FACT.

Amongst the married, I would always both feel uncomfortable (myself) but also be given side-eyes as though I was the least to be trusted in social groups.

*and that was in my 20s*

Now, at age 44, it's only poetic justice when I boast of all the adultery I've witnessed betwixt the married (family, friends and strangers).

I've been happily Single/Never Married for the last 10+ years (and celibate).

The same associates like to joke and speculate of what I am doing with my time "alone" and I assure them that it isn't what they think! Ha!

I redirect all of that Chi/Energy and Hormones into more productive resources, like reading, writing, exercise, yoga/stretching, learning/observing, and caring for my family.
