This definitely offered an interesting perspective. It sucks you were pressured into marriage, and I lol’d at the future ex-in laws. (Wasn’t that also a line in a movie? Maybe I’m remembering incorrectly.) my husband and I got married with just us and 4 other people on the beach in CA. It was perfect for us and the whole thing cost like $2k including a dress. Personally, I didn’t have a good childhood so I’m very proud of the home I’ve created with my husband, and his love and loyalty has been a big part of my healing over the years, even if I am more of a free spirit who sometimes struggles with feeling tied down. Either way, marriage isn’t for everyone, and it’s good to know it’s not for you. Life’s all about the experiences anyway, and now you know for sure!

I appreciate you sharing your experience, and I'm glad that part made you laugh. I laughed while writing it. I admire you for the healing you've had to do to create a healthy home. As you know, peeling away the layers of conditioning is a never-ending task. You're right - there's no better teacher than first-hand experience. Glad you took the time to comment.
