Why are you jealous of me?
So I was talking to a single friend of mine the other day. (You know who you are, you slimy bastard) We were talking about how different things are now that we are both getting older.
10 years ago, most of the married guys we know were jealous of the single guys. The freedom to do whatever you want, whenever you want, and the freedom of spending what you earn. Personally, I never really understood it, but I am a freak.
Now that we are in our thirties, we both agreed that the "still single" guys are often jealous of the married guys. I don't get that either. Maybe it's the wisdom of years that makes people want to be married. I don't know. Thats what we couldn't figure out.
I don't have the right perspective because I have always wanted to be married and have kids. (as far back as I can remember anyways) That, plus the fact that I am married to a smokin' hottie, means I haven't had to go through the "I wish I were single" days.
He, the slimy bastard, has been screwed over enough times that he doesn't want to get married. So, I guess we were talking in stereotypes that neither one of us fit. Maybe we were completely wrong.
It wouldn't be the first time.

Who is this single friend of yours....? sounds like someone I know....... Anyway, I think single people are not jealous of married people in general, they are jealous of married people who are happily married, such as yourself, i definately don't think that is the norm.
No one you know. Unless you are a stalker and watch me from the bushes.
Hmm.
Is that you?
Hmm.
Just a dude that I game with on occasion.
