The Soliloquy of a Woman Who Married Late

Being single is NOT a C-R-I-M-E, neither is marrying late!!!  Translated…

I’d recently read a book on the psychology of the unmarried, as I read through the book, I’d recalled how I was, once, discriminated against at a job interview as a sales representative.

The interviewer was a middle aged man in his forties, he saw my marital status as being “unmarried” on my résumé, he’d opened up his eyes so wide, and asked me, “Are you single, never married, or, are you, single after the divorce?”, I’d felt that the question was odd, but, I’d answered it just the same, told him it was the former.

fnding the RIGHT person you want to spend the rest of your life with is WAY more important than following the “trends” of getting married, not my photograph…

Then, he’d, scanned me from head to toe, smiled and told me, “If you want to work in sales, you need to pay careful attention to the way you look, I suggest that you get your hair permed, it will, add more to you.”, afterwards, he’d had me go home and think on it a few days, then, if I were still interested in working, I can call to schedule an interview.  And, as I’d thought about it after I got home, I’d not like this manager who discriminated against unmarried women, and so, I’d, given up that opportunity.

Five years later, on a friendship website, I’d met a middle-aged man with whom I’d clicked, after six months of being in love, we’d, marched down the aisles, and, it’d, saved me the embarrassments of me having to explain to others why I was still single.  But back then, I’d left the workforce, and became, a full-time housewife.

Actually, I always wanted to marry, it’s just, that I’d spent my youthful days waiting on the right man, but, he’d not shown up, and, right at the moment when I was about to give up, the Goddess of Love granted me my wish.  I believe, that people who are able to live well as singles, can totally live well too in a marriage; but, the key to having a successful marriage is, both individuals must put up with one another’s ways of doing things, or, learn to communicate their needs to one another openly.

you’re both maturer which means that you’re better able to work through your differences, when you married later on in life, not my photograph…

I’d passed through forty-one years of single life, and, I’d entered into marriage for five years now, and for now, I’m, adapting, just fine.  If I can live until I’m a hundred, half of my life was spent, living single, the other half, living as someone’s wife, that’s, not bad at all.

This still just shows, how MANY discriminations still existed in the world right now.  So, what IF we’re still single and in our mid-thirties, early forties, huh?  Some of us may NOT ever want to get married, and others may just haven’t found the RIGHT men yet, whichever way, whether or NOT we are married, shouldn’t have an impact on IF we can get hired or fired from a job, and that’s still GENDER discrimination that’s currently existing in this modern-day world, and, we ARE, living, IN the modern day world, aren’t we???  Or, did my TIME MACHINE CRASH, somewhere in the 1700s or 1800s again, huh???
