Gaya
I am 33, and have never been married. I spent a good part of my 20's being single and living alone in NYC and traveling extensively for my dance career (Mexico, India, Spain, etc) I constantly get harassed about why I am not married. I can't go to the 7-11 without having the man behind the counter ask me if I am married or have a boyfriend. (None of your darn business, I think to myself, and walk out without saying a thing.)
I have chosen to remain single instead of settling, and I have a fabulous life. I love my work, I am a dance teacher, I am studying French in my free time, I watch whatever movies I like in any of the three languages I speak fluently. I recently left an abusive relationship, and he keeps sending me mean and nasty emails. I don't care because hey, it just proves that he is nuts.
I am physically and emotionally strong and I have no tolerance for women who tell me things like, "Well, I don't want to break up with my boyfriend, because then I won't have anyone to travel with." Go by yourself! Or with me! DUH. Or friends of mine who are "separated" from their husbands, and say things like, "Oh, well, I need HIM to lift that . . " when they have never even tried, or asked me to help. Or when they say things like, "How am I supposed to go out and date again?" Um, the same way that the rest of us do. It definitely seems that being a single, independent woman gets you branded as a Heartless Bitch, by men who can't have you, and by women who could never deal with being alone.
