You missed a fun shabbos
Had some older married couples over at the meal and we were trading stories based on this thread. I Heard 3 stories of older singles being sat down by their friends to have an intervention.
Essentially, these friends were told that if you want to have kids then it is time to settle. Now some people will bristle at that word but it really means settle down as in making a conscious decision to find a nice guy and finally get married.
All of these 3 women got married late 30’s to early 40’s.
All ended up having kids
All married guys that on paper they would have rejected a few years earlier(divorced with kids, chassidik/litvish/sephardi etc)
and, most importantly, all are happy
Is it really bullying? Those interventions helped, but only because the singles listened. Many more do not and stay single and it’s tragic.
