Weddings are happening around me.

My best friend recently got married after just a few months of dating - now she and her husband are very happy together. Even on this forum now I read the news about the imminent wedding.

I was married only once, when I dreamed of my family. Those 5 years were a real hell for me, where all I got was insults and attempts to make fun of me. My ex-husband did not buy even a wedding ring, I myself gave it to him to wear on the day of marriage... I was so young to notice his game. I have never had a white dress or even a bridal bouquet.

After that, I said to myself that I would dare to repeat this experience only if I meet a person like me, who sees in me a person and not a thing or a body or a comfortable partner to use. Who will speak the same language with me and take care of me and our relationship just like I do. Now my thinking about marriage is possible only after many years of our relationship, when I know that all this is really real.

I sure, marriage doesn't change anything in a relationship. In addition to a kind of message to society (families, parents, friends, colleagues):
"this is my main person for this life and this person is the one to whom I trust as myself and have no secrets."

For me, marriage is impossible without love. And love is impossible without mutual respect, trust and support.

But I'm wondering what is a marriage for other people? This is maybe the most important step so must be reasons.

My marriage full of bbc cheating. I never repeat this shit. Be alone, best option! Nobody fucks your brain and makes you a looser.

I was completely smitten by L at the very first sight of her. I was ten years older than she, and my immediate fear was that I wouldn't get to spend the rest of my life with her, that she must certainly have a boyfriend her own age. As much as I tried to prepare myself for rejection, she just wouldn't let me alone. I was so hesitant, so sure she was out of my league, that she almost gave up on me. I had never met anyone like her, and would probably still be pining for her to this day had she not made it more and more clear that she was serious. There was just no option for me - thankfully she felt the same way.
