To think being married isn't all that

[LadyScatterbrain]

A friend of mine is getting married in a weeks time. She's 38. She has done nothing but go on and on and on about the wedding and how she can't wait to be married. I've been married 11 years and although we're happily married we've been through a lot of ups and downs and stuck together through thick and thin. It's been hard at times. I want to tell her it's not all hearts and flowers and lovey-dovey stuff.
I obviously don't say anything cos it's special for her etc etc, but she's honestly in cloud cuckoo land I think.
If I were single either by divorce or widowed, I wouldn't ever get married again.

Oooo Mrs Bitterpants, I’m sorry you feel like that, really. But your friend is just starting out on her married life and being excited is all part of it. Don’t pee on her parade, if you can’t be excited for her I suggest you keep your mouth cloooooosed.

Cavoli, if that was a response to me I was being sarcastic. Obviously if marriage really isn't "all that" then surely she'll already know because as a live in couple you are already a married couple in lots of ways, aside from the legalities.
Marriage doesn't reallg change anything if you're already a long term relationship imo.

God I hope none of my friends are as miserable as you when I get married OP.

Maybe your energy would be better off spent examining what element of your own relationship is making you so sour
