Stop asking when I am going to get married. Stop asking me why I'm not dating. Don't mention how I need to have children soon before age catches up with me. Stop saying I should date a certain someone. I'm amazed at how married people say things like this as though I want to hear it, or need to hear it, or that it is appropriate.
I'm sorry if this sounds blunt, rude or anger-filled. It's not. But I hate being reminded of my single state and how little control I have over it. I desire all the above mentioned things and am FULLY aware that I don't have them. The struggle to be content as a single adult is an ever-present battle.
Ok, I'm done.

Oh, Mindy, I'm so sorry people say things like that to you. I really am. It's kind of like when people keep asking married people how many kids they're planning on having. I hate that question! It's none of their business! Anyway, I would hug you if I could (and not give you any pat answers about God being in control, because that's irritating too! Of course you know that!). Hang in there, girlfriend!
GOOD FOR YOU! I'm so glad that you are willing to say that! Life is difficult enough without others adding to the struggle!
