Re: The “cost” of marriage
For me personally, freedom is something I cannot compromise on. Sure, I’m willing to give up things for my husband/family but what I cannot take is being forced to do things on someone’s whims.
Case in point: My cousin was “not allowed” to cut her hair after she was married. Apparently the in-laws and her hubby were smitten by her thick long hair. I felt like throwing up when I heard this. I would have willingly let my hair grow nice and long if my husband liked it that way, but being ordered to do this was an absolute no-go.
