How do you deal with family that asks why you're still single?

[Lea101]

Yes I said I was kidding. That would literally be the worst thing one could say in that situation

 

[Sarcelle]

Most, if not all, curmudgeons I know are married. Not only are they married but have been married for a long time.

Reminds me of the 30-something lady who, at every family wedding, was accosted by an elderly aunt who would pinch her cheek and say, “Don’t worry honey. You’re next.”

After a few years, when a mutual relative passed away, their paths crossed at the funeral. The 30-something lady walked up to her elderly aunt, pinched her cheek and cheerfully said, “Don’t worry honey. You’re next.”
