Men don’t have a monopoly on loneliness….
The loneliness crisis for women is real. Single women, childfree women, married women, all of us. But some more than others and for different reasons. I think it’s important to remember how lonely I was in bad relationships. Nothing compares to that. But it’s also lonely as a single childfree woman in a world where most women my age we married with kids. It’s a different kind of lonely. So I thought it was important to acknowledge that kind of loneliness bc I knew it so well. I loved being single but not every second! Sometimes I hated it! I was used to it. I preferred it over relationships back then bc I only knew being single or in a bad relationship, not a healthy one . I will always prefer single over the loneliness of a bad relationship where you aren’t seen. But even still. I think it’s ok to talk about that loneliness in a society that punished and judges and isolated single women too.
