Singleness
So Craig thought that he had some in depth knowledge of being a woman, who hasn't had children, and wanted to, when he wrote this post. Then he got himself further into the discussion, and had 146 comments here.
Then finally he wrote this rather sensitive article .
To which I posted after no one else seemed to actually be saying anything helpful (*except Karen, of course :)
And now, finally, the SMH has actually hit the nail more on the head! Astonishing!
Scary how much I agree with this bit in particular:

Owners of the singles advocate blog, Onely, came up with this list of the types of statements couples would be forced to endure:
"Don't worry, you'll get a divorce someday."
"Oh, you're married? I'm so sorry!"
"You're so great - how come you're still married?"
"It's OK to be married for a while but eventually you need to grow up and become single."
"You're so lucky to be married and not have as much responsibility."
"But don't you feel bad not having a life, seeing as you're married?"
"When are you going to get a divorce?"
"It's so sad having to come home to a house with someone in it all the time."
"Well, I would've invited you to book group, except you're married and I thought you wouldn't want to be around all those happily single people."
I was gonna blog on that extract as well! But it hasn't happened to me very much, so I thought maybe I wouldn't.
