“I’m doing this for Felix. You know how difficult it is for a single mother to find a good man who’d be good to her son. I’ve decided not to get married ever again, to avoid subjecting Felix to a bad stepfather. Besides, I’m perfectly happy living with Felix.” “You shouldn’t see it that way. Jeanette, you’re young and beautiful. A good man will certainly fall for you. Besides, the world is vast! There are plenty of good men around! Just you wait, I’ll introduce plenty of handsome male celebrities to you. I bet you’ll fall in love soon enough.” Mimi patted her chest as she said this. Jeanette laughed weakly. “Stop kidding around. You wouldn’t be single anymore if there really were so many goo

"Honey when I say I hate men, my swords are only pointed towards my ex-husband,'' She told me. I closed my eyes as she put the tip of the eye brush on my eyelid. "And I am dating because I also have needs. Every woman has, isn't it?'' She poked on my shoulder. I shook my head sideways murmuring NO. She laughed. My family has a magical ability to change every need into matrimony. Feeling alone? Get married. Feeling sad? Get married. Want to go for a world tour? Get married. The phone is not working, get married. In their eyes, being a single mother is a crime. "It's fun we can get until we hit menopause, at this age I don't think I will get a man to settle down" She huffed.

"I'm the town handyman your mother called me when things broke. That's all." "That's all," I repeated, not believing him for a second.The lawyer's office was three blocks away. I left Gus in the restaurant and walked there in the fading afternoon light, my mind spinning with everything that had happened in the last twenty-four hours. Mr. Santoro was an old man who'd known my family since before I was born. He offered his condolences, handed me documents to sign, and then dropped the bomb I should have seen coming."Your mother remarried six months ago."I stared at him. "What?"

Sebestian asked with his raised brow. "Only if you love her" she looked frustrated. "Granny?" Sebetsian said exasperated with his grandmother. "I know, I know, you can never want someone else but your mate! And you know she had pups' too. Poor angel is single mother. God knows what her mate did to her." she said while holding his two hands in the air as if surrendering. Sebestian just kept on staring his grandmother who is in so deep in her thoughts and as if she is trying to fathom something.

“There is nothing special about my life except that I have an amazing mother and girlfriend. In fact, my girlfriend is pregnant with my child, and I will soon become a father. My mother is a single parent, and I don’t know where my father is, as he has never visited us, not even once. So, I assume he is dead. My mother works two jobs every day from morning to night, so I am used to doing housework to help her. However, my mother did not live long. When I was in high school, my life was chaotic because of several things. Not long after, my mother passed away, and my life became even more chaotic until I finally had nothing, and I changed little by little. And now, I want to be a good man to m

“Well, I have the report in my email, but from what I remember, she’s 35 years old, single—well, widowed. Her husband passed away eight years ago. They were married for two years before he died in a car accident.” “Wow… That’s tragic.” “She doesn’t have kids. She lives in a modest apartment on the outskirts of Westhaven, alone with a cat. She studied fine arts. She doesn’t come from a wealthy family or anything. She’s just a regular woman, not the daughter of anyone important. In fact, she doesn’t have any close family left. Her husband was the last.” “She’s all alone? She’s such a…” “Beautiful woman? I thought the same thing. She’s stunning—and single.”

"I'm just saying that you're not always there for me, that you're not always available to talk to me, to listen to me, to be there for me when I need you." Mrs. Valerie's expression didn't change, but her voice became even more angry. "I'm always there for you," she said. "I'm always working to provide for you, to give you the best life possible. You have no idea how hard it is to be a single mother, to work and raise a child on my own."

She'd rather stay single than wake up every day to a face she didn't like, pretending to be happy for the rest of her life. "You're driving me crazy! You're in your 30s now, and if you don't get married soon, no one will want you by the time you're 40! Your dad and I are getting older, and after we're gone, how will you manage on your own?!" Phoebe exclaimed. Facing her mother's serious expression, Valarie shrugged. "I'll manage just fine. There are plenty of people who choose not to marry or have kids, and none of them seem to be struggling."

They grew up, married and started raising children of their own, but we remained close. I was sixty when cancer took Mary. I sold the house, bought a small condo and tried to get on with my life. One of the first things that I did was hire Merry Maids to come in and clean for me. When Merrily, my stepdaughter, heard about that she went ballistic. I was wasting my money paying some one to come in and do what Merrily would do for free. But I was alone for the first time in my life and as much as I missed Mary I kind of liked it and I felt that Merrily being around would somehow take that away from me. That was the other thing that upset Merrily - my being alone. She set out on a campaign to ge

said mom. I felt mom stand up. I tried to brighten my face before facing her. "Yes, mom." "Good. I think everything is fine. I know that you won't betray us, Myca. Just don't disappoint me." I had goosebumps because of the coldness in her voice and tone. I watched my mom's entire face. I can see the anger in her eyes darted on me. I know she loves me and dad. It's just that they have a really big stand. They believe that an only child will have a good life if she is married to a male cousin from a distant relative. Because for them, it's better to know someone who has a real connection with you than someone you don't know at all.
