I was flipping through channels and came across “Bridezillas” on the WE Channel. For those who have never seen the show, it’s women about to get married who are freaking monstrous during the entire process of planning their wedding.

Many are just over acting to be a “diva” or “queen bitch” and so on. But there are some you know are legitimately a nightmare to date much less marry.

As I watch this one woman go off on EVERYTHING, the groom to be is miserable and getting yelled at. According to friends and family she’s always like that. I’m inclined to believe she is. So why the hell is he marrying her?

To a certain extent I think we are brainwashed to believe we have to fall in the cookie cutter romantic life. You have to get married by a certain age, have kids, etc.

Maybe the sex is just good. But I can’t imagine it’s good enough to sign up for a life time of torment and getting yelled at for freaking everything you do for the next 50 years.

They don’t appear in love. They appear to have settled and accepted this is the way the rest of their life will be. They appear to have a high potential to add to the ever increasing divorce rate.

Maybe if we could learn to be more honest with ourselves and ignore the societal pressure of age and commitment, the divorce rate would lower because people would feel comfortable following their heart…not convention.
