Wtf even is "late" marriage? There's never "too late" of a time to get married....like...?

u/Abe_Odd Feb 04 '24
Socially late.
Late enough that people are "starting to ask questions why she's unwed".
Late enough that she's labelled a spinster.Late enough that it is perceived as a rebellion against the standards of gender roles.

It was always my dream to own property as a spinster.
I got married socially late but ruined my chances. Now I just own property as a stupid wife.

I grew up Mormon. I'll never forget my oldest sister breaking down in tears after she left her abusive ex, and telling my mom that she was worried she was gonna die an old maid.
My sister was 22 at the time. That church did a fucking number on younger women, convincing them that they had to immediately get married to a "good", returned missionary to fulfill their worldly duties (pump out as many kids as possible).

Indeed. Which was why polygamy was instituted early into the church's history. Well, that and the fact that Joseph Smith wanted a harem of teenage girls, and he needed to normalize the idea of plural marriages.

Some people live their lives for other people's approval fearing what other people is saying about them.
Life really starts when you realize most people's opinions don't matter and the people that gossip live unhappy lives and that's why they focus on other people's lives.
If you just live for yourself and the people that show that they care about you, You will live a happy life.

I feel like I get this but with having kids. I'm the only person over the age of 25 at my job, friends group, and family who has no kids. The number of times I've been nagged to get cummed in is exhausting! I want babies one day, but I'm not super focused on it right now.

My mom has a friend who just got married for the first time in her 70s. I thought that was really sweet.
As a middle aged spinster, myself, I personally love being single. I don't even care to get married when I reach 70. I am healthier and happier without a life partner.

I got married at 21, divorced at 31.
I’m now 41. I’ve been with my fiancé since the same year I got divorced. I’ve had the ring for….2 yrs? I just can’t bring myself to really care about getting married again. I’m sure we’ll go to the courthouse and have an excuse to do a nice trip/honeymoon someday. Meh. By the way I’m more in love with him even after 10 years than I ever was with my ex. I just don’t need to “prove it.”

it's a fear of people who have nothing to offer but their looks, so when those spoil they have nothing left to offer. Maybe the lesson here should be to not depend on anyone else or any one quality trait to get by in life...

Afaik having children in late (?) thirties increases the chances of genetic defects up to the levels of cousin marriage, and it further worsens from there
That's not too bad, but also something a person might want to avoid, all else being equal

u/Leonhart93 Feb 04 '24
There is also the sharp decrease of chances of ever getting pregnant. I heard that even artificial insemination has only about 50% chances of ever working after a point.
2
u/westwoo Feb 04 '24 edited Feb 04 '24
Uhhh... this doesn't sound right to me but I'm all out of hyperfocus for today to research something completely pointless for me
That chance of genetic defects is afaik just few percent, not like afaik 50% when a son marries his mom and their children go on to marry their mom as well, which is the worst incest imaginable. Don't quote me on any of that, those are probably very rough numbers :)

u/Leonhart93 Feb 05 '24
I wasn't talking about the genetic defects part, I was talking about chances of getting pregnant in the first place as an "in addition to it". Because the limited egg count is a real thing.

Marriage may contain many typical parts even though technically it's just singing a paper and nothing else, those people may never see each other ever again and it will still count as marriage
But looking at just the paper signing and not any of the optional parts to understand something about marriage is probably a bit silly :)

Prevention is better than reaction.
No abortion is without risks, why bother putting yourself in a position whereby you are willingly taking on unneeded risks, and potentially having it affect your mental health, when you can avoid those situations in the first place.
