Not true at all. Worked at a start up company and the married ones were THE MOST unhinged.

Cheating on their spouses with co-workers, d****, excessive drinking etc.

From a perpetually single persons perspective, marriage causes stress

This

All of my friends who are married/engaged are stressed out

I think there is pressure to get married as opposed to actually wanting to

??

Plus people don’t take marriage seriously. All that money on a wedding in front of friends and family, creating a bond under God just to divorce like 7-10 years later. Then get mad at gays for “ruining the sanctity of marriage”. Everyone’s a hypocrite

Absolutely

You know ball bro haha

Forgot to mention how many are also looking for thirds in their marriage to spice s*** back up

It’s because people always the marry the mid person after they fumbled their best and stay chasing that high again

A relationship at all if you are able to get any amount of commitment free coochie

This is a wild generalization i know but I feel like s*** is kinda cooked if you older than like 26 still trying to find a brand new person to be your wife lol by that time we all stuck in our ways and experiences and unconditional love is out the window its more like a business deal/negotiation the more you get past late 20’s unless you genuinely find a soulmate/best friend

Being married gets u more biitches that’s scientifically proven

I think that's why engagement period is the most important. You really get to know someone until the big day.

Four of the five most successful people i know (legally) got married in their early to mid 20s

I just fully ended our relationship after a 6 week break. She wanted the break but I decided it was over by the end. We dated for almost 6 years.

I haven't seen her since April. Our relationship was declining for a long time. I've made mistakes (I can be testy and passive-aggressive, and I raise my voice sometimes. And I can catastrophize and it can truly be exhausting and deeply unsettling. I was also pretty dirty lmao, but my personal hygiene was good), but she just totally annihilated our connection.

Was gonna propose next year, went to nursing school for it, but we just didn't pan out.

Most marriages fail because people don’t know what to look for and don’t know themselves or what they want. If you marry the wrong person you’re f***ed, if you marry someone compatible you can build on it. People should marry within their culture, religion, race etc. to increase their odds of longevity.

That being said, I’m not married. Most of my friends are older and this is what I’ve observed being around them.

i know guys 40 and 50 over who are not and never got marrieds that is a old narrative about that stigma

Alec Baldwin is so bad in this, almost every line is cringe from that fat f***

The thing is why do we place so much importance on being successful when there are so many successful depressed people

I’d rather be successful and stress free

I do see what you’re saying and i do agree but the one guy in that top five that isn’t married is living depressed in his tribeca penthouse. Im not the type to tell people “you’re 30 where’s your family” and im probably gonna end up 30 and not married bc theres too many women to settle with one its just if you’re locked in with someone who supports and motivates you and your life isn’t just about you it’ll help you excel in all areas imo

I feel like on paper a partner who is beautiful and is supportive and motivational who you are madly in love with is wonderful thing but an unrealistic expectation when everyone ends up marrying a ugly looking person who just argues and causes stress

What kills me is it seems like everyone is marrying people who cause problems for them and on top of that they aren’t even pretty/handsome

If someone is gonna cause me anxiety at least be attractive

reading the thread got me in shambles

independent women are judged all the time have you ever spoken to a woman

Yeah if someone brings nothing to the table for sure they’re not you’re time getting married for the sake of it hurts everyone

Update:

I’m married yall

Don’t marry mid.

Problem solved…
