The man I want to be with is getting married tomorrow, so i sympathize.
Oh, but as a lovely consolation prize, they're changing up things at work, so when he gets back from his honeymoon, he will be my boss.

I'm going to be drinking tomm night. I'll drink to you madam.

Hey, a good chunk of marriages end in the first 5 years...you still have a chance! (terrible thing to suggest I know :-P)
[–]SeisGurl9 0 points1 point2 points 27 days ago
Ouch, that sucks. Sorry.
[–]shresthanator[S] 7 points8 points9 points 28 days ago
yea...and I'm not going to the party on Friday either.
[–]jourdone 6 points7 points8 points 28 days ago
one of my "best friends" just got married. i wasnt invited and had no idea she was married until i noticed her last name changed. whatever! over it!
[–]rabbitsrule 4 points5 points6 points 27 days ago
Better than being a bridesmaid for the sixth time.... :(
[–]zarisin 15 points16 points17 points 28 days ago
Yeah in the last year I've seen nearly every person I know get married or engaged. I think I can count my single over 22 year old friends on one hand.
But there's a silver lining. It's just a waiting game till all the divorces.
[–]sadperson90 20 points21 points22 points 28 days ago
Dude, married people live a life of quiet desperation. Sure the first year or two may be OK but after about 3 or 4 they sit across the table from each other, wishing they could run as far as possible in the opposite direction while they make small talk about trivial bullshit. They post pictures of themselves smiling and looking like everything is perfect on facebook, but that's just because no one stops for photos when they are screaming at each other; no one shows their underlying resentment and true loneliness in a photo.
The guy is so sick of his wife's constant bitching and moaning that he doesn't find her the least bit attractive anymore, then when he can't get it up because of this it is HIS problem. The wife fantasizes about some old boyfriend that she broke up with back when she was younger and life in general was more fun, a fantasy that is impossible to compete with. Whenever he gets a little time to himself he looks up porn and does his thing because it is literally more satisfying than seeing that same woman that nags, complains about her period, and goes to the bathroom in front of him naked. She keeps up communications with some guy she used to know that "understands" her so much more than her husband. What these two have is the most horrible loneliness imaginable, at least someone who is literally alone can be themselves, they can do what they please. Both these people are completely alone without those luxuries, they have to be "adults" and bottle their feelings of depression and loneliness deep inside until they forget who they are without each other, they lose their identities and resent each other even more.
I mean, or else they'll be truly happy for the rest of their lives, who knows?
[–]Celltrex 4 points5 points6 points 27 days ago
So basically humans are polygamous creatures in denial? If this is true, then LOL at how we enforce this torture on ourselves because we "don't live like animals, duuuuuh", whet it is clear that we do far more animalistic stuff than this.
[–]silverscreemer 1 point2 points3 points 27 days ago
Yeah well it doesn't matter if I'd love polygamy or not if I can't get even one person..
But yeah, makes me wonder if I would hold so strong to the "I'd never cheat" stance I hold if I could get any girl I wanted.
[–]Ginnysaurus 6 points7 points8 points 28 days ago
As someone who married at 26 and divorced at 30, this person is right. And it could take many years, or just a few. Or one. I was never lonelier than I was when I was married.
[–]shresthanator[S] 4 points5 points6 points 28 days ago
god damn it I hate to admit it, but I think you...have a point. Usually I hate your comments- but this time you are right.
[–]sadperson90 3 points4 points5 points 28 days ago
yeah what can I say, I'm a cynical bastard. Some people think it is by best quality.

