Fear of Marriage

[Melanie717]

Has your mental health impacted your decision on whether or not you should get married? Did anxiety stand in your way?
Lack of confidence in supporting a family, fear of passing on mental illness to children, you name it.
Did you get married anyway?

I won't lie, I am very scared of getting married. I have seen people that were once cheerful and very happy as single people, turning out to become very miserable after they have gotten married. Some people would say that they married the wrong person. But how does one even know the right person?

Well, I did not want to get married. I I was afraid, I would lose my freedom, I was afraid I would have to work day and night just to provide for the family. I was afraid of responsibilities. But then I got married and the fear vanished. I think it is very common for people to be afraid of marriage because it demands a lot of commitments and responsibilities.

I am not even afraid of responsibilities. As a woman, it is demanded that you submit to your husband. My fear is in choosing a terrible person. I would have to submit to him regardless. And that would mean I have jeopardized my life. And I don't ever want to marry and divorce.

Well, as someone who has been married with two kids, I can tell you if you are married to the right person, you will be a happiest person in the world and if you are in a bad marriage, you will be the saddest person.

I’m not married, but I don’t have fear. Marriage is a significant commitment, and while I understand why some may feel anxious about it, I see it as a personal journey that depends on mutual understanding, readiness, and shared values.

No. I’ve been married twice in the past. I don’t see myself getting married again, but I will date again.

My mental health didn’t affect my marriages.
