Unhappiness and instability demands explanation. So that's what you're doing.

46 years old toddler in an adult's body.
I listened up until where she was yabbing sh1t about 'how their mothers suffered in marriages,' as one of the reasons she is single at 46. Classic victimised, egoistic, dishonest, and deluded feminist who at this age and time still believes only men are wrongdoers, or that it is only women who are tolerating men in marriages. Complete waste of my time.

Why is she now looking somehow? Like I can't describe!

It's your decision and life, don't bring us into it.

Leave those married to also live their lives. Where shocked me is when she said she has never seen a married happy woman before, meaning, her growing up was toxic and yet, in same narration, she stayed she had a wonderful family growing up. She succeeded in confusion me

Give her more 5yrs from now when all her friends will be occupied with family issues to even hang out or gist with her on phone, that's when the loneliness will kick in and she start regretting.
Does your happiness and peace of mind revolve around friends gisting with you? If yes, then you need to see a therapist.

Exactly
zed7:
Marriage is not compulsory. It's better for some people to remain single than to mess up another person's life by being married to them.

Many horrible people have gotten married and made other innocent people's life miserable. Stay away from marriage if you have no value to bring to another person's life.

LordLicifer:
So what is the point of been in a relationship twice or more? If one can be in a relationship for 5 years then they can be in a marriage for 5 years cheesy some marriages don't even last up to 5 years.

Confused or what? Same way one nigerian girly told me, " you must marry me before i can have babies with you" but she was always in my bed every weekend for sex even though we were not married..
It's not the same way

Anyone can have sex, not everyone can be responsible for what comes out of reproductive sex

If you have no regrets why mount a camera and ring light to tell us? undecided

She should keep deceiving herself.
Don't mind her. Let her continue to deceive herself

AZControversial:
Unfortunately, those were her words. You were the one who didn't read that part.

According to the story "her observations of marriages around her gradually influenced her opinion on the institution."
Okay, this ancestor would agree to that. The environment does have a lot to play in whatever anyone becomes. All depends on their own observation and interpretation of the experience.

Thanks for reminding us.

I am a woman who is glad that more women are being born compared to men. The lesser male birth we have, the lower the incidences of social vices such as armed robbery, kidnapping, etc.
Axis313:
Many people don't know that the system didn't favor women at all.
In my neighborhood sometime ago,in a week six babies were born, five were girls and one boy, and I am sure the pattern will almost be the same everywhere.
When one male chose one of those females to marry,who is going to marry the remaining four?
But all of us have adopted the Western style of marriage and nobody sees anything wrong in marrying one wife and have unlimited number of mistresses.

This one too will disciple some people with her spurious story.

She is still young, reality will hit her when she's 60.

May be she thinks Nigeria has old people's home.

Have a cousin like her who thinks she's living her best life. A woman at that age can never be happy in such predicament as it goes against their nature. Women with their crab-in-a-bucket mentality, always dishing out bad advice because misery loves company.

I have a woman who is like a mother to me. She calls me son. I love her so much.

Shes in her late 60s. She has no children. She’s a widow.

She tells me this is her worst regret. And I understand.

She’s been scammed by people a lot. Mistreated. And above all, very lonely.

When I am around, I drive her around. She takes me shopping. Very kind. Very generous.

She gave me a place to stay in California when I was there for 3 months.

But now she’s alone.

Since I traveled, she keeps telling me what people around her are doing.

They want to take her house which she inherited from her husband.

Recently she had a stroke. Has been in coma for weeks now. Unable to speak.

You will think it is fun to be single and without the burden of children or spouse.

But like I told someone recently.

God doesn’t take the life of a woman, for her poor choices.

He lets her live out the harvest of it.

There’s a harvest, ladies. And it is coming. According to your choices.

That’s why Proverbs 31 ends with the line

“Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.

Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.”

Old age is the woman’s harvest.

Men may die earlier. But a woman’s old age reveals how she spent her youth.

Let her who has ears, hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches.

Amen.

Demonic01:
The human brain is wired to always form up self defense mechanisms to any circumstances one finds he or herself.

Even if you become a failure, your brain will still generate reasons to justify your failure.

In a nutshell, This lady's video is a damage control probably made to clear the air amidst people probably pressuring her.

No woman born in a complete family will not idealize the reality of marriage unless she grew up in a dysfunctional family.

Argue with your forefathers, nah you know, as for me, i will only take her post as a rage bait since she is seeking to trend through controversy.
another angle; most of these ladies are not into men. They belong to women-loving-women group. Rather than embracing their identity, and come out of the closet, they prefer to shame marriage, and make it seem that getting married is a bad choice.
