[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I never felt like my worth came from being a wife. Ever. Didn’t you feel pride in yourself when you were 17? Are you a good daughter? Sister? Friend? Neighbors? [/quote] I think women are pressure to define themselves in terms of their relationship to others, so thinking about how you’re a good neighbor, friend, etc doesn’t really solve this problem. OP, you are inherently worthwhile as a standalone human being. The problem is that your spouse couldn’t see that and honor it. That’s a reflection of them, not you. [/quote] I never felt that pressure. Getting married wasn't a goal, wasn't an achievement I was trying to reach. So maybe you bought into that talk, but either I never heard that type of talk or I ignored it because it seemed out of line with what I wanted. [/quote]
