My cousin and I were just discussing how we hated hearing about people getting married or having kids- no offense to anyone here....for the most part, we mean people we know offline, particularly people around our age. For instance, it didn't bother me to see someone on here saying they were having a child. It's just that my mother always tells me about people we know that I grew up with or that are around my age, etc. getting married or pregnant, etc. It always bothers me because I know I'll never be married, I feel bitter and hurt when it comes to love, and I may never have kids. My cousin is 18 and has never dated and says the same thing bothers her. Also, we both agreed that we hate being asked if we're dating anyone, if we're married, or anything of that nature.

Not long after my boyfriend of nearly 4 and a half years left me, someone asked me if I was married. When I said no, they looked at my mother and said, "Well, you'll always have that one with ye." I didn't say it, but I thought that was rude, even if it was true.

My mother says she wants to see me have a normal life and she sees these other girls getting married, having kids, graduating college, getting jobs, buying cars and homes, etc. The thing is, yes it is my fault about college, the job, the material things, etc., but why does she have to throw up the kids and the marriage?! *Sighs*

Also, for some reason, she makes comments fairly often about men. I asked to use her cell recently and she joked that she didn't know, she might better not, cause I might be going to call a man. Then she joked today- cause I'm goin for a few days to Texas- that I might be lookin for a cowboy down there. Some other man also said something about betting I had a lot of boyfriends and on V-DAY, even though I was at a political event several people told the girls happy V-Day. Also, my mom's fiance sometimes commetns when I'm a little dressed up and leaving the house that I must have a date- yeah, right. I'll never have another real date. Don't these people understand that this upsets me?! Sometimes I just want to tell people that I don't ever want to hear jokes about my imaginary boyfriends they conjure up, or me man-hunting, or getting married, or getting dressed up to attract men, or anything else, and that I don't want to be asked about my romantic or sexual life, and I don't want to hear about that of everyone I've ever known.

There are more things I hate being asked or told about, but right now, I want to know- what bothers you? What do you hate being asked? What do you hate being told?
