Our class discussion on choosing to be single was a real eye opener for me. I dated a guy over four years, during those years we experienced lots of changes. I was still in high school when we first started dating, so going to college was exciting for me. But I don't feel like I got as involved in school as I could have because he resisted me changing. Then when he went to school, he joined a fraternity and I then had issues accepting the new person he was becoming. We eventually broke up because I could no longer deal with the new guy the fraternity turned him into.
I took Sociology-Marriages and families, and after that class, I began questioning whether or not I really wanted to get married. So a lot of these same issues we talked in class I have been thinking about. For example, I see a lot of my friends getting married and have children. I never before questioned having children, but now I almost have the feeling that children would limit my life style. I love being an independent person and feel that having kids wouldn't allow me to travel and do things that I want to. I am also scared that if I do marry someone, what if they cheat on me. Sometimes I wonder if marriage is a good idea because the divorce rate is so high. I'm sure one day I will change my mind, but college courses like this one make me question "Is it really worth it?"
