I remember listening to a call on a radio talk show once, where a woman called to ask for assvice and when she mentioned she was a single mother she was interrupted so the host could clarify whether she was a single mother or a divorced mother. WTF lady - I don’t have a spouse with whom I share parenting tasks day-to-day. Does it matter if there ever was a spouse or not? Not to mention it had nothing to do with the call, and added even less to the conversation except to let me know that I probably needed to keep on flipping through radio stations.

I mean, seriously? Is that why someone needs to know?

Marital Status (choose one)

  • -Single
  • -Married
  • -Divorced
  • -Widow/ed

This question inevitably irritates me. Married or not married. After that, it’s just nosy.
