When you're single, people ask why you're not dating.
When you're dating, people ask when you're going to get married.
When you're married, people ask when you're going to have kids.
Dude, why do people ask these questions? WHY? I mean, if you haven't already known the answer, it probably means that there's nothing you need to know. And it's not like your asking the question is going to change anything.
Not surprisingly, when you're 30 and in a relationship, the question "so, when are you gonna get married?" comes up in just about every social gathering you attend. And if you say "I don't know", or "no plan yet", they (after some awkward pause) always give you this sympathetic look, like something must be wrong and they're sorry for you. Gosh, how I hate that.
Why is it a bad thing, that I'm not married yet? Whether I'm single, in a relationship, or married without kids, I can be perfectly happy with my current stage of life - why are people so obsessed with when I'm going to move on to the next? Can't I just stay here and be happy? And can't they just accept the fact that I AM happy and be happy about it too?
When there's news to share, I will tell. For now, I don't know. There's no plan yet.
Fank Q for (not) asking.
