      In today's society, divorce has become as common as eating, and marriage phobia is also widespread. If you turn your fingers, there are so many people around you who are infected with "marriage phobia", and some of them are even terminally ill.

      Those who fear marriage say that falling in love feels good and relaxing, so why bother binding two people together with a marriage certificate? Getting married is too troublesome, it's better to be lovers. When they get along, they get together, and when they don't get along, they break up. There is no psychological burden. They "rationally" believe that as time goes by, there will always be a time when we get tired of each other, so why bother to restrain others and ourselves? Therefore, they always hold a wait-and-see attitude towards marriage and are unwilling to bet their happiness on their future spouse. Those who have narrow vision and are obsessed with the world of two people all day long are the least promising in the eyes of those who fear marriage.

      There are always many kind-hearted and old-fashioned people nagging in the ears of those who are afraid of marriage: they are not too young and it is time to get married. However, those who are afraid of marriage have many reasons to linger outside the siege. They are afraid of losing their freedom, afraid of being trapped by their wives and children, and afraid that marriage will ruin their existing happiness.

      Those who fear marriage worry that they will eventually be unable to avoid the vulgar ending of marriage, and no one can predict whether they will be happy in the long future. Maybe one day, those who are afraid of marriage will grit their teeth and convince themselves that they have overcome their phobia and step on the red carpet with fear and fear, but the huge psychological obstacles may still make them feel a strong sense of loss. Although I have repeatedly emphasized to myself that marriage is not as scary as imagined, the pressure or fear still lingers.
