Woman, 29, slams pals for giving her an 'intervention' over not being engaged

A woman was shocked after her two friends gave her an 'intervention' and accused her of letting her life pass her by - all because she's single.

The woman, 29, has known the two mates for a decade and they meet up regularly and share things about their lives.

She is the only one of the three who is not engaged or a mother, but she is fairly happy with how her life is now as she has a good job and is well-travelled.

Taking to Mumsnet, she added that the 'intervention' was mainly about boyfriends and living situations as she is single and has moved back in with her mum after a difficult period financially.

In the post, the woman, who remained anonymous, wrote: "Well the day turned out to be a sort of intervention for me by my two friends. They said that they wanted to speak to me as they'd been talking and they felt that life was passing me by and that they felt I wasn't doing much with my life.

"We are all 29, I am single but my friends are both engaged and both have children."

She went on to ask if people on Reddit considered her 'a failure', explaining that she works in advertising, is well-travelled and recently went solo around America.

The woman also explained that she can drive, has a Master's degree and has lived in four cities in the last 10 years.

She finished her post explaining that she lives at home due to a change in her finances and does not have any children.

She said: "Am I a failure? We sort of agreed to disagree and they said they wanted to just make sure I stayed on the right track."

In response, many supported the woman and said she should consider getting different friends.

One person wrote: "You need new friends I think. They are cruel and horrible to talk to you like that."

While another stated: "I'm so confused. The intervention was because you're not married and settled down?"

A third penned: "You have a 'friend' problem."
