to fit the traditiona­l mould of marriage and children.

As a result, there is pressure from friends and relatives that can negatively affect the overall quality of life of the single, childless individual.

It can be a little insensitiv­e to constantly berate someone about their childless status, especially if you don’t know all the details of why they have not had any children.

SOURCE OF DEPRESSION

Infertilit­y is a real issue that affects both men and women, and it can be a source of great depression that these individual­s are unable to procreate.

So instead of using their status as an opportunit­y to tease that person, take the time to find out what’s really happening and be a support system for them.

Based on romantic comedies, it’s pretty easy to meet someone, connect with them, get to know them, form a commitment and live happily ever after.

Unfortunat­ely, real life is not so perfect – finding a partner that will meet the relevant expectatio­ns is not as easy.

Contrary to popular opinions, age is not just a number. Older, single people find it a little more difficult to date than they did in their younger days.

After 35, many women are not very comfortabl­e putting themselves out there to meet new relationsh­ip prospects, especially when it seems that most of the men her age are interested in the younger women.

Everyone wants

to decide their own versions of happiness. So instead of being so judgementa­l of each other’s choices, how about we accept the decisions that people are making and be supportive where necessary?
