All married people were once single – but it’s surprising how quickly we forget what it was like to navigate everyday life as a single person.
Sometimes that “memory loss” is evident in the way we interact with singles. Perhaps, without meaning to, we ask insensitive questions or brush aside their heartfelt fears and concerns with a pithy statement.
Other times that memory loss manifests itself in what we don’t do: We fail to invite our single friends over to dinner at the house.
