It used to sound abnormal but not anymore! People used to believe women need a man to function. Nope.

Two of my best girlfriends were never married. It wasn’t really something they planned. But that’s how it played out. They are both busy with hundred of other things, both have successful careers (one just retired), hobbies, friends etc I have several never married female colleagues and they also do lots of different things in life. As I got older I’ve made some new friends and I was pleasantly surprised how many single women are out there.

My daughter is probably your age Lark, or a bit older, she tells me many people her age aren’t considering marriage or kids

Times changed. You do what you want.
