“It’s mad how some women will use marriage to shame other women as if it’s the ultimate accomplishment.

“Getting married is easy but marrying someone WORTH marrying isn’t. Yes, you’re married but the single women you’re shaming wouldn’t have dated your husband if they were paid to,” she wrote.

She added that the people she knows who are “MARRIED AND HAPPY” mind their own business as they are too busy loving each other.

“The married and miserable ones though… LAWD!!! They spend the majority of time watching everyone else and gossiping as a means of escapism. It’s sad,” said Toni.

Her views sparked a lot of reactions online with many sharing their thoughts on the topic. While some agreed with her, others criticised her notions.

“Wooo that last part! I’m convinced people are pressed for us to get married because what they REALLY want is for us to join them in their misery. And it’s always the people in the deadest looking marriages who seem to be the most interested in me “settling down”.”

@Erformar said:

“Where the problem lies is that what you women largely refer to as "WORTH marrying" are men who earn more than you and are able to provide a lifestyle that suits your material and social media "God when" standards.”

@Dashback30 replied:

“I’ve been saying this! Getting a man isn’t hard! Getting a man is actually very easy. It’s getting a man WORTH marrying that’s hard. These women marry the first thing that breathes at them and wants to act better than because they’re married.”

“I strongly believe that the women who do this are jealous of single women. Most (if not all) of them are in unhappy marriages & they're jealous that they don't have the liberty single women have. Notice how they only say this to single ladies who live their lives on their terms?”
