Well the discussion at work today was marriage. The guys (35+) viewpoint came from currently being in a marriage for x amount of years, while us girls had thoughts on what we could expect from being in a marriage. Let me just say this had to be the most depressing conversation I've ever had. After every man admitted to cheating on their wife with the excuse being "Nobodies perfect" I knew this might be a wake up call. When I reminded them that they took a vow to their wife and God, one quickly cut me off and said "vows don't mean anything." -_- One man said the only reason he got married was "I felt the need to settle down" O_o That's it. Are you serious! He had no compliments about her other than "I felt the need to settle down." Am I the only one living in a fairytale world where I would want my husband to tell people he got married because "I found my soul-mate," "to spend my life with my best friend" or even "being a committed support system for the person I love." Shit something thoughtful. The other thing that scared me was these are grown ass men not twenty year olds they were 30+ men. A BIG WHAT THE FUCK. Then one guy asked what I wanted. Nobody has ever asked me that before so it literally took 10 minutes to respond. I told him I wanted a best friend. Simple but true. Of course there is no rush I'm only 20 but after this conversation I'm just a tad disturbed.

Taylor! This is such a reality check. The mind set of females and males are so different. I thought that as we matured the idea of commitment (being a choice made out of love and not convenience) was on the minds of not only females, but I guess I was wrong.
But the little bit of hope I still have is telling me that there is such thing as soul-mates and that the possibility of running into a guy who truly wants to invest in the idea of marriage because they can't live without me, is possible. But don't worry we'll find THAT guy!
RIGHT, it was a big WOMP. Forreal. All in time though shit marriage and kids are not anywhere near my PLANNED future
