I don't think that because I'm not married it's made my life any less. That old maid myth is garbage.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Some readers tell me, 'We always treated our maid like she was a member of the family.' You know, that's interesting, but I wonder what your maid's perspective was on that.
I'm an old-fashioned girl, and I didn't believe in living with people, so I guess I married for the wrong reasons at times.
You won't believe it, but for the first two years of our marriage I lived off my wife. Like every self-respecting man, I hated it.
Being married is kind of like being a Ken-doll; you don't get to dress yourself anymore.
I'm one of those people who has always been a bridesmaid.
Lives in previous centuries for women are largely a matter of class. It would have been fun to have been a rich, privileged woman in the 18th century, but no fun at all to be her maid.
Every marriage is a mystery to me, even the one I'm in. So I'm no expert on it.
To this day I clean better than most maids.
I have a maid.
Being an old maid is like death by drowning, a really delightful sensation after you cease to struggle.
