'My Friends Are Married' Tumblr Reveals Thoughts On Singlehood

I found this article interesting. I am recently single after a10 year on and off again relationship (back on for almost 5 years) and find it disheartning at times, while happy for them that all my friends are getting married and/or having children. They keep telling me to put myself out there and go on a few dates, but its only been 2.5 months and I am enjoying being single for now. I joined an online dating site and have some reservations and am interested in the Meet Up goups insted for a less imtinating way to meet new people. Anyway I found the below article great, because it makes me feel like I am not the only one going through this.

"My friends are getting married, and I'm just 25 and drunk."
So goes the theme of #myfriendsaremarried, a recently launched Tumblr that addresses many of the unfortunate situations, cliched advice, inappropriate questions and harsh judgements that single women sometimes face.

Oh, and the aforementioned scenarios are all addressed through hilarious GIFS.

Sure, this Tumblr may not be the first page to play around with the contrast between the lives of people getting married and those still enjoying singlehood -- there was a similarly named Facebook group created a while back -- but there's plenty of material to go around when it comes to some of the issues that single women encounter, such as arriving at a party only to learn its all couples, for example.

The Tumblr pokes fun at not only the well-meaning words that married friends tend to pass on to their single friends -- such as "you need to put yourself out there more" and "you'll find love when you stop looking" -- but also the subtle forms of admonishment that can come from those friends if you're, say, going out a lot, ending a relationship that isn't working, or having trouble moving on from an ex.

And in case the married friends of this Tumblr author have anything to say about her page, she already has a response: "Oh please. You guys love me. I keep it real and I'm hilarious."
