Cornering Cupid

Marriage? Soooooooo yesterday, who does it anymore? If I turn on the TV or talk to another friend, one more time, and hear about another divorce as a result of a lack of trust or some undisclosed secret, I am going to scream! Trust, is extremely important and the missing ingredient to too many of today’s marriages. So, why commit to someone for a lifetime if you can’t trust them. Heck, if one more husband or boyfriend hits on me, once again, I am going to scream. FaceBook has saved me from being THE/ONE OF THE side chick(s). So, if asked: Is marriage worth the risk? I say no! I say be selfish and make it all about you. No one gets hurt this way. Date as much as you want, making sure to be very clear up front that you want no long term commitment. And, deal with the intermittent loneliness with the purchase of a pet or a child from some third world country. We no longer live in the days where just because you commit before God and your closest loved ones that you will be together for a lifetime that you will actually stand behind your word. I mean ashleymadison.com is a site that says Life is Short, Have an Affair. I am still mad that my time has been wasted at grandiose weddings for marriages that lasted for only 3 months. I could have purchased a pair of Christian Louboutin shoes with that money. Some say that I am a pessimist and that the glass is half full in my eyes, but this is the only way that I can protect myself from getting hurt. Trust is not the only reason why marriages do not work, but it is the MAIN element that sticks out in my mind as to why marriage is no longer the thing to do.
