[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This obsession with getting engaged, engagement photos, wedding hoopla is crazy.

Even worse is the baby obsession after! Baby bump pics. Updates. Baby pictures doing the most mundane things.

And these women are soo....smug. Like they have arrived.

Sorry, as an engaged but not yet married woman, I find the social media wedding/marriage/baby cycle so annoying.[/quote]

I agree (as a married woman with a new baby, at that).  I think the focus on "gotta get engaged, gotta get married, gotta have a baby" also pushes people to marry people they shouldn't, to have kids when they shouldn't or with people they shouldn't have kids with, because it's "what you're supposed to do" not because it's the right decision.

Yes and no. Don't marry unless you want to live with the person for the rest of your life, but if you're waiting forever for the One without success, you need to change either your goals or your strategy. I married a not-the-one and after a while that's what she became, to me. [/quote]
