Well, in a sense.

I am in a committed relationship, though not yet married. Whenever I log onto Facebook I feel as though I'm the only one who is not married. I'm 27.

If you are in a commited relationship you should not feel "alone" just because you aren't married. Perhaps more is going on within the relationship that makes you feel alone......a Facebook status shouldn't have such an much impact on your feelings.

I feel like my married friends on Facebook are "better" than me for some reason.

OMG, facebook doesn't think I'm a real person.

Have we come to this, living our lives vicariously though stupid social networks?

And FYI, everyone feels alone to some extent, even if we are married and have lots of family and friends.

Why in the world would you think such?

Sounds like you have self-esteem issues.

Just because your friends are married and you're not, does NOT make them better than you. Maybe it's cultural or maybe it's the social circle you find yourself in or maybe it's just you, but whichever it is, I think you'd benefit from widening your social circle and getting off of FB.

Believe me, at age 27 there is no reason to be in a hurry to get married. Life is darn sure not passing you by. I think sometimes younger people don't realize these things until they get older and look back at their lives. If I were 27 again, getting married would be my last thought. Maybe it is time you don't take the 'goings on' and what is said on Facebook so seriously. Talk to your SO, find out how he feels about the future. Above all, don't get in a hurry. Enjoy life while you are still young and able to do so. You will find, youth is gone so quickly, you will look back and wonder where it went.

Sounds to me that instead of being happy with what you have, you spend your time coveting what other people have. I suggest you nip this in the bud now because it doesn't stop with marital status. After you get married you will want the car, the house, the toys, the stuff, etc etc... envying other people is no way to live your life.
