Married Women Vs Single Women

Mrs P
I was watching an episode of Sex and the City called the Bay of Married Pigs. The episode is about married people and single people and how they feel towards each other. Well, it's more about how married women feel about their single friends. And it got me thinking, is there really a cold war between married women and single women?

There was a part in this episode where a married woman said that she felt bad about her single friends, that's why she always hangs around her married friends. I've never really felt that way myself. I love being around my single friends but I do like being around my married friends more just because they can relate to me. We can talk about married life without making anyone feel uncomfortable. I can't really do that with my single friends because it is not something they have first hand experience. But I have never felt bad about my single friends for being single. It is their choice and I respect that. Just like it was my choice to get married and live my life the way I want to.

I did ask a few of my married friends about this and they told me that they don't feel bad about their single friends at all. One of them actually said that she's a little jealous because her single friends get to do what they want without worrying about their significant other. But none of them actually said that they feel bad for their single friends because what is there to feel bad about? We all have the right to live the life we want to and we all have a choice. I chose to get married and I am happy with that choice. It is up to us to live our lives the way we want to. And plus, we shouldn't judge anyone because they choose to be single.

I guess the answer to the question about the cold war between married women and single women is no. There really isn't one. There are those who feel differently about their single friends but it doesn't apply to everyone. We all have different opinions on things and this is mine. I guess we just have to learn to accept people the way they are and how they live their lives. And if not, why are we even calling them our friends?

    Very interesting. I am single and have a lot of married friends. However, some of my college friends did drop everyone the moment they got married !.

    I remember when I got married, my single friends seemed sort of "lonely" and sad..but when my hubby and I got into an argument then my single friends seemed much more independant and smart !!!..:)

    You brought out some good points. One friend (now an ex-friend) changed when she got married. She started treating me coldly and when her children came along that was it really. She acted like we had nothing in common anymore and kept dropping hints about when I was going to get married. I've been married for nearly 6 years now and have come to see that such people are not really friends at all, so I do not keep in touch with her.

    Very Interesting! I think whatever you are, you will always be able to relate to a person that is going through the same thing as you.
