Re: "After marriage, my life ended!"

(Anonymous) 2017-04-27 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)
I've been married 10+ years and while I personally don't feel like I've sacrificed my freedom for marriage, I can sort of understand how others might feel that way. It's not as simple being in a "shitty relationship", it's... complicated. For starters, marriage usually brings with it a fresh set of responsibilities and that takes some getting used to. It also means that when you're at home, your alone time is significantly diminished. You're sharing your personal space now, and even in the context of a good relationship people don't always know how to negotiate their own personal space/time separate from their partner. It's not something you're taught and everyone's needs are different. Finding time to see friends as an individual (as opposed to half of a couple) can be tricky because you're still figuring out how to be a couple so you're juggling two things at once.


Then there's this:

In marriages, women often end up taking on a greater percentage of emotional labor without even realizing it or intending to. People take it for granted that you will, so many women fall into these patterns and it becomes the new normal. It's work that's unpaid and unrecognized, and calling attention to it often puzzles the people around you, like... what did you expect? This is what women are supposed to do.
