STOP MARRIAGE-SHAMING US.
Dear married friends especially female ones.
We thank God for our friendship turned brothership, sistership and siblingship. We also appreciate you for being there for us through our thick and thin and we are very happy that you have ‘left’ our hood to be happily joined to your spouse. We hope to join you soon if Christ tarries.
But we have many allegations against you. Number one; since you married, you seem to have forgotten us. Our calls you hardly pick and you never call. Even our DMs are not reply for 2 weeks when we do to check on you. It’s because you are married or you thought we ain’t mates again?
Needless to say, you stop attending our gym class, hangouts, party and those fun moments because we missed your contributions or are we going to learn about good marriage if not from experienced friends?
Thirdly, why is it that each time we are chanced to discuss about life, you would have said ‘you better go and marry’ three times. Does marriage confer sense, money, sense of responsibilities or salvation? As far as we know, it doesn’t give all these, so stop pressurizing us.
And to those who are our younger sisters i.e those of you we are older than who now want us to be prefixing their names with aunty or mummy so-so, we wish to emphatically tell you, your marriage have not reduce our ages. We are still your elder brothers and sisters.
Lastly, if you won’t stop marriage-shaming and marriage-peppering us or else we too, we can single-shaming you. Okay, can you spend money anyhow? Can you go out permission? Do you have ‘freedom?’ Apart from ability to unsinfully and unashamedly have sex, there is virtually anything you guys can do that we can do whereas there are many thing we can do that you dare not do… Lol.
Signed
Association of Single Brothers and Sisters.
