Today, my sister got married. For the second time. She's 30. Two men have loved her enough to cry over their vows to her. Every single person there asked me why I wasn't married yet. FML

Your sister had a failed marriage already by 30. You're jealous? Try holding out for someone decent. Anyone can just go around marrying everyone who will give them the time of day. That's nothing to envy.

You may not get to experience the "joys" of marriage yourself, but at least you'll get to hear her descriptions of it everytime she complains about his laziness, sleeping in, bathroom nastiness, dirty socks all over, stinky feet, messy food and drink spills all over the kitchen, constant unwelcome groping despite her mood, constant need for sex despite her feelings, not helping at all with the baby and on and on and on... you wouldn't believe the stories I've heard when girls were sharing the "joys" of marriage. lol

marriage is amazing. i'm sorry you haven't gotten to experience it yet but i am sure you will. and as for all the people who list the "joys" of marriage, you need to find the right guy. then none of that will happen and you will enjoy marriage as it is intended to be enjoyed: God's gift for His children. And it is simply amazng.

"Because I'm not fickle and actually believe in commitment." Is all that needs to be said.

While I agree being divorced before thirty is bad not being married yet show others that your wierd,untrustworthy or a *****. Real classy women marry off and have kids to carry on her husbands name. Its the circle of life. It is indeed a FML OP as thirty is old for women. By that age your prettybmuch washed up. Sad but true!

35 and you are considered an "old age pregnancy" in the medical establishment. Tenebrific Turtle called marriage an "archiac" institution, but I think most of us would to get married and have kids- the problem is guys have until their thirties, and women peak in their late twenties. The OP is nervous, because she is thirty and getting older. Men her age are probably successful, and ready to settle- the problem is they can pick younger women. Men value beauty, women value success. I am not saying it is impossible to get married at an older age, but the truth is women "age" quicker than men. I don't know if other women feel this way (I'm 24) but I feel like my youth is on an hourglass timer. :(

I did not mean I do not believe people can be married, I was saying that if Op is being pressured into marriage by the ideals of the people around her and feeling put out because her sister seems "worthy" and she is without someone then she shouldn't have to feel that way.

I honestly don't see how this is an FML...u should be happy b/c there's something she's not doing right...30 & married 2x...the 1st guy left her for whatever reason even though he poured his heart out when they got married, see if this one lasts, if not she's seriously messed up & u should be proud that u don't have any UNSUCCESSFUL marriages!

A lot of people seem to be assuming the worst on here! I also figured the first hubby might have passed away.

Comparing yourself to her will get you nowhere. There is nothing wrong with not being married.

OP, you ought to listen to SOMAgirl. She's saying a lot of what I tried to say, but she has done it so much better. Besides, she has a lot more cred than a bitter, old guy. SOMAgirl, I might just start sending you my ideas for comments and asking if you can imbue them with your magic.
