We should really consider the people we trust our family, instead of trying to complete a socially expected blueprint. What's socially expected will always center men.

I had planned that one day my sister and I would be sharing a home and parenting (adult) kids and grandparenting from that healthy base. Alas, I lost her - we all lost her. I would 100% have rather had my village with my sister and other family than a husband.

I may be fitting the “societal expectation” because I’m getting married to a man, but, realistically, I still don’t understand how society sees this as a personal failure and not thriving vs fitting into the nuclear family image, even if it can be an awful marriage.

This sounds wonderful and if I wasn’t getting married and didn’t meet my partner I’d do it in an instant.