[–]Pigbearmanbearpig 2 points3 points4 points 27 days ago
Its like everyone here read your first two paragraphs then not the last sentence.
Not surprising.
[–]polandpower 1 point2 points3 points 27 days ago
Although I agree with your "waiting game" remark, those last two paragraphs were really depressing, even in terms of FA posts. Even though half of the marriages (or more) are like that.
[–]SlickRoach 1 point2 points3 points 27 days ago
Is this an example, or a personal story? Either way it sounds pretty realistic to me. I have a co-worker in his 40's who's the nicest, funniest guy you could meet but when his wife calls (which is at least several times a day) I see a side of him I've never seen before. He's voice is filled with anger, anguish, and the misery of a large burden. It's odd how the person you agree to spend the rest of your life with makes you the most miserable. I guess being FA can actually be an advantage for once in my life. Can't wait till I get my own apartment so I can buy 10 cats!
[–]sligowaths 1 point2 points3 points 27 days ago
Don't forget the kids. The first one made when everything was pink and love and the second one a failed attempt to save the marriage. If you're a man, add years of paying child support to a child that you'll barely see.
[–]RyanFuller003I lied! 1 point2 points3 points 27 days ago
I'm generally pretty cynical about marriage myself, but I think a lot of the problem is that people have a penchant for getting married simply because they feel it's what they're "supposed" to do at a certain age. Or they decide they want kids, and society still stigmatizes parents with children born out of wedlock. I'd say that more often than not, those are the marriages that don't work out.
[–]Leevar 2 points3 points4 points 28 days ago
Thank you for putting in to words my feelings of marriage. Does this make me a sad person?
[–]sadperson90 6 points7 points8 points 28 days ago
No, I was being a little over the top in that reply to make a point. I know a few people who seem to be genuinely happy, but those are people that are secure in themselves, know their own worth, and really love each other. However, I will say that the scenario above is much more common.
Agreed. A good example would be marriage based on teenage pregnancies.
[–]sadperson90 2 points3 points4 points 28 days ago
Definitely, in those cases there is often added resentment because they feel like they missed out on the teenage partying and having fun stage of life.
[–]Axeman20 2 points3 points4 points 27 days ago
I'm not married and still missed out on those things. :/
[–]sligowaths 2 points3 points4 points 27 days ago
Good thing is, if you are a man, you can have the time of your life when you're in your 30s. Just have to work out and have a nice job.
[–]raver459Chicagoland 0 points1 point2 points 4 days ago
My parent's marriage was a bit reversed: they planned the pregnancy before they got married (but were still teenagers), and so I was bouncing on my grandmother's knee at 9 months old when they got married. They lasted over 20 years, but it eventually unraveled. Frankly, I don't think getting married as a teenager will hardly ever work in the longer term: best to just date until you graduate from college then give yourselves a few years to make money THEN have a nice wedding. I don't understand why people are in such a god damn rush to get married: you got (on average) 75-80 years to live on this earth. Make sure the person you want to spend a large chunk of that time with is a good fit.
This is /r/bestof material: thank you sir/miss
[–]Flowah 1 point2 points3 points 27 days ago
If you've got that many married friends as soon as they hit 22, you've got some... dumb friends...
Some people might be ready to marry at that age, but I fucking doubt it. 50%+ of them are going to be divorced within 5 years. Good for them.
[–]zarisin 0 points1 point2 points 27 days ago
Most of them got married at 22 or older. I have a few more friends under 22 who haven't gotten married but most of them are in long term relationships.
[–]TupacOrBiggie 2 points3 points4 points 28 days ago
You're friends have a 50% chance of divorce.
[–]zarisin 4 points5 points6 points 28 days ago
So if they married each other does that mean its 100%?
What you talkin bout willis?
[–]zarisin 1 point2 points3 points 28 days ago
Bad Joke. If each of my friends has a 50% chance of getting divorced. And then two of them marry each other. 100% chance of divorce. I know that's not how statistics work but it is hilarious.
[–]TupacOrBiggie -1 points0 points1 point 28 days ago
[]_[]
Seriously: getting married before 22 rarely ends up well. And they all (by the way) will probably tell you in private that you're lucky to be single. Marriage looks so pretty on the outside, but it's a serious struggle and commitment every...single...day
[–]ifweburn 4 points5 points6 points 27 days ago
I'm almost 28, and I am officially the last of my friends from high school that isn't married and/or with children. I'm from the south and it seems like most of them paired off really, really quickly. Meanwhile, awkward ol' me is just floating around single. Feels bad, man.
[–]lampreyofsantafey 0 points1 point2 points 27 days ago
Know the feel.
[–]jamurp 0 points1 point2 points 26 days ago
Dude you're 28! Still very young.
[–]ifweburn 0 points1 point2 points 26 days ago
True! But at 28, having never had a serious relationship, surrounded by chicks who've all settled down at around 21-22, you start to feel like an old maid.
21-22 is an incredibly young age to settle down, at least here in Australia. It's your life, not anyone else's. There's no time-frame at all.
[–]amzinai_vienas 1 point2 points3 points 27 days ago
You could at least show some compassion!..

im goin on my mates bucks show down to melbourne for the mebourne cup, ten bucks says that im the one that gets left out of every single cool thing that will transpire that night, ill be the guy standing to the side looking and laughing... not joining in
That is such a good gif. That guy is so damn expressive.
[–]charlestucker3rd 1 point2 points3 points 27 days ago
My brother is marrying in a few weeks, he is a 4 years younger than me. He always seem to had girlfriends around. Myself on the other side never ever had a long lasting relationship, I had 3 girlfriends in my whole life, all just for a few weeks, when I still was a minor. Am I doing something wrong? Is this getting married stuff so important? It's not, that I don't want a relationship, I just have no idea how to start one. One does not simply say hi to a stranger.
[–]bijoudarling 0 points1 point2 points 27 days ago
Why not? I do it all the time or I say good morning.
[–]econguy 1 point2 points3 points 27 days ago
Why do you want to be married? Do you have any idea what a gargantuan pain in the ass it is? Seriously, you're constantly trying to figure out whats going on in the other persons head without directly accusing them of any impropriety.
Trust me. Just don't worry about it, it's not all it's cracked up to be, but if you can find the right person it's not half bad, but not much better than being single. If it is at all.
[–]vagrantwade 0 points1 point2 points 21 days ago
If you are worrying about things like that, it means you married the wrong person. Some relationships are still built on trust.
[–]irrelevant_canadian 1 point2 points3 points 28 days ago

[–]Dolanduckaroo -2 points-1 points0 points 28 days ago
If you value the companionship I understand. But marriage is a horrible for any guy living in the western world. The divorces rates are high and your assets are at risk. It's like playing russian roulette with a double barrel shotgun.
[–]justthrowmeout -5 points-4 points-3 points 28 days ago
Here's the voice of reason. American women are just not the deal. I've traveled overseas in Asia. I'm back in the US now for about 3 weeks now and I'm ready to go back to Asia. Women here are too rude to men and expect too much.
[–]RyanFuller003I lied! 0 points1 point2 points 27 days ago
So many people in my life have gotten engaged or married or had kids over the last two years. It's pretty overwhelming. At first it was a little strange, then I got used to it, and now I see pictures of diamond rings on Facebook and it's just like . . . "another one?! You've gotta be kidding me!"
[–]JoyPF 0 points1 point2 points 27 days ago

[–]PrincessOfChina 0 points1 point2 points 27 days ago

[–]miscsubbin -7 points-6 points-5 points 28 days ago
So instead of being happy for them you find a way to make it about yourself then get angry at them?
I can't imagine why you're alone.
[–]Celltrex 0 points1 point2 points 27 days ago
Instead, imagine why he is jealous, because you are clearly an idiot who cannot figure things that sit in front of you. Being happy for people with fortune is most of the time inhuman, because humans are egotistical, jealous, and most of the time this happens when they can't achieve the same things. This isn't exclusive for FA at all.
