That's another one I hadn't thought of: why you aren't married. You have your reasons and I'm sure others have theirs. I know some guys and girls have problems meeting and establishing relationships and that can be a touchy issue.
As with all the other personal questions, you have to expect someone asking them. It goes with being around people. They shouldn't go beyond asking the first question, though. It should go something like, "Married?". "No, I'm not". "Oh. Ok". Taking it further is beyond just rude.
No--I don't think so Frannie---but as a guy of a certain age--I was just sharing some of the stupid stuff I have heard about remaining unmarried all these years--I would bet that for ladies---they really hear some crazy stuff regarding why they never married or had children since of course---women are supposed to be married, have kids and aren't "complete" unless they have a man---I pretty much long ago got past the point of not giving a crap if other people felt comfortable with me not being married and such----but I have to say that I really do feel for ladies that decided they were flying solo in their lives, you can be sure they had to put up with some wagging tongues!! I am sure as hell glad I wasn't a female and lived life in the same way.

Being asked why she isnt married grates on me sister Voltie.. she is over 5 years older than me, has had a few long relationships but is still single and with no sign yet of a big day on horizon.. when I got engaged to me x hubbie, when I got married it began and continued in earnest. She had been asked before and it irked but she laffed it off.. but after then she began to get rite ratty bout it... zif it's any 1's biz.
I of course give 'er a hard time... tellin' peeps who ask such daft questions that no 1 will have ''er... wud u marry girl who dresses in ole tatty sacks and wears clogs? that she is old maid and am sendin' er zimmer for 'er xmas or birfday... she used 2 get ratty at that but she knos I luff 'er and it actually helps shut peeps up.. cos has learned the banter we have bout me bein a tart and jumped at 1st person that would have me cos I wos so desperate ...wich is wy I put it 'bout with all and sundry cos it was quickie and then theyd had enuff... she she says is much more discerning... is a distraction from the inanity of their questioning..
But seriously she is luffly... and has a ball...why should she marry? And she scowls summat awful at times when the question is posed... if they r 2 persistent and shuts them up wiv acidic comment or 2 like.. "well ur catch wasnt up to much was he" or "what and be mizzy as sin like u? Bugger off.." and occasionally.. "No 1 is good enuff for me... I don't dredge bottom of the barrel like some peeps" and glowers at them very knowingly... have noticed of l8 her beau's are becoming a bit ( bloody gud bit an all lemme say) younger... tsk tsk... cant c 'er marrying ne of them... occasionally she has a gf... yea.. she is bisexual but she kept that dark from everyone until just a few years ago... and I notice they too are invariably a good bit younger... Mum would like to c 'er settle down... man preferably, but just be happy wiv ne 1 she loves... dunno if it will ever happen... doubt it will as long as she is having fun... she has never been seriously in luff.. but would dearly like 2 fall.. she certainly wont marry just for appearances that's for sure... and why should she?
I admire me big sister.. she mite well b ole maid (tho hardly a maid.. tee hee).. but she is triff and is happy and is gr8 fun... she has gud life.. lots of luff interest.. gud job.. nice house... expensive clothes and shoes (expensive as opposed to tasteful.. we do have diff of opinion on that!!).. foreign hols every year... wy wud she want some daft bugger to move in and destroy it? So is it surprising wen ne 1 asks 'er bout not bein' married they better b careful cos it will b them comes off worst!! But they still do and its fun 2 c how she wafts them in2 touch...

Do not think so little of me as to grant me your tolerance. Allow me your acceptance and understanding of who and what I am with the love, respect and dignity with which I do you.
