“Fear of missing out” is used to explain why people use social media items they don’t need nor want. But marriage is an example too.
I know there is wholesome cases where people want to start a family with other people they like to spend time with.
But a lot of the times it was also “Hey I am of the age my siblings and friends got married. I should meet people with the sole goal of marrying them and raising children.”
Im a married guy who met a woman who was amazing in the sack and we have a lot in common but not to much so its not like living with yourself. We are dependable and work well together (most of the time). We have no intention of having children but we like having each other. Neither one of us was looking for someone necessarily when we met much less looking to get married because the time was right. We are lucky that we might of had kids if our economic situation had been better after we tied the knot and then we would be horrified at the world our kids would be coming into within a few years. Granted if it was not for the us wierd healthcare stuff we might have just lived together rather than getting the paper. It would not make a difference.
In the first sentence I thought you were talking about cheating
sorry. no. it was my eventual wife. You know there are guys who believe in the marrying kind and the fun kind. I do to but they are both the same kind.
