I also asked if that woman was a single mom and didn’t get a reply. I think we know why her friend is unmarried.
I confess that I’m troubled by the sheer quantity of judgementalism by a couple of women on this thread but, truth be told, I have my own judgementalism streak that I have to deal with. It annoys my wife.
To wit. We moved from Seattle to central, rural kentucky and I’m simply floored by the sheer quantity of FAT, Tatooed, chain smoking single women in their twenties driving around in barely running cars with a kid or three in tow.
They have sealed their fate at a VERY young age and, truth be told, are a product of their upbringing. And most of the folks here go to church. But it is more a cultural thing than a religious thing.
There is also a LOT of meth and other drug use among them.
And I can discuss some of the guys too, but with them it’s different attributes. Either would be poison to any of my kids.
Frankly, it just saddens me. Our culture has destroyed a lot of lives in rural America.
