[QUOTE="gregorius, post: 1863252, member: 24565"] I agree. I got married to my first wife (who I met in church) due in large part to pressure I felt from my family and social group. I was young and I was still really wrapped up in the church and it was expected. It never seemed to be a question of "if" but "when". We had been together quite a while so there started to be a lot of questions about why we hadn't pulled the trigger. Well, the reason was we shouldn't have been together, let alone married - but I succumbed to the pressure and we finally got hitched. I was such a basket case on the day of the wedding that I had to take xanax to get through it - I was ready to run away like I was on some bad reality TV show or something. In retrospect, that would have been better. Much better. Needless to say it was a complete disaster and I ended up divorced about a year later. Had it not been for the pressure from my family and the church, that failure would not have happened. I let the church dictate what I was going to do rather than doing what was right. I certainly grew up a lot after that experience, but something tells me there are easier ways to get there than the way I chose. [/QUOTE]
