I just can't believe what the other neighbor said to me yesterday when I saw her at one of our tenants place. I rarely see this woman because of her business in sewing.
Anyways, she probably said that because his son who was also my childhood friend is married with two kids.
Some people really think this relationship and marriage thing is for everybody. I don't know if i should be annoyed or just laughed it off
Can't they just respect me for being single.18 people like this

You are not alone .
When i was already 30 and wasn't married yet but have a boyfriend , now my husband , the married people at the bank where i was working then , keeps pestering me that this and that is already married . So, in short they keep pestering me why i can't get married yet .
Just don't mind them . Or maybe just give them an acidic answer .

@Letranknight2015 An example is : Why , does it affect you that i am not married yet ? And when you say that , your face should be non-smiling at all . Then , leave .

well, I chose to be single because I'm simply not ready for a relationship both financially and mentally @T_gray

@Letranknight2015 Those are good reasons. I know mentally I am not ready for a relationship either. I also chose to be single so I understand.

its becoming a norm i guess. when youre at the right age with a decent job and everybodys settling down, you become the center of the attention.
well i guess your neighbor is too happy to share her sons married life and she wants you to experience it too.

I don't know about that. I guess she doesn't know about me not having a decent job or even settled. She didn't even shared his sons married life or something. She was just probably curiously joking about me being single @MGjhaud

It seems that people make everything their business. My sister has never married, and people judge her about it as well. She has no interest in marrying, and likes the single life. My brother and I are also judged because we do not have children. It seems everyone thinks it is a sin that at a certain age, if you have not gave birth then there is something wrong with you. People need to stop meddling in other people's business.

I just don't get it though @slund2041 but so far I was not judge here but maybe some of them were just worried in a way. Besides, they're not the ones helping you if your in trouble, i mean would they help if you have marital problems? i don't think so.

Hello @Teep11 they just realized that they're not compatible with each others as years go by. I guess right now it's a choice for me to be single, i don't feel the need for that kind of love since Im not that mature.

Hello @anh101 they came back with child or not? well it's our right to decide wether we should have a relationship or not.

@anh101 well, that's life they chose to risk it. at least she's not alone, having her child is better than retaining the husband who just doesn't do his job.

@Letranknight2015 of course she brings children with her. But not only one case, in my this place there has 2 cases the same. I wonder why people love to have much worries in their life

Every time people ask me why I'm still single, I always give them smart comebacks to keep their mouth shut. I love looking at their faces.

I agree it happens to me way back when I am almost turning 30, well they got sense cause If you have a child It is more advisable to have them in your 25's or early 30's . I have a 2 year old son now and sure wish I have given birth earlier so I can enjoy the bonding moments with my kid as you watch them grow, and grow old with them.Now I'm freaking out counting , what age am I when he turn 10,18 and so forth..

I don't care what she just said, even she mentioned she got married with out any sort of money, which was stupid for me. 
. I'd wish i never have to talk to her again, some people just dont' mind their own business anyways.

You often hear that from the elderlies in the province. Sometimes it's annoying how some people would tell you "Why are you not getting married yet?". It's not their business anymore though of course, it is in our culture to respect them so you just got to give them a smile as an answer.

Hello @LdeL0318 I wonder if that would shut them up if they ask me that question. Anyway, I will try your suggestion, unless they persist. Some people just don't know when to respect your status.

That is not fair! @sjvg1976 for me, that's discrimination because it's your choice to have a relationship and get married. I can't believe it's still happening in there, it's the 21st century now.

Owie..don't mind the older folk too much it's just their harmless banter. They're just making their small talk with youngsters but don't quite know which topics to use. They don't even know that people may feel slightly put off by that topic.
