Put A Ring On It? No Thank You Sasha Fierce!

Marriage is like something you order off of an infomercial. It sounds soooo good and you just can't resist. Then you get it, and its nothing like they advertised. I blame society. We have this romanticized view of what married life is supposed to be. You are built up to expect to be spending the rest of your life with someone who will wake you up every morning to breakfast in bed and surprise you with flowers. A man who remembers birthdays, and anniversaries and always keeps you smiling. And women are somehow expected to juggle work, child care, housekeeping, and sex?! Not to mention that they are expected to stay in shape even after kids. Maybe I am being cynical but all that fairy tale ending garbage is being shitted on now. With the skyrocketing divorce rates and even higher infidelity cases some people have lost faith in marriage altogether. I don't blame them. Marriage in reality is hardly fun, it's work. A daily challenge to keep up the momentum. What if you pick the wrong person? And then the person you were "supposed" to marry walks into your life...could you handle the temptation? I remember when I was a kid, I used to think I'd be married at 25 and have children young so that I could be a cool mom and "understand". But now at the age of 21....4yrs from now still feels too early. I want to get my degree, pursue my career and be financially stable. Again, back to the picking the wrong person. Love as much as ppl hype it up to be, is not forever...and you could pick someone who you love and then end up resenting them b/c they are never home, or you are bringing in all the $money$ and they are just spending it recklessly. Worst of all, the fear of infidelity. Dating has really been the cause of the huge dent in the smooth exterior of marriages. Dating gives people good, and bad experiences causing them to carry around with them emotional baggage. So if you have been cheated on before, you will constantly be on the lookout for your significant other to slip up. I'm sorry but some women are delusional...you can not expect marriage to change a cheating man. All this put a ring on it stuff is dumb...if he doesn't love you or want to marry you by now...he never ever will...
