Some of my friends are really starting to annoy me regarding their fears that they are going to be old maids and won’t be able to “Ever get married!” They are putting themselves on some time line and are afraid they will never find the right person. I tell them that of course they are going to and to stop sweating it since they are only 27 years old.
I’ve explained to them that as excited as I am to get married to Mr. L-Bride, if he didn’t exist and I had never met him I would be enjoying my 20s and not worried about getting married. They of course respond with “Easy for you to say. You’re getting married and don’t have to worry about this.”
I don’t understand how you can just decide that you want to be married now, without a boyfriend or prospective partner. I only want to be married because of who I know I’m marrying. Don’t get me wrong I always knew I wanted a husband and kids someday, but it’s nothing I would force. I want to add that these friends are really pretty, fun, and adventurous people. I don’t know why they are torturing themselves but it’s really unflattering in my opinion.
How do you feel about your marriage or upcoming marriages? If you had never met your S/O would you be having a panic attack if you weren’t married or engaged yet?
