I fucking hate the concept of marriage.

Maybe it’s the fact that almost everyone in my family has gotten a divorce at least once or perhaps it’s the whole legal/religious ties to it, but marriage to me may as well be seen as crawling even closer to the middle of the cage life puts you in. Don’t get me wrong I have no issues with the concept of love and having a life partner, but to me it looks like when you get married you’re not just marrying your partner, you’re marrying the legal document you sign, the role of a partner becomes more of you than you ever were and you begin to, in a sense, lose your individuality by becoming another doomed member of the marital system. 

I have a girlfriend that I have been seeing for a little over a year now and I know that I definitely love her, however part of what helps keep me constantly loving her  and what helps keep me happy and comfortable in our relationship, is the fact that her and I have the opportunity to leave whenever we so desire, without much consequence to our personal lives. Of course I would obviously be upset by having someone I love no longer be around and it would take some time for me to move on, but it is only my emotions that suffer the consequences, not my personal belongings or my personal life. 

It just seems as if the whole marriage thing is a trap, you can essentially have the exact same thing without the legal ties or social ties to it just by simply staying with this person you love for as long as you desire, whether it be till the day you die or next week. Right now, in this moment, I feel like I could stay with this girl for the rest of my life and be happy and who knows I might, but I’m not a fucking psychic, who knows what matter of bullshittery could occur in the next few years, tying yourself down to marriage feels like pre-ordering a video game you only watched the trailer for only to learn the game will fuck you till it decides it wants to take half your shit. 

I think because we live in a society where everyone thinks that they’re special they automatically seem to think “oohh but me and Dick will never leave each other we love each other too much”. Surprise, surprise now you rarely get to see your kids and there’s a mark in the carpet where the sofa used to be. 

I dunno to me marriage just seems like some stupid, traditional religious ceremony that has been around for so long and been so deeply integrated into our society that we as people can’t accept the idea that the whole love thing isn’t some Disney fantasy where a magic fairy waves a fuckin wand over your head and you live happily ever after, at it’s raw level; love is just a chemical compelling us all to fuck and keep our species surviving. Whether how literally you choose to take that is up to the individual, but the whole feeling of love thing, will eventually die out and you’re left wondering what it would’ve been like if you’d have followed your dreams or savoured your childhood a little more as you sit there with one kid trying to ask you to help you with their book report, while the other blasts shitty YouTubers as loud as he can off his I-Pad, and your now married-for-15-years wife complains about how she wish she had more “me time”. Congrats you just went for the most played out but often forgotten Disney ending there is.
