Said a well meaning relative today. Followed by " ive been quite lucky " gosh as she is divorced to a knob I must be bad! What pisses me off is that I never wanted to end up single but here I am and making the best of it whilst finally learning to ditch knob heads asap. Why this wierd pressure to find any man just ti save one from singleton? Why this kind of horrid pity? Why this lind of smugness amongst thise who have another half ( vile term anyway ) towards those who dont? Im not quite happily single but getting there! I dont want people to point to the blooming obvious!

"I find the people who tell you how lucky you are to be single more annoying, myself."

GRRRRR!!! I've had this one down the pub on more than one occcasion during my single times.

Comments to the effect of:

"You've got the right idea mate, never get married, women are a pain in the arse."

"Had to watch the football upstairs in the bedroom cos she's watching Eastenders, of course, you don't have that problem do you mate."

And so on and on and on...

When you're single, everyone can comment!

I was in the supermarket yesterday and the cashier commented on my one potato (odd shape) and I said its only for mash so I don't mind. She then cocked her head and said 'Do you live on your own?' (sad face from her) I said yes. And then she said 'don't you want children?' (?!) I said I do but I've not met anyone yet and she replied 'well, there's still time yet, hope you meet someone soon, I'm sure you will!'

So I'm getting relationship advice from Morrisons staff now! It did make me laugh though.
