It absolutely is. I still have to have regular talks with my young nieces because, even at 6 and 8, they regularly ask me if I’m okay, if I’m suffering, if I’m lonely and sad. “Don’t you want to get married and be happy like mama,” they ask me. It comes at you from all sides. And dammit, I’m not going to let them grow up believing I am miserable just because I’m not married — or that marriage is the only way they will ever find happiness. No way!
