Chapter 6: Covid & Copping Out

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">In which I get called out so hard I break out in cold sweats, offend people at a wedding, surprise myself by getting a job, and rant like my life depends on it.</span></p> <p class="p2"><br /> Excerpt: “I’m so fed up with how we speak to single women. Either we’re getting shamed for being single—and encouraged to lower our standards before all is lost; because clearly being single is worse than ending up in an unsatisfying relationship for the rest of your life—<em>or</em> we’re getting shamed for wanting a relationship.

People who, either because they don’t care about partnership as much as me, or because they’ve gaslit themselves into believing it isn’t a need (to protect themselves from disappointment) take a self-righteous pride in having “ascended beyond” that desire, and you’re less than for not being able to, or not wanting to.”</p> <p class="p3"> </p> <p class="p2">LINKS</p> <p class="p3"> </p> <p class="p4"><span class="s2"><a href= "https://foreveralonepodcast.com/episodes/chapter-6" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">Leave me a comment on this episode here</a></span></p> <p class="p3"> </p> <p class="p4"><span class="s2"><a href= "https://foreveralonepodcast.com/contact" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Say hi, share some love, or ask a question here</a></span></p> <p class="p3"> </p> <p class="p4"><span class="s2"><a href="https://clarityonfire.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">I’m coaching and podcasting at Clarity on Fire</a></span></p> <p class="p3"> </p> <p class="p4"><span class="s2"><a href= "https://www.patreon.com/clarityonfire" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">I’m creating bonus content on Patreon</a></span></p>
