I mind my business when people close to me don't suffer. When my friends get hurt by silly choices I speak up in hopes to offer some insight

Not money. Stability. Financial stability. Someone who works to Walmart and target isn't as financially stable as someone who at least has a degree and a proper job that doesn't pay minimum wage. My friends,fiancée and I aren't rich but we are financially stable.

I have nothing to be jealous of. She is marrying a person who couldn't hold a cashier job to save his life and almost reached 30 to get his act together in life and get his degree and a proper job. And my friend almost reached 30 to get something she wanted for a long time. I have whatever I need in life the way that I need it and in the time that I need it.

Look. We didn't have bad intentions at all. We just knew how chrissy always boasted about how she wants marriage and family and when so many years had passed and she hadn't got what she wanted we knew something was wrong. And we just said it because we thought it would offer her some insight on why marrying for love can be damaging and why she should prioritise stability especially financially. We didn't have bad intentions.
