There are various forms to make you feel excluded, some more serious than others. I mention this one vecause it reveals in a sublte way what society considers as proper, even natural. I will call it the odd number and it means how you can feel when you go out with friends and you are the odd number. There are couples and then some by themselves. So odd in its double sense. It is a headache when you have to decide how you dispose people at the table. Often, you find youtself next to another odd creature you may know or not. In politics, families are more often mentioned than individuals unless they have problems. the social unit is double, made of couples and a rest, This is more noiticeable with women than men. You speak of unwed mothers, not of unwed fathers. And I who bever understood this living coupled.
