Has this happened to you? You're married, you go to a wedding, and you've been seated at a table with all of your married friends. Seated at a table next to you, or across the dance floor from you is a table full of your single friends. Sound familiar?
Let, me begin by stating that I am totally against this train of thought. I've just started to notice this great schism occurring increasingly the older I get. I happen to be part of the married brigade; however, beginning to think my attitude and resolve never left the world of the single woman.
First off, let me point out that in the 50's and 60's there was this wonderful thing that was fought for called Civil Rights. One of the main tenants is that people from different groups should not be segregated. Then why the heck do we separate married people from single people all the time? Those who are newly dating, from the not yet coupled, or SHOCK, may never be coupled. And that may not be such a bad thing. Hey, I'm married, I can tell you that first hand.
I've actually heard people say, well, were going to plan a weekend with just us couples to their single friends. What the heck does that mean? You can no longer hang out because I got the rock?
This makes me want to hang out with the single gals even more. Perhaps this tells me
something about my own life more than the rest of the world, but I still can't figure out why your single friends would become less important after getting hitched than they were before.
Married people definitely don't need to do everything together. Gag me with a wooden spoon. If you need to, then you should sell your identity on the internet, because I know loads of crooks would love your social security number.
