I am a spinster, old maid, maiden Aunt or whatever term people want to throw at me. Do I obsess over it? No. Do I let other people’s comments get to me? Rarely.
Would I like to be married? Of course.
Actually the worst comments and “pity” generally come from other single women. I don’t hang around with them because everything devolves into a disfunctional support group about not meeting anyone.
My married friends accept me as the one who never met anyone to settle down with and after watching the messes some of my siblings and cousins have made, my parents are fine with my life.

What do they say? And why do you suppose these women are still single when they obviously don’t want to be single?
