I Dont Think Marriage Is Necessarily the Answer to Happiness

I can't stand how when people get married, I do see the romance disappear. That once the honeymoon is over, a wife is more like a nurse and a husband is more like a provider. That's how it is in my family. And I hate how when you're married, it's like you're not your own person anymore. Like if I tell my mom something that I always hope she assumes its private, she goes and tells my dad. Nothing could ever be private between me and her anymore. It's a good thing I have friends or I would never be able to talk to anyone anymore. I no longer see the spark my parents had when I was younger. I don't even see them touch each other. Also with my parents, I don't see them have friends of their own. They never hang out with anyone. My mom says it's because my dad is her best friend but that seems like BS to me because I don't see them go out a lot either unless it's a special occasion. My mom is so social. She could have an hour long conversation with someone she runs into at the grocery store but yet she can't have her own girlfriends. But yeah, I'm not cynical about love. I believe love exists. But I do believe that marriage can take a toll on the romance.
