When You’ve Been Dating Forever, But Aren’t Married
People assume you’re making a statement
People say things like, “Good for you—defying societal expectations” and “I really respect what you’re doing.” You aren’t trying to defy anything or do anything. You’re just not getting married. You aren’t subtly giving your middle finger to society or trying to start a movement. You think it’s wonderful that your friends get married. It’s just not for you.
