Re: Whats Your View On Marriage Life? Well...I actually ever thought of being a bachelorette once. (Ok, I'm trying to avoid using the word "spinster" because of its unglamourous connotations).
I guess that I won't commit to a marriage if I am unable to find someone secured enough to start a family with. Or someone who can convince me undying love in the event of unfortunate stress in the marriage. Heartbreaks are painful enough. I wouldn't want to be involved in a broken family drama.
I guess currently I'm adopting a too cynical view towards relationships and love, and thus it invariably twarted my perception of marriage as well.
I have seen my parents quarreled too often about how they regretted marrying each other or even marrying in the first place and how they often coaxed me about selecting a right partner or just not getting married at all, as cited by their observation that many people are avoiding marriage.
Contrary to normal parents who wish for their children to be married and thus having a pillar to lean on in the future, my parents are the possessive sort who wants us to stay by their sides forever. Selfish I know. Coupled with marital affairs and all that, marriage to them is a disaster and the worst decision they pressume to have ever made.
And so, society and real-life cases have taught me to be skeptical, which is an individual thing because I do know that many people are optimistic about marriage, and honestly, this is the right attitude to adopt. At least, you can live life happier knowing that there is still hope in the future. =) The girl with the signature red font. -The name thee dare not speaketh- |
