Yes and no. Not sure she would have been invested in the motherhood thing, but I’m also 72 with no kids or grandkids.
I am wondering that since I’m a married woman with kids (and one grandchild) that my circle includes women of the same mindset. I honestly can’t think of one woman in my life that is a childless, unmarried woman. The only “single” women I know are either widowed or divorced but have children.
Perhaps because you are divorced without kids, you know that side of things, and I know the other. Our worlds do collide, but rarely, and maybe only in the virtual world. Who knows?
Either way, I never meant to suggest that your insight wasn’t true, just that my own observation is also valid. We likely live in different worlds.
