On Not Saying “I Do”
1. If I decided to live with my significant other I would not feel social pressure to be married because I never want to get married. My family approves how I feel because if that’s what I want then they’re happy for me. Of course, my mom wants me to get married because I’m her only daughter but she respects the fact that I don’t want to. My personal expectations of cohabitations are I don’t want to be married; too many marriages fall apart so easily which leads to divorce. I would rather not be married and enjoyed my life with a boyfriend or without one.
2. What accounts for the view that living together for a period of time is considered socially acceptable and deciding to maintain such an arrangement with no intention of ever marrying is not is the fact that a couple who moves in together is one step closer to getting married in the social world. Couples who don’t get married are looked down on because in the social world once you move in with your partner, your next step is marriage. I believe its okay to live together and if you don’t want to get married you shouldn’t have to. Marriage isn’t for everyone, especially not me.
3. Solot says that she missed the day the little girls were “injected with serum” that makes them obsessed with being brides and getting married. She means that many little girls are just obsessed with the image of being bride and living in a fairy tale world. They’re so obsessed with being a bride because the only see the image of it. That’s why so many marriages fail because so many girls just want to be a bride.
4. The reaction of her friends and family is them pushing her to marry. I do not agree that her decision should stand in the barely acceptable category because marriage is not even taken serious anymore. People get married to just be a bride and say that they’re married so they can seem normal to the social world.
5. She decided
