I guess she would know herself better than anyone else would.

maybe "bitter" is a harsh word.

i agree with most of what yall have said. and honestly, IF the right person comes along and im feeling it, sure, break out wedding bells. and i dont base my decision of not wanting to be married on just my parents' failed marriage, but off other marriages - grandparents, uncles, cousins, family friends, etc. its hard to imagine a happy marriage for myself because i didnt grow up around it. in similar fashion, i cant see myself having children and enjoying it because ive never seen any joy from parents that i know. it always seems more like a job than a joy, a burden rather than a blessing.

Soror BlueReign is right -

Women feel like they don't have to put up with stuff to keep a roof over their heads so they don't.

my mother aside, ive never had to depend on anyone - a man or otherwise - to support me. and i dont mean that in a "im a strong independent woman so there!" way, but i've always done things by myself or for others. sure, i know there are a few things a man can do for me that i cant but really i been starring/directing/producing/writing my own show. why share those royalties when i could possibly get duped?

take a chance on love? pshaw. whatever man. im not convinced.
