SF – I sympathize, what with having a younger sister who is married, owns property, and has Baby #1 on the way and all I have is…a law degree? Hmmm. Hard to compare. However, working in a courthouse in a county with about 4000 people, and having at least two divorces come across my desk every week, it’s clear there are a lot of unhappily-ever-after people out there. It’s also clear that a lot of people cave and get married because they “should”, or “it’s time”, or “it’s the thing to do”, or they “just want to get it over with”, etc. So while Hallmark doesn’t make a “Congratulations, you didn’t marry the wrong guy!” card, there’s something to be said for staying true to yourself and holding out for Mr. Right.

Also on that note, do you ever watch Sex and the City? Sometimes if I am in a single slump, I like to watch episode #83, A Woman’s Right to Shoes, or episode #50, The Real Me. Really I like the whole series in general just because it makes me laugh and it’s always comforting to know that other people go through single slumps too (enough to make a 6-season show about it!!!)

Oh yeah, the “…And Guest”. I remember it well. And not fondly. Seriously the bane of every single girl’s existence (second only to the bouquet toss….*shudder*).

Don’t feel bad for getting upset about this stuff. It can be upsetting!! It is not easy to be a single girl in a world of couples. So you are perfectly within your right to take a moment every now and again to wallow in it.

*Hugs*

Much love honey. You are FABULOUS and there aren’t many guys out there who deserve to be your +1!

And don’t forget that there’s a downside (more than one actually) to that sparkly diamond ring and it’s called IN LAWS. Seriously.

Also don’t forget that brides that give you an “and guest” are really just being polite because they have the option to just invite you alone, and in a way, isn’t that worse, the idea that you couldn’t possibly come up with a date? Plus the “and guest-ers” are the special friends that brides really want to accommodate . . .

I know how you feel about June Gloom. The worst are the days where it doesn’t burn off, it just hangs overhead and stays gray all day. For a day or two I’m okay, but when it goes on for a week I go a bit nutty.

We always want and see what we don’t have. Heck, when I went to the IJ premier, all I saw in the audience were happy couples (of which I am not one) and groups of friends (none of my few wanted to go). I’m sure there were other solo geeks in the audience, but I didn’t see ‘em. Or maybe my brain wouldn’t let me. On the plus side, you’re getting the dates lately, so perhaps Mr. Other will wander along sooner than you think…

you have every right to be upset. the emotions of being single and showing how much it doesn’t bother you usually hits a head at some point. and for me it happens with tears that come out of no where. it’s ok though : )
