Single people are people too

Can I just send out a timely little message now to all those 'smug couples' (quoting Bridget Jones, how low is my life going to get?!) out there in happy couple land that just because a single woman comes into your orbit, it does not mean that you are about to lose your husband to the great gaping jaws of infidelity. Grrrr!!!

In fact, as much as it shames me to say this, letting down the great global sisterhood and all, it seems to be other bloked-up women who unsheath their claws at me – blokes don't actually seem to give a shit where I sit in the relationship graph.

So girls, give me and all the other single gals a break. We are not all after your significant others. Most of us hate sharing as much as you do. There really is no need to make snarly comments along the lines of 'watch out! Keep your eye on [insert name of poor gal just trying to get through the day unscathed]' as comments such as these serve only two purposes: to make an uncomfortable moment, and to highlight your own glaring insecurities.

So stop it. It's not big and it's not clever.
