Whats the deal with all the single Moms?

My Fiance and I split up about 4 months ago. We had been together for years and I never really paid attention to other women my age. I honestly thought things were going to go differently. But, that is in the past and I have moved on.

I have been hanging out with friends that I haven't seen in years. I have been trying to meet as many new people as I can. Essentially, I am trying to get out from under the rock I have been under for years.

I keep meeting all these women my age (27ish) that have a kid (or kids) and no sign of a husband, fiancee, or steady boyfriend. A single Mom. How sad is that? :wack:

Was it like this 20 or 30 years ago? What happened?
