Dear Sabby,

I’m 25 years old and all of my friends are about the same age give or take a few years and every damn one of them are married. I don’t know how I should feel about this. In a way, I’m jealous because they all seem really happy and I just don’t quite fit into their world of marriage. I could use your wisdom on this one.

Oh my dear Nicole. I can see how it it could be frustrating to be the single friend amongst a group of other ladies your age who are all happily married – probably to great men who make decent money and satisfy them every night as you sit alone at home with your cat eating Ben & Jerry’s while watching sappy movies on the Oxygen channel.

Oh shit, I’m supposed to be making you feel better about this, aren’t I…

Let’s be real. You’re only 25. You have many, many, many, many years ahead of you to fall in love with a guy and marry him. Try to remember that your friends probably aren’t always as happy as they seem. Marriage is hard work and it’s not nearly as awesome or appealing when you’re no longer on the outside looking in. So tonight, go home and crank your vibrator up as high as it goes and rejoice that you don’t have to fake a headache tonight or bring your man another beer.
