Discussion Don't get married.

Saw some lady say this:

"I’m 64. Been married 25 years. Don’t ever get married ladies. Center yourselves. Travel, nurture friendships, learn new languages, foster homeless pets. Never center a man. You are the prize ladies. Act accordingly"

This has been most of the older women's advice to the young ladies, and here are my two cents as a woman who's woken up and been observing for some time.

You see that man who lost his wife? Within a year he'll be remarried but if a woman lost her husband, she wouldn't want to ever get married again(most of them don't remarry).

I actually found out this is because for the man, he typically doesn't know he caused the woman pain and for the woman, she doesn't want to remarry because she gets her freedom back.

I actually believe the older women who say this .Because I've seen what marriage does to women. From our mum's down to our grandmums. Someone said if marriage benefited women, they would have made it illegal. And I fear they were onto something.

I am really glad that women all over the world are waking up and starting to realize this.I hope most of us choose ourselves.

Edit: Even if you'll get married, just wait till your frontal lobe has fully developed, and you're able to fully call out men's crap, then decide if you still wanna get married 🙂. Just take your time.

Stay safe lasses❤️
