Today, my 5-year-old daughter said "Mommy, why doesn't anyone wanna marry you?" I've been asking myself the same question for all too many years. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my five year old daughter asked me what a divorce was. When I asked why she wanted to know, she replied with "Daddy wants one. He says you can have me." FML
Today, my 4 year old niece asked me why I didn't have a job or wife. FML
Today, my older brother and I were teasing our mom about her age. When we jokingly told her it was hard for us to watch our parents get old, she responded by saying, "Yeah, well, it's hard for me to watch my kids grow up and not have anyone who wants to marry them." FML
Today, my daughter told me she “doesn’t ever see herself getting in a relationship” and “dating just isn’t for her.” She’s 30 and has never been with anyone. FML
Today, my mom asked me out of the blue if I was ever going to consider getting married. It wasn't until after the conversation ended that I remembered my siblings are all either single like I am, or incapable of having children. I am my mother's last hope of becoming a grandma, and she reminds me all the time. FML
Today, I asked my mom why nobody likes me. She reeled off about a dozen reasons. FML
Today, my daughter is twelve and doesn’t have a single friend, despite being kind and sweet. When I asked her why, she said, “All the other kids want me to die.” FML
Today, my daughter has spent the last few hours moaning that the boy she’s known since they were 4 years-old got a girlfriend instead of asking her out. She’s known him for almost 20 years. If she liked him all that time, she should have asked him out herself instead of moaning at me. FML
Today, I asked my mum why she never had any children after me. She scoffed and asked if I've looked in a mirror lately. FML
Today, my five year-old daughter came up to me and told me she wanted to be a nun. When I asked why, she replied, "So I won't get my heart broken by a boy." FML

It's better to not be married than to be married to someone who isn't good to you. Just focus on being the best mom to your daughter.

I love how kids have zero filter and just say whatever is on their minds. And you don't need to be married...just focus on being the best mom you can be to your daughter :)

Exactly. To many people these days are more worried about being in a relationship period than being in a relationship based on love and trust. Even if you're not married now at least you have your little girl. That should be more than enough. :)

I'd say OP has a parasitic personality and no man in their right mind would want to be with her.

Being single is a good thing in some situations.

The reason is because you're a strong independent woman, that doesn't need no man.

it's just a meme, #36. not everything is super serious.

#36 There's always someone like you who brings up this 'how dare you assume OP is straight/male/human' bullshit. You do realise not everything is sexist, racist or homophobic? Sometimes it's just a funny comment, and your type of tumblr-esque permanently offended comments irritate me.

It's probably best to stay single if you don't know why no one wants you. That is what I'm doing, except I can guess why I'm forever alone. Besides, single life is better. And yes, I expect to be downvoted.

I upvoted you just to prove you wrong!

thank you for proving that there are nice people around. :)

Being single and being in a relationship each has its ups and downs, but lately I've found that being single is more simple, despite being lonely.

Focus on being a mom and the right man will come along the way.

Number 1: Make your life. Number 2: When you are ready, you will either find someone, or someone will be matchmaker. If not, go on match.com --you don't need to wait for fate -- you need to make your own fate in this life.

You refer to yourself as "Mommy"? Because that would clear things up if you did.
fakedsincerity 32
No. Her daughter refers to her as Mommy.

I know, I was making a dad joke. At the very end of the FML, she says she asks herself the same thing, and I was implying that she literally asks herself the same question (beginning with "Mommy").

Oh. I'm a derp.

At least there is less drama. Still, I wish you the best!

I just wonder if you realized what is the common denominator.
