Mz Socially Awkward… March 29, 2013 at 6:24 pm
@ Segun, I know too many single people (both male and female) who are dealing with a majority of the issues you’ve just listed – paying rent, building or buying property, paying for a car.
I think you’re a little shortsighted by calling them “grown-up issues”.
Some of said single people have also taken up responsibilities like paying the school fees of junior siblings/relatives and may be living with those wards.
You’re making your point backwards because I also know quite a few married men who stay borrowing money (from the bank or from their friends) & have refused to act like grown ass men.
The only thing I expected you to point out in regards to how married life changes you is that you now need to cut down on time with your friends because you’re spending that valuable time on this very important commitment in your life and trying to build a happy, fulfilled home.
Therefore your criteria for terminating friendships which aren’t healthy shouldn’t have anything to do with “single-people-who-don’t-get-it versus married people”, it should be based on realizing (like one commenter here already pointed out) what values these people have and whether those values are aligned to yours.
