View submission: What's something you never understood about the opposite gender?
This comes from a generational idea that marriage is a life stage achievement that needs to be achieved within a specified time of your life, or else you're a failure. After this achievement is unlocked, *you're stuck with your decision!* Failure (divorce) isn't an option. Marriage was about financial security, building generational wealth, and securing the family line. Love was seen as rare, so not something worth holding out for.
There's nothing here!
