Would you give up a perfectly good career to marry someone you love?
Give up your economic independence for the warmth of a family?
Knowing that you’d probably be facing boredom, be putting up with all the things that you find meaningless – such as arisan dharma wanita, pengajian and PKK.
Knowing that if something happens to the marriage, it won’t be easy to return to the carefree life and the career you had before?
Knowing that being economically dependent puts you in a much weaker position (how many women put up with their husband’s philandering ways because ‘what would happen to my children if we divorced?’)
If you had the choice of love, warmth – I’m not going to say happiness here, because happiness is relative and doesn’t depend on a spouse – family and (probably) security – security of not growing old alone, at least — would you give up your hard-earned career … all the sweat and hard work you’ve put in to be where you are today?
Economic dependence over independence?
Love over possible loneliness?
How far would you go for love?
