Dude, you're going to drive yourself nuts if you start thinking about this. This is what happens in your 20s/30s. That's when you start seeing engagement/wedding/baby announcements on social media. It doesn't mean you're "behind" or they're "moving on". It's not about moving on, it's about growing up.
its not going to serve you any good with how you are currently feelings about yourself.
Apologizing to you mother for not giving her a grandchild? Really?
Yeah. You hit your mid 20s and 30s, more and more people get married, more people divorcing and remarrying, kids happen, house buying happens, and facebook is a lot of married women's source to vocalize how super awesome and amazing there lives are. I do not see this from men very often though.
Of course the men send the "happy anny honey, love you" post/speech, but it's very rare for me to see them make a facebook post about them eating healthy, though sometimes I read the "She bought me pizza and wings for the game. #bestwifeever" garbage.
It's not all rum raisin ice cream when it comes down to real life though, as I'm watching something bad unfolding before my very eyes with a couple of friends who are married, where the wife just pours out awesome posts about her life, when it's actually not.
So I usually read facebook posts and laugh, even with all the goodliest crap I see women post about there spouses, it's all smoke and mirrors, I know and see things through real eyes.
Facebook is such a waste of time. And honestly it doesn't reflect real life. People post stuff to make themselves feel better about lacking this or that in their lives (things that nobody cares about but maybe a few).The world would be a better place without it. If it bothers you that much, get rid of it.
I know of a girl who recently got married who stays at home and gets catered to all day and she posts like crazy the things she is eating. Every single time she goes out (which is like every other day), she will post another five pictures of the same stuff to show how "fabulous" her life is. But in reality she doesn't do anything of substance and it's kind of sad.
I could've written the OP, since I often feel that way and frequently take breaks from Facebook because it makes me feel awful and lonely. I hear more than enough all day, every day at work about everyone's families and spouses, so to see it online is even worse. And, I get the "Oh, you're still single?" comments at work. Sometime people treat me like I'm not a real adult because I don't have "real" adult issues, like a SO or kids, even though I'm older than some of them! It really does make me feel badly sometimes. But I try to remind myself that I'm a late bloomer and that I'll hopefully find someone someday too. I just wish it'd happen sooner rather than later.
+1... Sometimes I will be meeting at a bar with some friends and they bring their SO..... Annoying!
