Ugh ugh ugh marriage and family ish
I don’t want to divulge details about family members because if someone *really* wanted to find this blog, they probably could.
but suffice it to say someone very close to me is very close to being engaged to someone they’ve known for less than a year.
And barring the fact that I’m not particularly fond of their choice in partner, neither family is capable of taking on the financial hardship that a wedding represents.
I’ve reserved judgement about how fast the relationship has moved because I felt it was hypocritical to do otherwise- my partner and I were very serious very fast. But we’ve also been together for almost 5 years, and have lived together for nearly half that. We also have no intention to wed, ever, much less reproduce. It’s hard for me to relate to the choices that are being made, particularly because this is a very traditional pair of people who want a big [christian] wedding ($$$) and I honestly find that a little repulsive. Especially because my family is fucking Jewish.
Like, the prospect of experiencing this engagement/bridal shower/wedding/ETC. is giving me full-blown anxiety. My teeth hurt. But I also want everyone involved to be happy, because I care about them.
Something big might be happening this weekend and I just really needed to rant sorrrrryyyy ugh
