While speaking to my sister last night about how my partner and I are in the process of buying a trailer, she snidley said "can you two old maids manage driving a car on your own with it"
I will say the conversation after that sizzled, and when I got off the phone I vented to my partner, the dog and then the cat. She called me an old maid, my own sister, what the hell kind of insult is that!
The definition of old maid (which I googled, hey I was fired up) said an old maid is someone not married / romantic or sexual abstinence.
I usually stew over my familys general lack of caring and tact with my relationship to my partner, but the old maid line, for some reason just really pissed me off! I know I should just get over it or suck it up, which I will of course, but tonight I just needed to vent to the kittens!
I don't know why my sister referred to me as an old maid, I will be seeing her at christmas time so I will have to ask her exactly what she thinks an old maid is...and if she understands the concept of what a lesbian is, that we have romantic and heaven forbid - sexual relations.
And hello, I'm only 32, how is that old!!!!!!!!
I am signing off now before I type a novella,
perhaps I am just too sensitive....
