Or people who regret their marriages? Because that happens too. What happens when the supposed "fulfillment" never happens?

And what if you don't choose to marry, prioritize your own happyness and you don't regret it? Because that happens too.

Women are told since they are girls that they should marry young and have children or they would regret it. Then they are presured with articles like this. But they rarely acknowledge the women who decided to pursue their dreams, careers, live their lives and are perfectly happy like that. Or if they do, it is to attack them, like calling them witches, spinsters or whatever. But how many happy widows are there because they had to wait until their husband dies to live a little?

So lets reflect, what are the aim of those articles? That young women date men that they don't like because they are "nice" and "deserve a chance"? Any partner woth something won't care about a young women living her life and being allowd to be young and careless the same way men are.

The culture that wants women to sacrifice and be martirs for the family has never valued women. Young women should be true to themselves and follow their own dreams, not other people dreams for them.
