    How My Co-Worker Single Shamed Me

    single shamed

    Apparently single-shaming is an epidemic, and I have become its latest victim. At work, while discussing random mundane things with a co-worker I am not really friends with. You know that co-worker that always has something to say and you just pretend type on your computer while they stand at your desk yammering, in hopes that they’ll go away…that co-worker. During the one-sided chat, the topic of money jumped into the conversation, which went a little something like this: 

    Me: I usually work 2 jobs.
    Co-Worker: Well yah, you’re SINGLE.
    Me: That’s not why. My work ethic-
    Her: My husband makes good money and I don’t have to worry about that.
    I don’t have to worry about whether there is enough.

    I guess being single equates to being a broke, lonely loser. Women are shamed for being single, while men are praised for it. I’m a lonely loser for being single, but a man my exact age, is a “player”. And the fact that I work, sometimes two jobs, and live on my own, pay all of my own bills, and am independent, means nothing because at thirty-six years old…I am single…and a loser, according to her.
