Marriage is kind of a big deal.
Some people say that younger generations don’t take it as seriously, but I beg to differ.
Yes, people are getting married later and later in life on average, and co-habitating couples often see no need to tie the knot for years at a time, but I’d argue that that means that when people DO finally decide to get married, it means they’ve thought about it a lot, tested the waters thoroughly, and are really really ready to take it on with diligence.
That said, nobody is immune from mistakes, or from second-guessing, as these real anonymous confessions confirm.

But who was that?

It might be easier to just think of the love, and not the what-ifs.

8. “What doesn’t help…”
Sometimes people just take each other for granted.

I like the lol at the end, that really lightens things up.

Well, of course you are.

Do we want the right person or the right now person?
