Just curious and been meaning to ask. Has anyone else experienced the not allowed to date growing up/finally "allowed" to be in a romantic relationship/realizing that relationships are overrated trajectory?
Apologies if this is too negative for the sub...I do look back on all of it with amusement. :p

I married someone who i thought is a friend just because I didn't want to marry a stranger in an arranged marriage. Didn't work.
The only arranged marriages I have seen reasonably work are ones where both the parties are deep rooted in religion and culture which forms a basis towards shared interests and way of life.
Arranged marriages are a scam and a pure gamble. The ones who did it in past stayed stuck in it for kids or family pressure. The ones who are doing now are doing because they have no choice or they cannot find their partner on their own due to their incompetency. Perhaps we should come up with mid term marriages in today’s world
Never been married but seen arranged marriage couples from third world countries. Most have this dead look in their face and just seem to be living for the sake of it and being together for society
