Lets get married!!! Lets wait.

[sSsflamesSs]

The community in LA is mostly fake. Finding a genuine person is kind of hard. Like finding a diamond in the rough. Especially in Glendale. Everyone wants to be on top of everyone else financially. It's funny how inside their own box (known as Glendale) Armenians are like kings, but outside they are like pu$$y cats because all they know how to do is judge their own and lie to each other in order to succeed themselves. It's pretty sad.

I lost this one girl to an arranged marriage one time. Totally pissed me off

I did what I could, but because the guy was "financially stable" and her parents REALLY liked him and had barely met me, they went ahead with it. It's funny because after they got married, he ended up abusing her every now and then so she ended up trying to call me to rescue the situation, but it's already to late. They were already a family of their own and I didn't want to get caught in the middle.

Oh well.

Oh my, that's terrible.

But yes, the first paragraph rings so true.

Lets just be careful at how much we judge .......we all do it.. but lets try not to contradict our sayings by our actions.. what we describe here is the lack of everything in a state of utopia.. so what in essence is being desciribed is the impossible.. cause utopia is just that...

Correctness? Is it just me, or is the community in LA COMPLETELY different?

It's the hayastanian way

1). Stud TRUE! but was the girl's fault too. If she really loved u she should stay with u, but she is the materialistic daughter of her parents.
2).I have to say this: the "bad" mixture always is on the surface, when u look down the surface all the good things are around.
3).I always believe that there is more than one soulmate.
4).Money for most non-educated people is the bottom line.
5).What the neighbors think is the most important.
6).Life goes on.
7).One day unexpectedly a nice person will be your partner in life.
8).I'm such a philosopher
9). I am a SAGITTARIAN.

PEACE

The girl might have been forced to marry the guy or she might have been brainwashed by her parents and her family to marry. Surely she could have argued her parents about it, but we don't know the girl. She might have been a goody goody who listens to her parents' every word and obeys their every command.
ARRANGED MARRIAGES SUCK and it is another reason why some people marry young.
I wonder how we'd see this if we lived during the time when arranged marriages seemed fine to the majority of people and that it was considered normal. Our reaction towards it would have probably been different. Egh, don't even want to think about that.

I don't know about that girl, but there's no way in hell that my parents or anyone could arrange a marriage for me. If I don't like the guy, then there's no way around that. I just don't understand it when people whine, "but she had no choice". Believe me, there's always a choice.

Yea but lets say she didn't marry the guy. Her parents are absolutely furious with her and heck they might even disown her. Her parents' unhappiness is hanging on her shoulders so she feels that she has to marry the guy for her family to be happy. YES! Crazy to us, normal for them.

Thank God my family and I are crazy.

If her happiness does not matter to the parents, I say phuck 'em. She'd be an idiot not to realize this. If the parents' happiness regarding their daughter depends on anything OTHER than HER happiness, then they are obviously messed up upstairs. And if they DO disown her, so what? I suppose getting abused by a controlling monster of a husband is better?

[angelik22]

okie one question- why would her parents disown her? i cant get it through my thick head-- when i think of disowning i think of the reason being something like getting wit hsomeone whose of another race, or because their gay - not that i have anything against those two things, but its weird that parents might disown their children because they dont marry who the parents want them to marry--- i dunno maybe i havent been exposed to that kind of mentality, but i just dont get it-
