Singleness

Here's another article on being single. This one is brief and written by a single MAN. You might want to share this one with a few marrieds you know.

That's really an interesting article and I guess I never really thought about how marrieds interact with singles. See, I grew up with 2 aunts and one uncle who had never married (one of those aunts did marry in her late 40s though) so I never was phased by seeing people build a life alone. For me it's not the singleness (obviously, since I've been happily married for nearly 4 years) but children. I haven't, until recently, wanted to have children. I didn't feel motherly or maternal. I wanted only to focus on my education/career and not on babies screaming in the middle of the night or having smelly diapers. And having friends and family have oodles of babies never made it any easier.

But I want kids now and I suppose it's something I can think about. It's not the same as being married, I know, but in a way I can relate to not quite fitting into the peg society places us into.
