Dear Yenta,
I am divorced and love it. I don't have
to cook,clean or do laundry unless I want to. I
get to have the whole bed to myself and my
snoring only wakes myself up. When I walk into my
house its like a party as the quiet is so
wonderul. People think I am strange and a
manhater because I don't want one of my own. I
think they are jealous because they have to leave
notes when they leave the house. Single womens
eyes meet in a silent smirk when some shackled
Mrs. can't imagine why we don't want husbands. Is
there some way of silencing these dogooders that
consistently want to fix me up with something
some other woman discarded?
Signed,
Content to be Alone
Dear Content:
The Yenta understands quite well why you
are so happy, as she was once a single Yenta and
enjoyed all the positives that you extol. Being
married also has its pleasures, but if it in
fact, is NOT for you, then you only have to tell
your married friends quite firmly that just
because they are miserable, hateful and jealous
is no reason to take it out on you and that you
would rather be alone forever than to be stuck in
a "go nowhere, do-nothing relationship with
a boor who only seeks to tie you to a life of
drudgery". I'm sure after you speak your
piece, you will never have to worry about them
trying to fixing you up again or even have to
worry about them speaking to you again. I'm sure
you will enjoy the added peace and quiet as well.
Sincerely,
The Yenta
