During the pandemic I have been a little worried sometimes about them being alone, but I have much more often wished I could trade places with them!  [/quote]
