I have to admit these threads get under my skin a bit and make me feel I made bad choices. Another thing—anyone from a religious background who is no longer practicing would be shocked that these are norms applauded by upper class Americans. Marrying at 22 and staying home!! Wow. In other parts of the world young women are trying to escape these exact stifling norms.
You are confusing defensiveness with bragging.

Made fun of on another thread for this observation but marrying young seems to be a trend especially college educated, especially UMC or higher. Don't know why.
