An "Honest" Woman

Warning: this is a venting post. Govern yourself accordingly.
This is how a conversation went this morning:
Me: "Good morning!"
Her: "Good morning, how is the baby?!"
Me: "Doing great! He's eating a lot, and getting big."
Her: "That's wonderful. So when is T going to finally make you an honest woman?"
Me: .....*blank stare*
You see now why this is a "vent" post?! If I wasn't a blessed and saved person, I would tell her it's none of her business (adding in some choice expletives as well). But I am a punk, so I just smiled and said, "We'll see."
What really gets me is that this person had NO IDEA how offensive she was. Am I not already an honest woman? I am certainly not deceitful or disloyal. So the implication that I am not "honest" just because I am a mother and not married is insulting.
That's why T and I are waiting awhile before we get married. We want to make sure it is out of love, not obligation. T and I have both seen what happens when marriages fail for lack of a solid foundation, and we will NOT start our lives on unstable ground.
Some people need to stick to their own business and leave mine alone.

Amen! I had a male friend ask me this BS! My daughter is 11months and I am glad we are waiting as well!
