Why do they even get married?

Because it was expected of them.

And then they criticize younger generations for waiting a long time to get married. Because many of us wait till we find someone we actually are happy to be with, actually care deeply about, and really can't imagine ever wanting to be without, instead of just picking the best option we can find by our mid 20's.

"You might get too old and be single forever" they'll warn, even while demonstrating that being with the wrong person is worse than being single. And you can meet someone at any age anyway, especially if you don't have hangups about being their first.

Same with having kids. It should be a personal choice when and if.

I guess people with regrets build houses of copium, and other people having options are walking wrecking balls.

I agree. I am very happy I have my kids. But the costs and benefits are so huge and personal no one can say if it’s worth it to someone else.

But the thing is, I’m happy with my life. I definitely feel like I’ve seen a pattern where the ones who push it the hardest are the most miserable. If they can get someone else to agree with their choice they feel reassured.
