No, I really like being in a relationship...I mean even when I was a bit younger I thought it would be really nice to just be in a close relationship with someone where we're not embarrassed or putting on a front to impress the other, like just a genuine ' we love each other' relationship and I feel I have found that, even though we do have some conflicts. I mean I see nothing wrong with a woman who doesn't want a LTR, different strokes for different folks but I cannot say I would like that very much.
I'm laughing. You think us spinsters choose to be the rejects no one wants? I didn't choose to be alone. No one wanted me. A lot of us just have to learn to be content with the cards we were played.
Granted you do get women who never wanted to be in an LTR and shouldn't be pressured to be in one or be made to feel pitied.
My point was that spinster wasn't a shameful word in the past. She was an skilled woman who made her own money.
It's a complicated subject. Don't pity me, but don't assume I chose this, but don't make people who chose this feel lesser. So many facets.
