i don’t get it either and never have. some of the things people have said to me, directly indirectly and even here on tattle, just scream of their own insecurities tbh. some people just cannot see outside of themselves or what they think the “norm” is.What I never understand is why it bothers other people so much. They have their own partner and kids so why does it unsettle them so much?!
So many people are co-dependent, they truly cannot understand why other people are not (that’s what I tell myself anyway!i don’t get it either and never have. some of the things people have said to me, directly indirectly and even here on tattle, just scream of their own insecurities tbh. some people just cannot see outside of themselves or what they think the “norm” is.
Anyone that feels the need to judge other people's lives always have big insecurities of their own. They probably feel they wouldn't be able to cope alone if their parner left, so seeing single people is triggering that fear, or they might want to leave but feel that they can't and envy single peopleWhat I never understand is why it bothers other people so much. They have their own partner and kids so why does it unsettle them so much?!

I honestly think that so many people can’t get their heads around being alone. I rarely see any relationships I would consider to be healthy. Why on earth would you want to be with someone who makes you unhappy? Been there done that and I value myself and my peace too much to do it again.They're scared/jealous of us non conformists
I couldn’t agree more & was thinking something similar earlier! I’m treated like I’m not a complete adult, despite owning a house & a rental property (which I look after myself), a car, a dog and a demanding full time job, all while trying to maintain a social life. I have a lot of responsibilities in my life and yet the perception from some is that I’m still not fully grown up yet as I haven’t got a partner, very strange.I am single and enjoy it. That’s not to say if I met someone I wouldn’t be interested. But I don’t actively pursue dating / apps or whatever. So, chances of meeting someone are slim! But one thing I hate about being single is the assumption that you are somehow less complete. Less settled. Less stable! It’s infuriating…… I own a house, car by myself - and have a steady, good job. And yet, I’m deemed less settled than others because of my relationship status. It’s unfair.
A lot of women are threatened by the presence of a single woman- they think you’re going to try to ‘steal’ their fuckwad of a husband.What I never understand is why it bothers other people so much. They have their own partner and kids so why does it unsettle them so much?!
Yeah, I can't even chat to a male neighbour as they get called in - doesn't matter what age they are. Seems I'm a threat right up till they pop their clogs.A lot of women are threatened by the presence of a single woman- they think you’re going to try to ‘steal’ their fuckwad of a husband.
Me too! I was thinking the other day don’t think I could enjoy the awkwardness of being with someone else’s family for a significant amount of time.Just to say I bloody love this thread and I'm so glad I don't have to deal with the mind-numbing politics of going to a partner's family for Christmas or New Year
Yes, I have experienced a lot of this! Also when I meet men now they are quick to mention they are married. Like I’m gonna try it on with them or somethingA lot of women are threatened by the presence of a single woman- they think you’re going to try to ‘steal’ their fuckwad of a husband.
I find Christmas much easier now I'm single.Just to say I bloody love this thread and I'm so glad I don't have to deal with the mind-numbing politics of going to a partner's family for Christmas or New Year
