Yeah, it must be so hard not having to actually worry about employment and just sit at home being supported by someone else like a house pet. eyes2
even though im not a moo, im currently unemployed, at home, supported by my partner, however, I would rather be working (if I could actually land a job), and because of that, it can be really uncomfterble to be relying on someone else to live, I feel like my house should be spotless and chores should be done prior to my partner getting home, since he's the one having to work his arse off to support us both.
but I think there are the differences:
sahmo: doesn't want to work, dose everything she can to avoid returning to work, doesn't do anything extra around the house to make her partner feel appreciated, feels she deserves appreciation for not doing anything special, lows about not having enough time to herself, regardless of having around 6hours each week day.
me CF unemployed: I've solicited over 950 jobs even while sick in hospital for 8months last year alone, I do what I can around the house to make it feel nice for when my partner comes home, I try to give extra attention to my partner for simply putting up with my unemployed arse for this long, via therapeutic massage, cooking something he particularly likes, or simply doing the dishes after I cooked so he can have more time to relax.

I tend to keep my CF status quiet unless I really get to know someone. I am afraid that I'll get bingoed and told off because I've avoided all the pitfalls of being a breeder.
I have told a few people who were mere acquaintances, and they pretty much thought it was cool. One lady said to me that "Children and husbands give you wrinkles!" This was before I was married, haha. I believe that about kyds giving you wrinkles, but I've been married over a year and nary a line nor crease since my wedding day.

Well, let's see if you are the one who is giving the wrinkles to your SO. LOL - Just kidding larious
For me, the only time I got gray hair and wrinkles was when the ex started to demand breeding. I actually have been feeling and looking much younger ever since I went my own way. I think that what that lady was meant to say to you was that a husband/kyds combo is what gives you wrinkles.

@ JohnDrake: "...taking on more work than my equivalent job did in our other offices, having my boss trash me behind my back after I had to go for cancer treatments. Being visited by coworkers hours after surgery while still groggy from anesthetic and being asked work questions and the next day, boss demanding to know when I'd be back at work before I was even approved for discharge wasn't the way the preggos going on maternity leave were treated."
-> that's mobbing. Inconsiderate assholes....

@ Techie: the Fakebook page is a good start. I think it's win-win. The photo will be posted on two Fakebook pages - on yours and on single moo's. You will have your "happy family" and moo will be glad that she doesn't look single anymore :-)))

I fucking hate it that family = kids. I've been told several times that I don't have a family. Last time by a woman who hasn't seen her father since she was a teen, never liked her sister and hasn't talked to her own mother since last December. Should have told her that since I'm still on speaking terms with all of my family, I just didn't feel the need to create a new one. But she has a faaambleee because she has two kids who are too young to move out and escape her.
