"not so sacred bonds"
monday mornings at work, everyone wants to catch up with one another. "how was your weekend?", "did you see X movie?", "did so and so call you?".....yesterday was no different.
i arrived at work and began discussing weekend happenings with my co-worker, C. she is a crazy girl and always has exciting stories to share. she looked like hell, so i figured this past weekend was no different. i asked her what she did. she began telling me how friday night she broke up with her boyfriend. she had been meaning to do this for some time now, as this man is no good for her (and you will soon see why). she was feeling down and called up a friend. mind you, this friend is her husbands cousins wife. that's right. she has a husband and broke up with her boyfriend. a husband she recently celebrated her first wedding anniversary with in vegas. a husband she cheated on within being married less than 3 months.
anyway, she heads over to the husbands cousins house. her husband and his cousin were at work. so the girls pulled out some schnaps and began drinking. apparently, they drank a LOT because when the cousin arrived home around midnight, he found the two of them in bed. you would think this man would be upset finding his wife in bed with another. but instead, he watched. the next morning, C's husband called up and asked if she was over there. C decided to tell him everything that went on last night and again, instead of being upset because she'd slept with another, he was only upset that he wasn't there too.
why do people get married anyway? perhaps i'm old fashioned, but i believe that marriage should happen between two people when they are in complete and total, true, pure, passionate love. so they can proclaim that love to everyone else. marriage is the beginning of a family. it is two people so in love that they create more people, generations to come, a future, a life...together.
why get married if you aren't ready? if you are still going to cheat? why say "yes" or "i do" if you don't mean it? do people settle? do they feel pressured to get married? are people that afraid of being alone that they'd rather spend the rest of their lives with someone they like? and was the article i read the other day stating that 43% of marriages end because a man finds someone else, someone better....was that true?
i'm scared.
