i really struggle with the fact that one of my greatest desires in life has always been to have a husband and the older i get the more unappealing living with a man sounds, not to mention it literally lowers your life expectancy. it makes me so deeply sad

like i’m glad i learned about how marriage with men effects women statistically before i got married but literally a husband was something i wanted since i was 5. my favorite thing to do at 5 years old was dress up in my little wedding dress and watch cinderella and draw designs for my future wedding dress. and now i’ve heard too many stories from married women to want it anymore but part of me still wants it even though i know it’s not in my best interest.

how do i stop wanting something i’ve wanted since i started forming thoughts? i wish men could just be better and safer. that’s really what i want but that’s just not reality and i don’t think it’s worth the risk realistically

It genuinely depends on the person you marry. I think marrying my husband actually increased my life expectancy because I now have access to health insurance and emotional support and I like the man I married. Also!! Buy that wedding dress even if you dont plan on marrying. You can enjoy dressing up without tying the knot

i’ve definitely thought about that 😊 i saw one woman that had a ceremony to marry herself and i love that. i hope i find someone that makes me feel safer being with them. i just don’t want to get my hopes up

yeah i don’t have any friends so that doesn’t help. mainly because i live in a red state and i’m too far left to even relate to democrats. i’m also immunocompromised and no one takes enough precautions for me to be around them. online is my only community but it’s not the same
