The Bachelor Vs. The Old Maid

Have you heard of a marriage pact? You know, the deal you make with one of your best friends that says, if you aren't married by a certain age, you'll marry each other. Why would anyone do this, you ask? That is one of the questions Kat is asking this week as she dives into the pressure many women experience in finding a partner in early adulthood. Maybe it has to do with the fact single men have historically been swooned over as "eligible bachelors" while women are labeled "old maids" and "spinsters. Or maybe it is because they were scarred by the plot of "My Best Friends Wedding." This episode invites you into the current conversation Kat is having with herself as she reevaluates the way her younger self idealized finding a husband.  Follow Kat on Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/kat.defatta/">@Kat.Defatta</a> Follow the podcast Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/youneedtherapypodcast/">@YouNeedTherapyPodcast</a> Have a question, concern, guest idea, something else?
