Single people: Does this happen to you too?

[Josie]

Around the holidays when I see family that I usually don't see on a daily basis, it never fails - someone always says "Are you married yet?" or "You're never getting married, are ya?" or "I know the PERFECT guy for you!" (when that family member barely knows you in the first place).

Blah.

I'm content being single at the moment. Why can't people just lay off? :crazy3:

On my wife's side for years one of her cousins was always asking when we were going to have kids. I told him I thought we were doing it wrong. :lol:

I can go you one better.

After 10 months of trying unsuccessfully to get my wife pregnant, my mother-in-law took me aside to give me advice on how to improve my chances of success.

I stopped her and asked, "Why are you teaching me how to **** your baby girl?"

Dead silence, jaw hanging in the wind.

:lol:

 

[Your Star]

Not really. Though I'm sure that will change once I get older.

 

[spud_meister]

I can't say I've ever had someone say they know the perfect guy for me.

Because there is no perfect guy for you. How can some one one up you?

 

[Real Korimyr #9]

My family still hasn't figured out I'm not gay.

 

[CaptainCourtesy]

I have very little contact with family, so it mostly comes from married friends. When they ask, "why are you still single", my response is, "I don't know, why are you still married"? They have no idea how to respond, and it usually stops them in their tracks.

 

[digsbe]

It does get very annoying. Why do people care? Why can't I be single and happy? People have the assumption that one must have "someone" to be happy, and they worry if you go through prolonged single phases.

You could be my perfect guy CC. :mrgreen:

Perfect is true. Yours... I don't think so. NO ONE owns me. :2razz:

 

[molten_dragon]

I never got that, but my wife and I get the 'when are you going to have kids' ALL the time. From everyone.

Tell them you are trying to have puppies first.

It's not that you can't be happy single, it's that they're happy not being single, and want you to have that happiness too.

Well, that and the fact that we're socialized to be happy doing certain things because they ensure the perpetuation of the society of which we are a part.

Earlier this year for April Fools Day my wife and I called up my parents and hers and told them my wife was a month pregnant. They both fell for it hook line and sinker. We didn't set them straight til the next day.

For some reason, they didn't think it was nearly as funny as my wife and I did.

Doesn't bother me. None of them have enough money that I'd regret not getting some of it.

Not even single and I get the exact same thing. "When are you going to have children", "When will you be married, soon you will be old and no man will want you"

And my personal favourite is the questions about the fertility of me and my partner :roll:

Whoever comes up with a way to get grandkids without having kids first, will be a multi-trillionaire.....

[TheGirlNextDoor]

I was married once upon a time for 15 years and I have kids, so the only thing family and friends bug me about is when they think they need to 'set me up' with someone. :roll:

If anyone related to me is reading this - just don't. :naughty

 

[Cold Highway]

My family pretty much knows that I refuse to discuss my love life.

My family still hasn't figured out I'm not gay.
