Bride & Groom & Me
So, I am in law school. There are quite a few LDS students- most of whom are married with 50 kids. And there are three single girls (me and two others, obviously). The other two girls are really nice but I don't really know them and so I haven't done much with them. All the other guys I know are great and I have talked with them often. Most of the LDS-law-school-merged stuff is usually all guys and me. I have been invited to "Wives Night Out" but I am not a wife and I don't really know any of the girls except for two of them. And I question whether we would have anything in common. Don't get me wrong, I am a woman and I have a child but other than that, not a whole lot. I have never been married. Heck, I have hardly ever dated anyone for longer than three months. I don't sew (although I do knit, but that's not the same). I don't cook for people every day. I don't keep my house in immaculate shape (I am lucky if I remember to make my bed and put the clothes in the hamper). So where do I fit in? The guys do invite me to JRC meetings and institute and Stake Volleyball and stuff, and honestly, I wouldn't mind going. I have always had a lot of really awesome male friends. But here's where I am worried. . . you know how people talk, right? I don't want anyone thinking that if I choose to shun Wives Night but opt to go to the male-dominated (in attendance only) meetings that people are going to get suspicious of my motivations and think that I am trying to scam on their men. I don't want to be unjustly labeled a homewrecker but I also don't want to be the only single girl in a room of 20 happily married Mormon housewives! EESH! This is my current gripe, but tomorrow's a new day, eh?
