—I am eyeing these two comments with a horrified sort of fascination. Because I know why I am thirty-one and unpartnered (guess!), when my sisters are (in ascending age order) partnered, engaged, and married-and-pregnant. But if one were to ask my mother why she didn't get married till a week before she turned thirty, the answer she'd give would have something to do with Dad enlisting in the USAF. (He was at basic training elsewhere in the States for the originally planned wedding date of the June before Mom turned thirty.)

Nothing whatsoever to do with maybe my mother is ace- and/or aro-spec. She's the sort of Catholic who doesn't believe those words mean things.

And like I know she's had sex at least five times? (I'm the oldest of five kids.) But that doesn't exactly rule anything out here?
