Your story also reminded me of Thai custom of answering to question "are you married?" with "not yet", it seems to calm people down, as suppose to simple "no" that gets them going, he-he... I hope that cultural mores will not stop your doctor from performing his/her job - ask about ocular migraine, btw.

Somehow I suspect it isn't translating properly... <br /><br />My neurologist here thinks I get migraines because I am depressed that I am single, and last night my taxi driver kept asking me if I was married. I just told him yes to avoid that look of pity. I'm so sick of it.szazahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07456170555733148455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5247858193952376831.post-1114715270836900722011-05-21T13:18:10.957+01:002011-05-21T13:18:10.957+01:00Congrats on the course & new apartment.

It's a shame, and I suspect people here are rushing into relationships out of a fear of being alone or thought of as "having problems," as you said. I don't know. All I know is that I don't feel any less without a man.szazahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07456170555733148455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5247858193952376831.post-61009709360393325392011-05-21T07:06:36.901+01:002011-05-21T07:06:36.901+01:00Somestimes it can be really terrible as single wom...Somestimes it can be really terrible as single woman.Because being woman does not have a value without man.They often think that you should have a problem,otherwise you would not be single.But our people are helpful and mostly friendly to "yabanci",not like Germany for e.x.If you are not sure or did not like any conversation ,just look a bit serious:))Selma BLAUhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03269750729625269805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5247858193952376831.post-44731397129502937552011-05-20T08:32:22.483+01:002011-05-20T08:32:22.483+01:00Thank you so much, Barbara!
