    Font - In our country, a lifetime of a marriage #commitment is done in just one meeting! But to commit to a #company, you need to grill and get grilled a lot! Why??? Shlok's Shlok! P.S. Suffering through the world's 2 biggest sorrows now: No Job & Getting Married!

    Font - ASPIrant101.5 hr. ago It's good that his marriage was decided in one meeting because 5 rounds of meetings between families over two months would have resulted in no wedding for him. Reply Share 85

    Font - wgtowunited +1.5 hr. ago I come from a culture with arranged marriages, and most of the time you can say "no". Yes, there are cultural repercussions and his parents/ community may be pressuring him into it. But its also ok to say "no" and look for someone else. If he considers this marriage one of his biggest sorrows, why is he going through with it?

    Font - 4 hr. ago Justdroppingsomethin There are cultures where "arranged marriage" is basically just parents playing Tinder for you, which funnily enough I think. a loooooooooot of Redditors would benefit from. They know someone who they think might suit you, similar age/class/morals and they set you up on a date. Doesn't sound so bad if it is done without a metaphorical gun to your head.

    Font - +1-2 hr. ago wgtowunited I'm not gonna lie, if my parents could set me up with a guy I would appreciate it. I don't mean a random dude, but someone whose family they know and who has a good job, and who is a good person whose values I share. A couple times ladies tried to set me up with their son but the sons weren't interested, but I was down. It would start the dating process, but the decision would have been entirely our own. I'm too Americanized though.

    Font - Justdroppingsomethin 2 hr. ago Yeah, that's the stuff I mean. If you trust your parents, they would probably be able to find. you somebody. As long as they won't exonerate you for not getting married, might as well go on the date, no?

    Font - naidubharath89 29 min. ago I have an arranged marriage and both of us had full agency to agree or decline. We've been happily married 6 years. We've had minor hiccups (who doesn't), but it's been fine. Maybe I got lucky... it isn't always cut and dry like most things

    Font - j4321g4321 +2. 13 min. ago I could be wrong but it seems like one of those "I hate my wife" jokes and/or a commentary on how stressful wedding planning is.

    Font - AngryAnalystAsshole 3 hr. ago Washington University's MBA is highly ranked and well respected in the business community. They must be absolutely mortified by this guy's routine insanity that gets put on full display to the world on LinkedIn. 56 ↓ Reply Share descartesbedamned 46 min. ago 10 . We are. The worst part is that he's not trying to be funny. Reply Share
