"I beat the game"
Lmao, people who think marriage is like the final boss of a video game clearly have no idea what kind of life they're in for. You got married, congrats, you beat THE TUTORIAL. Now welcome to REAL LIFE.
I have met newlyweds like this. They don't last. Nothing wrong with celebrating the marriage, of course, but "happily ever after" is a fairy tale for a reason.
Each people grew up differently. I was taught to live my life and be myself at an early age. But as I grow older I realised not everyone were taught the same. I love my mates but two of them are conformists as if relationships are end-all-be-all. They kinda think that there are arbitrary goal posts to reach at certain age.
Is Occam's Razor the right term here?
What I do know is that people in happy marriages or divorce on good terms are often not the ones making the loudest noise.
While it's true that we should advance at our own pace, what's also true is that we shouldn't get comfortable with the idea that things will always go our way, especially as we age.
Often, having a good relationshio or, better, a marriage is exactly what people need in case things happen that would otherwise leave us vulnerable, and it goes both ways.
