Maybe it's just me...maybe I'm too sensitive...but does it annoy anyone else when a woman identifies herself as "happily married" with no other description attached? For example, if you ever watch Wheel of Fortune, they always have the contestants introduce themselves at the beginning of the show. The women almost always say they are happily married to a wonderful man named so-and-so and live in xyz. If they have children, that comes next. Does that really tell us anything about a person? In contrast, I've noticed the single people might start with their job and include a hobby or interest.
Maybe it's just me, but I never want to get to the point where my marital status and mommy status is how I'd define myself. I do think my job defines me, but that's because it's such a huge part of my life. I'd include things like my interests, things I love, how I spend my free time (which, at the moment is being lazy).
Does it bug anyone else? Do you think we've learned to define ourselves better since we don't have that "married" title?
