[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Love how everyone says marriage like that means happy

And how the HHI highly educated think that because it worked for them or their social circle it’s representative of anything [/quote]

Only about 1/3 (maybe) of my college/grad school friends are still married. The ones who are would probably like to get divorced but don't want to ruin their lifestyle. [/quote]

I’m not even remotely surprised because there’s so much unhappiness among the striver DCUM set and that no doubt extends to friends.

I’m thinking real hard and can’t come up with any college/grad friends who are divorced.   [/quote]

My three closest friends in college all got married by age 23—all to their high school boyfriends—and they’re all divorced now. Bitter, acrimonious UMC divorces, all with kids involved. They probably wish they had just enjoyed their prime years a bit longer on their own.[/quote]

See, I gotta call bullshit.  No one -- no one -- has their three closest friends all marry their high school boyfriends right after graduating college.  It doesn't happen.[/quote]

It’s absolutely true, I promise. If I told you the school, you’d doubt me even more.

This is an outlier situation for sure, but I think about them every time one of these threads come up because I do feel kind of sad that each of them devoted themselves so fully to these guys so early in their lives. They never fully enjoyed their college experience, never got their own careers going because they assumed these guys would take care of them forever.[/quote]

They "assumed these guys would take care of them forever?"  When did you go to college, the 1950s?  How did you end up with such bizarre friends?[/quote]
