JUST BE YOURSELF DEAR, AS U HAVE ALWAYS BEEN.....CHEERS ME: I Hear you. Chat Conversation End This friend of mine just got married recently. I had asked the question about advantages of getting married expecting to hear him wax lyrical about the joys of getting married as experienced by him, not to hear him tell me I haven't passed the womanhood test. How many single eager-to-be married ladies are out there? Where are the men who should be passing their manhood test by making a commitment? As you can see, he left the convo in a huff. For what na? My unrepentant unmarried self was annoying him? Or Is there another interpretation to this I am missing? |
At work, i am surrounded by 24-26year old females who are ambitiously saving up to make a mortgage paydown and own their first home - with or without a husband.
Here i am, unable to carry out a mature conversation with a male peer without it being about my Marital Status. smh
