Pathetic

What kind of pathetic society is this? I am so ashamed of some of their beliefs and standards. Reminds me of England until the last century where how good you were was irrelevant compared to what family/name/fortune you married into.

My 2nd cousin removed, has hit the jackpot, according to mother dearest and aunties. She has married well: good breed, pureblood, good money, great name, a very prominent family. Not for a second did they think: perhaps they may never have children; perhaps he drinks, perhaps they will divorce in less than 1 year, perhaps she'll have the worst mother in law, perhaps they will be unhappy.

So she married well. Good for her! (Insert FFWD April 2010: She got the open-minded husband that she wants but is bored at how neglectful he is. He is not the man she dreamed to get)

This fairytale of finding a prince charming and living happily ever after does not exist. A perfect relationship does not exist. Nowadays, it's not just about finding a man to marry, but finding the right person to marry, someone who will accept/ respect and cherish us.

I hate those looks they give me. They never say it but I know they are thinking it: that I shall never be good enough until I marry right. Oh Lord, can't I just have fun in my life? I was so excited about my coming trip, saving every extra penny and sorting out what clothes to wear. Why won't they just let me live each day as it comes? It's my life after all.

I haven't found the right man yet. Big deal. I've got this PhD to worry about for now. If someone nice comes along then great, and if he doesn't, oh well so what. I look around me and see half those married couples living in misery and cheating on each other. It's very very sad. They all got married for the sake of marriage itself, dreaming of the beautiful wedding and not realizing that a married life starts as soon as the last guest leaves the reception and it should last a lifetime.

Stop judging me please. I am really happy in my current single situation. I think? I am happier than any of you could ever imagine.
