Marriage

I will be attending the wedding dinner of one of my JC classmate tomorrow night. She is probably the first friend I have who gets married at the age of 23. Other friends of mine who got married so early are mostly because of shotgun or cos their husbands are much older than them so they want to start a family early. For this classmate of mine who will be getting married tomorrow, her husband is only around 2 or 3 years older than her. So they are out of the norm to me.

To me, for some reasons, I no longer believe in marriage. To me, marriage is just a status to let everyone else know that you are together with your spouse legally. It may also be to please the parents of both side who do not like their children to cohabit. Other than that, it is more of just a fragile piece of paper.

And no, the reason I don't believe in marriage is not cos I come from a broken family or some sort. In fact I have a happy family and to this day I think my parents are still very lovng with each other. I still see them going pak-tor every weekend when my mum is not working... I love to see them together like this. Very sweet de wor...

Maybe because of the escalating divorce rates you see in the society now. It is more or less affecting me ba... Marriage is no longer a security to let you know that you will live happily ever after with your partner... Just like you can be dating this guy or girl for many years. Yet you may end up marrying someone whom you only dated for only one year after breaking up with the gf/bf of 4 or 5 yrs.

I still remember my sis's friend getting divorced within a year of her marriage cos of a 3rd party. Her husband still can give her a lame excuse that he feel that their character doesn't match after 5 yrs of dating... Crap...

Sometimes I wonder if there will come the day when I will get married at all... I can't see myself getting married to anyone... Maybe I used to imagine myself getting married wth Fred cos after all I was with him for 3 yrs plus. But that's history already. Now I seriously can't imagine myself getting married to anyone... Not even my current bf... Maybe I will change my mind a few years down the road... Just maybe...
