Cruel questions

LIKe Dr Pam Spurr (Femail), I have long maintained it is insensitive to ask a single person when they are getting married, or a married person when they will start a family.

I would have loved to have married and had children, but it was not to be. My worst moment was at my sister’s wedding. I lost count of how many guests archly asked when it would be my turn.

Luckily, my father’s unmarried cousin saw I was upset and made me laugh by saying: ‘Well, I’m not travelling for another family wedding this year!’
