It has taken me nearly two years to realize it but I think I missed the memo. In my previous life I went to a university where my graduating year had 6147 students and 56% were married. You can guess which end of that percentage I was on. At the time there were jokes about me missing the point of my four years there as I had not found a husband. I laughed them on in a lavish rich person way, at least that is how I am recreating it, ah ha ha ha ha (imagine it lavishly). So off I went. Unmarried and without ties to tie or just ties. So then I did the sensible thing and chose to pursue even further education. Welcome to my life. As said life continued I read a lot of things and didnt consider myself as having missed reading something. Until now.
I must have missed a memo. That is the only explanation. Almost every single person I knew well during my years as an undergrad has a spouse. You may think I am exaggerating but I am not. I would say there are about 5 people graduated from the aforementioned attended school that I know that are not married. Even my friends little sibilings are getting engaged. This leads me to the thought that maybe that was a place for marriage. Maybe I should have spent more time dating and less time in the library. And if everyone I know has found their husband there then where do I find one?
Maybe that was one memo I shouldnt have missed.
He's coming to you, I promise :) He is just a little bit lost!
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way. I don't know what percentage of my graduating class was married, but I don't rally concentrate on that because I don't relate to them very well. Of my commissioning class of 21 though, only two of us are neither married or engaged.
ReplyDeleteI (hopefully) irrationally feel that my chance to get married was while at school, and now that i'm part of the real world, that chance had passed.
On a somewhere related note, it's impossible to not fall in love with you after taking a peek at your heart and mind. You should slip prospective guys a business card with your blog on it. They'll fall in love with you in no time
