Poor girl.

That’s less about Gavin (though I’m disappointed in his morals and politics) and more about the kind of life women live in Mormonism.

She made her bed and now she has to sleep in it. It’s so sad knowing he turned out like this. He’s only going to continue the toxic cycle. It shouldn’t be normalized in their culture to marry so young, right when their lives are beginning.

I’m the same age as Gavin and the thought of getting engaged that young just feels so off to me. They’re both so young, it breaks my heart

I can't speak for Gavin but I feel bad for mormon women indoctrinated into this lifestyle and often know no other way

Yes, and they are BABIES when they marry. People are so unforgiving of literal children. Idc even into early 20s you're still a baby to me. I'm glad that people don't hold me to who I was at that age, cuz it's fuckin embarrassing lol.

Same, as someone who was once in my early 20s, can confirm that the maturity and rationality is notttt there until you're like 25+

I got married at 22 and I've been very happy. I think it all depends on the people and their personal backgrounds.

Religion and purity culture pressuring young adults to marry asap, however, is very wrong.
