Am I the only one who feels this way? You announce your engagement and everyone now is an expert on EVERYTHING. Everyone is reminding you how you are now going to be evicted from your family and everyone is going to miss you. I’m just trying to go back and remember if everyone felt this way when I went off to college. I don’t remember anyone outwardly expressing these feelings. No one ever told me that leaving was a one-way ticket with no possible return. Apparently, marriage is the ticket with first-class privileges. To be honest, I am tired of hearing how sadhappy everyone is going to be when I get married. I am tired of hearing how hard it is going to be for my parents, especially my dad and baby brother. What am I, dying? I really thought being in engaged was going to be a happy experience, apparently, I have been watching too many Lifetime movies.

I guess this information is very contrast to my beliefs and my experiences. In my family, I never saw how getting married excommunicated you from your family. Being married or not, you will grow up and find your own path which may lead you away from spending every waking moment in which you did while growing up with your family. So to hear people say how much my family is going to miss me is confusing. I actually lived away from my parents for nine years and no one gave me this information.

Here’s what I know:

• My family will still be my family
• I can come and go as I please becaue my family is my family
• I am confident in myself and relationship to know that I am who I am and no one will have to be like “she changed” because of this

Conclusion:

If I listen to the advice that has been coming to me, on June 27, 2019, sometime around 6pm, or whenever I actually sign some legal documents, I will be evicted from my parents house (yes, I still live there) and apparently the closest to me will be sad because things would have been changed forever.
