To Marry or Not, or Never?
"Will you Marry me?"
--
"No, I can't!"
"Whoa, I didn't expected that."
"I'm sorry, it's just that I hate weddings, I don't want to get married. Can't we just stay as like this, like what we currently have right now. No wedding and such, we love each other. Isn't that enough?"
"Do you hear what you are saying right now? We love each other, we care for each other and we want to be together. Of course that includes marriage because that's the right thing to do."
"But why we have to do the right thing. We can be an exemption to the rule. We love each other and we want to be together, we can live together who cares about marriage. That's still not enough?"
"No! I want to be committed by you. I want it to be legal and I want it blessed from above. Come on Hon, why don't want to get married. Do you really love me? Are you not certain yet about us being together? Are you doubting it?"
"No, it's not like that. We are not together until now if I am sure with you yet. I love you, I know you feel that. What I am saying is, I don't want to get married. We don't need that. As long as we know to each other that we are made for each other, then that's enough. Please think of it, it is just marriage that I don't want. I love you."
"Then Marry Me! Please."
"I can't, I don't want to get married."
"Then give me a reason, a valid reason as to why we shouldn't get married?"
"I can't, all I know is I don't want marriage. But I want you."
"It doesn't make any sense. It is not a good reason. I mean, that's not even a reason at all. What's happening to you Gail? Do you have someone else?"
"I said, I LOVE YOU! Of course, it's only you. Can't you just respect that I don't want marriage. Can we just forget that and live happily? Without that!"
"I can't accept that. You are not even giving me a valid reason. Why we can't, why we shouldn't and why??? Really, Gail it's not funny at all. Here I am planning our future but it seems like, I am the only one who want it. Some people would jump into happiness if they were asked marriage, but you. I can't understand Gail. It's just, it hurts."
"It's just that, I hate it. That's my reason."
"But why you hate it? Tell me!"
"Oh come on! Just stop! I don't want to get married snd that's it. The end!"
"So you are ending our relationship right now? Our ten years of being together? Just like that? Is that what you mean?"
"No! Arghhh! I'm tired with this. Let's just stop for now please?"
"I love you Gail, so much. But if you can't accept my proposal thrn don't. Let's just end it all. For real."
"Fine! If that's what you want. Goodbye!"

So, I can imagine myself to be another Gail who will turn down a marriage proposal if ever someone ask me to. I know it's impossible but that's just a scenario, lol. I can imagine myself living alone because I don't want to get wed. As for mr, the main reason I don't want it is because, I don't have a juwa kasi, hahaha kidding aside - it's because I feel like marriage now is not enough for your relationship to your other half to last long. Like even if you are together for so long but they still chose to cheat on you.
Marriage now is not a guarantee that your other half will stay with you until you die. Call me a coward or what but I don't want to get married. That's what I want for now. I am not sure of what's thr future hold, but for now, I chose not to commit myself to anyone. It's what I want, it's my choice. And that's that
