Uncomfortable Questions


Recommended Posts

During family gatherings, the conversation will ALWAYS go this way:

 

Elder: Nag-asawa ka na ba?

Me: Hindi pa po.

Elder: Ilang taon ka na ba?

Me: 30 po.

Elder: Nagkaboyfriend na?

Me: Opo.

Elder: Asan boyfriend mo ngayon?

Me: I broke up with him last year.

Elder: Oh, e bakit single ka pa rin?

Me: By choice, tita/tito. Ineenjoy ko pa po ang pagiging single.

Elder (and this is the most annoying): Mag-asawa ka na tingnan mo si.... at si.... ilan na anak niya.

Me (in my head): Yeah, look at him/her... Tsk. Seriously?

Natawa ako dito, sa post ni dyosang ligaw. But seriously, what is wrong being a single by choice at 30's?

Common questions that I rather not hear than to avoid as a single by choice; Are you gay? WTF!!! Call me

Idealist if you want to, but what is wrong to build your own castle to imprison my own damsel in distress este to live with

my fated one (wow hanep hehe)

Questions that I find to be insensitive and not just uncomfortable:

 

On my special day:

 

"Buntis ka ba?"

 

Now:

 

"May anak na kayo?"

"Wala ba kayong balak mag-anak or mag-ampon?"

"Si ________ 3 na anak, kayo kailan kayo magaanak?"

"Di ka ba worried na mangbabae si __________ kasi wala pa kayong anak?"

 

Everytime I hear these questions, my mind goes totally blank. WTF?!?

 

My those are super insensitive questions Ms. Darkeinjel. So what do you tell them? Or do you just give them a nasty look? If I were in your shoes, I would have just told them "that's none of your business."
