🦆🇨🇦 :
Any young ladies watching, remember there are PLENTY of loving and happy relationships. The lesson from these warnings is to choose well, know yourself, don’t sacrifice your boundaries, and don’t settle because of social pressure. Relationships can be beautiful and life enhancing, and extremely rewarding.

Sanguine :
As a lawyer I was aways financially independent from my husband (and the breadwinner). I manage our finances. But it wasn’t til I hit 35 that I realised I had still somehow centred my life around him. I was always the one doing everything. Long story short, I decided we’re staying childfree, hired a cleaner, and now travel solo. We’re still together but I take responsibilility for only my own happiness now

I learned the hard way that love is truly not enough to sustain a marriage.

I'm 20 and had a very serious partner from 16-19. we were so in love and our relationship was great but i wanted to go to uni, travel, explore life, especially as a young woman feeling the need to do that, and he had no real ambitions for travel, career, or anything, just wanted to get married and settle in our small town and work his same job. it was frustrating trying to make it work until I realised I'm literally a teenager, I don't want to compromise my life. we broke up 3 months ago and it's been hard but I'm glad I cut my losses early instead of waking up miserable in 20 years

I am 50 and happily married and agree 100% with you. If I have to do it all over again, I won’t get married or have children.

At my wedding I told my husband, the most happiest day of my life was graduating from nursing school. The second happiest day was marrying him.

I love that the focus of this message is resisting the temptation to center another person in one’s life. Both my husband and I were raised by SAHMs who both had incredibly happy marriages. I truly do believe part of what made them such success stories is that they both never lost themselves to their marriages. And both of our fathers love and respect their autonomy. And in turn my husband and I share the same values in our marriage.

Circumstances kinda forced me to be single and child free at 29. I actually find it that this is what I needed (but I didn't wanted it at first, I was scared sand and anxious I'm falling behind others). In reality this broke me free from the pressure to hurry into marriage and kids. I no longer feel the pressure. I have dreams and goals.

Agree 100 %! Marriage is no reason to fully give up your authority.

As a Pacific Islander whose culture(s) is built on the foundation of community and family values, I didn’t even realize there was an option to be unmarried & intentionally childfree until a couple years ago. Followed ❤️

i’m 24. i was 16-20 in a serious relationship. i wanted marriage, financial dependency, etc. i had graduated, had a salary job, and was going to be federally funded my masters program. he had no ambitions for school, travel, the future really…i’m glad i took initiative and broke things off. i’ve graduated, own my money to whatever i want w/o guilt, travel solo, and don’t see myself settling in the near future. i wish these were lessons instilled for young girls so they knew what options were available.

As someone in her 40’s who’s been happily married for 21 years. I agree. I am still happily married and plan on always being happily married, but nothing is promised in life. Life can change dramatically in a short period of time and you should always be able to rely on yourself if you need to

Woman in her 40s here. I agree with this completely. Personally ive always had my own career but i understand how people choose to have one parent stay at home in order to support their family.

Becoming properly financially literate, informed and responsible was the most empowering thing I did for myself and my children.

my parents had a lot of conservative beliefs, but one of them they never had was that women were lesser than men. they always imparted in me the importance of being financially independent and being able to provide for myself. and they have never pressured me to get married or implied that i would be a failure if i never got married or had children. i think these are such important ideals to impart to young women and they definitely shaped the way i lived my life.

JESS 💋 :
Thank you as a 32 year old who broke up a 8 year relationship in her late twenties to chase her dreams of living abroad when he only wanted to stay in our city and wasn’t able to communicate openly or build shared goals together. Recently I’ve felt doubt and guilt for not following “the path” as in hindsight it feels he might have been a good father. But in the end I realise things always look better in hindsight and that I really struggled in the moment without a partner who could openly talk about important lifelong matters. Followed, thank you
