Me...@Britt, yup, how interesting about your uncles! Men definitely don't face the same judgment that women do. I don't think being single as a woman is ever easy but especially as you get older... still I think there is a lot of value in having time to become secure in yourself like you said.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03497289912197443753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6028740467286466743.post-64978679220895886952010-08-08T09:25:31.899-07:002010-08-08T09:25:31.899-07:00I was single throughout most of my university days...I was single throughout most of my university days and felt very much like damaged goods because of it. I didn't necessarily want to be in a relationship, but there was definitely pressure to do so. Now that I'm about to be married, I'm grateful for that time I had to figure myself out and to just be alone with me. It really was needed. <br /><br />I have two uncles (one on each side) who are still single. Funny, because they don't seem to face the same pressure as a single woman in their 40's would. Everyone chuckles and calls them the perpetual bachelors.Britthttp://xoxb.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6028740467286466743.post-63567511955635401452010-08-05T01:47:34.393-07:002010-08-05T01:47:34.393-07:00I've been thinking more about this lately too!...I've been thinking more about this lately too! Mostly I've been thinking a lot about what you said and then thinking about my own family experiences (where in a family of 6 kids--4 women, two men--1 of the women married and three didn't) and how that shaped my views of marriage/singleness/self. I think because I grew up with strong role models who were both married and single, I was never under the impression that one was superior to the other or one was deficient or anything. (I think especially when you're a kid, you don't really question anything and 'society' at large has no real bearing on your more direct experience, so from a young age it seemed totally normal to me both for a woman to be married and not be married, and there wasn't any kind of stigma attached either way.) And growing up, actually, I didn't really expect to get married, and while the thought was something of a bummer because I wanted to, I don't know that I ever tied it to self-worth necessarily. (Ha, THAT issue manifested itself in other ways entirely ....) But I've definitely been thinking about that a lot lately. If I ever have kids/girls especially, I definitely want them to grow up feeling like either choice is totally valid; I really appreciate growing up with that mentality and I'd love for my maybe-future-kids to feel that way too. I think for me just being around people who were married without kids, married with kids, and single was really great, because then I grew up with that model of knowing that you can be happy and fulfilled and live a meaningful life in whatever situation. I hope I'm able to provide that kind of environment for my own kids someday.<br /><br />This got really long. Haha. Especially because I feel like I've mentioned all this to you already. The end. But I'm excited to see what others say!<br /><br />P.S. It's really weird to me that I've pretty much ONLY known you/our group when I was already with Jesse. I definitely feel like in terms of like ... formative life experiences/self worth stuff/etc., that all happened when I was single (which was all my life before that). SUPER WEIRD to think about.<br /><br /><3!Kelly Loy Gilberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07631392902817058541noreply@blogger.com
