If Only...

Postby Spontaneo » 13 Jun 2025, 03:58

If only I were married…

In a perfect world, I could stay at home with the kids, cook and bake, work on crafts, read books, go shopping, wait for the husband to come home, pay the kids allowances for chores that they are taught, exercise, etc.

If only I were married…

It’s not a perfect world. All that I can do from the above is cook when I am hungry and work for pennies. I absolutely love my passion for accomplishing cookbook reviews but a nightmare about such cookbook reviews has myself terrified. So, I am running to the comfort of crafts.

If only I were married…

There are people that I have known my whole life that did crafts and were very productive. My loved ones have accomplished crafts and were good with their crafts. I was never talented. However, an acquaintance taught myself how to create scrap fabric wreaths. Bingo. How about create and sell scrap fabric wreaths? Now what is going to happen… have a nightmare about wreaths? Uuuugh

If only I were married…

I do have to think about money. Did you catch the above where I had mentioned “sell” the wreaths? I do not have a sugar daddy. If I have to work for money, than I need for the job has to be doing what I love.

If only I were married…

When I was in school, there was not an internet. Maybe now I can take up some free courses online? I just do not know what courses to further. I have an education in political science. I have an education in fitness and nutrition. Should I further a new field? What do you think? What is a field to further with my background?

If only I were married…

I would have a gentleman that would hold my hand, kiss on the cheek, cuddle, and be good to my loved ones. I have never been good enough. Things sure get lonely. My ex-boyfriends probably do not even know that I exist.

If only YOU were married…

Are you single also? Have you searched for a mate but had no luck? Did you further your education? Did you take on some new skills? What have you accomplished?

In conclusion, if you are married, why are we single women told that we do not need a man yet you do have a man? So, why do YOU have a man?

Besides the obvious good looks 😉
I want someone who knows how to communicate, they can express how they feel. When they are not okay with something, and when they are okay. A person who cares about how their actions affects me, person who is willing to learn and listen as well.

You are picky then? Have you ever had a relationship?

It's easy for me to say since I am married, but I will say what I would tell my own daughter- that I believe it's possible to lead a happy and fulfilling life without marriage, or even a romantic relationship. I think you just need to find something you're passionate about and pursue that and then maybe the right person will come along when you're not looking. Easier said than done, I'm sure, but I would think that must be better than just fixating on what you don't have.

One thing I can say from experience is that being married doesn't mean your life is all perfect either. I still need to work for a living, and I can still get lonely, and need to put effort into making friends/keeping up friendships, and finding things that make me happy.

Thank you for the input!

I simply tired of arguing with a girl roommate. Just a little while ago, we argued about groceries. I live on sandwiches! I get day-old bread from the food pantries! My Hammy Sammy require only bologna, pickles and mayonnaise and bread! My bread pizza requires pepperoni, mozzarella and bread! She has stomach problems and she always says that she cannot consume much. Who is at fault?

For many women, like myself, maintenance costs sky-high. My hairdresser charges $90.00 to begin with. Makeup, then, is astronomical. Do you like to smell good? Cha-Ching! Another pretty penny.

Do you want myself to look pretty up to your standards instead of natural, gentlemen? Sorry.

This is a very tough question and touches on the reality of the social advice people get on a regular basis. Single women are often told they don't need a man to show that happiness and self-worth don't depend on a relationship alone. But the truth is that married people also chose a partner for companionship and support. There is no big contradiction there, it's just perspective. The advice of "you don't need a man" aims at empowerment and building self-confidence. Marriage is also an individual choice. It's like a crow screaming at night, each person will hear it differently depending on their situation.

Nobody's life is perfect, not even the rich and famous are perfectly happy. Like you said in your article, life's not perfect and none of us are. I never thought I'd get married, I was quite happy being single until my husband came along and we both just clicked. I feel like most women who desperately chase marriage can often end with the wrong people. I would have been happy being single. My husband is my best friend. We have ups and down but for the most part, we are very, very happy. He works, I work and that suits us best. I could BEVER have been a stay at home mum. But we're all different and have different tastes. What works for me may not necessarily work for the next person.

I am not desperate, just lost without a man these days. I am happy for you.

It’s true that no one’s life is perfect; even the rich and famous face their challenges. We all experience ups and downs, that’s the reality of life. We often think that others are better than us, but beneath the surface of happiness, each of us has our own struggles. Accepting that life isn’t perfect gives us the opportunity to live authentically and be grateful for even the smallest accomplishments. This acceptance gives us inner peace and the strength to overcome challenges without constantly comparing ourselves to others. Ultimately, each of us has our own unique journey.

Starting a cloth weaving business is a great way to turn your skills into a full-fledged business. Even if you don't have natural talent, your hard work will earn you a living and bring you respect in the community.
