No divorces in my family though but I am still afraid to get married. Big mess on a divorces money wise and more if there are kids involved. It can wipe both parties out financially. I am from a South Asian family though and marriage is big part of the culture. People will think I am a loser if I don't get married.
Just forget about the grown up thing. Everyone has a different definition of what being grown up means, and I am in total agreement with you all - buying a house, getting married and having children does not make you "grown up".
I was just curious to see if it irks anyone else, that's all. How it makes you feel.
No it doesn't affect my life, or have anything to do with me, but I do feel sorry for them sometimes. When it comes to relationships I must admit I am a bit of a pessimist. I think nothing lasts forever.
If you truly don't want that life for yourself, I don't understand why it irks you so. Why not be happy for them and wish them the very best? It makes me think you might be kidding yourself about your own relationship goals.
Perhaps you are pessimistic about relationships because your own relationship is... lacking.
Am I the only one that cringes just a little bit every time another friend pops up as being engaged, married or pregnant?
Part of me feels like I am being left behind and maybe I should start getting serious, but another part of me says "meh, I'll do it tomorrow".
I don't have facebook, but I overhear quite a lot complaining that A commented on B's post but A didn't comment on their post. Or B friended A but B didn't friend me, yadda yadda yadda...
The other thing I see is if someone I know happens to be on there while I'm with them, I look over their shoulder and what do I see?

I have a Facebook account and rarely go on it. I don't spend my time finding out what other's are doing with their life. I've got enough living to do of my own.
Everyone is not destined to have the same future so why are you using their life to measure yours by?
Be glad you're alive, well, happy and loved. That's all any of us want out of life.
meh, most of these "grown up" people bore me. they buy a house, then spend hours rambling about all the repairs, rennovations, and bills they have. i dont care - its not even interesting.
same with kids...people ramble on and on but the stories arent really interesting to anyone but the parents. they never realize this
my brother in law is a pretty cool guy. they got a house and he spends hours talking about it and what hes been doing to fix it up now. hes gone from cool to me not standing hearing him talk half the time
