monogamy is a social construct

monogamy was institutionalized because it's beneficial for society

monogamy stabilizes society -- reduces violence

I really don't get jealous but one of the things I get jealous about are couples that met in their teens/first love and are happily married with children. I was a youtube short lang of a couple that met at 15 and 16 and now they have children na. I felt a pain in my heart

When I was younger I was specific with what I wanted and my timeline as an adult. Everything was on track until I reached my mid 20s when things began to spiral down and now I'm nowhere where I wanted to be!

maybe she hasn't been yet hit by enough bricks.

everyone has his/her own fate.
let us not assume that others must follow our own version of fate.
