Sologamy?

[seer]

As antiquated as the notion is, are you afraid you'll never meet "The One"? Have you considered that maybe you might be "The One" for you?

Last year, in a symbolic ode to what many are calling “sologamy,” a writer from Brooklyn named Erika Anderson joined the long and proud tradition of marrying herself. She held a ceremony for herself, and things have been going her way ever since.

“We’re living in a country where there are more single women than ever before,” Erika explained in an interview with ATTN. “We don’t have to depend on a man for economic benefit.”

OK, I'm not sure if I would marry myself! I always leave the toilet seat up, I have zero cooking skills, tend to fart too much, too opinionated with questionable hygienic practices. I suspect that I would be divorced in short order, and I can't afford alimony payments!

Not sure if I should be more bothered by the concept of self-marriage or the fact that seer is referencing Teen Vogue.

You don't read TV? Loser!

[Faber]

Wouldn't that be same-sex marriage? Then again, maybe if you're bi-polar.

Sounds like the ultimate selfishness to me. Instead of learning to live with another person and becoming more selfless by learning to work with your spouse, their family, and your children, you can enter into a world all about you. Thus the reason why I don’t subscribe to most magazines.

Narcissism.

Sounds like you would end up in a messy break-up after you come home one evening to find out that you threw all your stuff out of the window after pouring bleach on your clothes.

Just what I'd expect some Nazi racist to say

Then there is domestic violence! I'd probably end up in jail!

Wouldn't that just be a waste of time and money? Why not just be single?

Narcissism.

Pretty much. Being married means having to sometimes doing things you don’t want to do, but things you should do for the sake of your family. I will grant that people shouldn’t rush into marriage and not everyone wants to, but as you said, following this advice would likely make you a narcissist. I don’t need to depend on my husband for economic benefit. I am perfectly capable and have done that on my own. I find life is much better and more filling when it merely isn’t all about you.

Clearly you're not prepared for the level of commitment required to be sologamous.

And that is why the culture is falling apart! People like stfoskey are all me, me, me...

I asked me to marry me but I said no.

Do you really wonder why?
