Wow. I'm only in ny 30s and yet people are practically saying I'm an old maid. I expected more from educated people. I guess at the core, women's worth are still dependent on "catching" a man. I've been in.an abusive relationship and I'd rather be alone than deal with that again.
Majority of pinoys still look down on women talaga.

So I've read,
"... a married man is concerned about the affairs of this world—how he can please his wife—and his interests are divided”
There are instances that being single is better, depending on how you "utilize" being single. One I know who is single was able to help her relatives and other people which I think will be impossible if she were married. She works full-time and still finds time to do volunteer works.
We may argue that she is doing it only so as to "compensate" being single by being useful to the community. Whatever we may think and say, the point is she is living her life to the fullest in a useful and satisfying manner giving glory to her Master.
On the other hand, we may say that being single means that there is something wrong with that person. For example, my friend is in his 50s and he is still "single". A lot of girls around him, literally. I even made a remark / joke about it saying "he goes home wherever he goes". Again, in a literal sense. If he goes to Manila, he goes "home". If he goes to Balanga, he goes "home". If he goes to Bulacan, he goes "home". Even if he goes to work, he goes "home"! Several girls on different places, all at the same time. I pity the guy, and her girls that I've met. This is his way of serving his Master.
Another guy, this time is a "real single". I mean, no girlfriend. I just don't understand why when he is good looking. No particular "useful activities" that I know he's doing. I doubt he is gay, but of course, who knows? My neighbor is also single, but I don't know his story and neither I know if he is good looking when he was younger. Just drives his PUJ.
Now, if a person who is single is just concerned with one's self, peevish, whiner, talks nonsensical about every detail, and whatever appropriate adjectives that you can put here, then this I think is where you have said "everything is wrong". I pity the person and the people around that person. I wonder if my friend "qualifies" as such...
It's worse in India. Women are treated like possessions or expected to serve the husband. The women's career is the least priority.
But they are moving away from that especially in their more modernized cities. Though you'll still find their guys like this out of their country.

So whats your opinions on the clergy giving marital advice to couples? Soon to be or otherwise..

"it is up to the advised, whether they want to believe the advice-giver or not."
it does not take a severe burn on one's finger, to know that fire is hot.
the advice may be with merit, but we are simply too full of ourselves, to give it serious thought.
or the advice is correct, but it goes against our plans.

I wonder what, apart from usual spiritual advice, could they give?
Men of the cloth, unless married in a previous life, cannot give credible advice on married life precisely because they haven't lived it.
Its all scriptural without the benefit of actual experience.

sa simula pa lang hindi pari ang dapat hingan nyo ng advice sa asawa, kasi bawal ang withdrawal saka condom
I don't understand why it's been over a year and I STILL have not moved on from crush. I can't imagine doing physical with any other guy.
There are days when I think of him less but there are days when I think of him 24/7, especially when I come across something or someone that reminds me of him. Like now I watched a movie that reminded me of him.
I drove people away already because I am so fixated on crush but I can't help myself. I was NEVER the boy crazy type before I met himI never really got to talk about it with anyone except my unicorn friend. And it does not help that she sides with crush - she thinks he is perfect nga e

I find my second Mom's doctor cute, but it wore off fast din. How can I move on when I feel no attraction at all towards other men?![]()
I'm just wondering. Do you guys believe in "best friend" sa opposite sèx especially kung may BF/GF/asawa na yung tao?
Ikaw ba papayag na partner mo will go out with their "best friend" daw ng opposite sěx? Dinner and hang out na silang dalawa lang?
