But i guess, to be listed as a Widow would be politically incorrect. We have to lump everyone together. Never mind that staying in a marriage is not always easy. My late Husband and i had our problems. We didn't always see eye to eye on things, but we stuck it out. i loved him, still do.
That "single" word bothers me - yeah, a pride thing (that's sin). "Single," at my age connotes either having been put away (divorced) or being an "old maid." There's that pride thing again.
Oh what next, in the wonky-world of political correctness? Will my boss soon not be allowed to have his title next to his name on the correspondence? Uh, hey, he worked diligently to get to that nice space - take home that nice pay-check. Ya know, he could have wasted his earlier years slacking around. But no, he chose to get up each morning and go to work, and go to bed at a decent hour (instead of bar-jockeying), so he would be rested and in a mindset to do a good job.
What i'm trying to say is: people who stick it out get shafted, when lumped with people who - for whatever reason - did not stay the course.
