The student said she will attend her friend's wedding during the holiday this Pentecost. The husband wants to get married, but she doesn't. She has already spent
money to buy a house and wants to save money for the baby. But he said they
can't have children without being married. He is busy with work and spends 3
hours a day commuting.
She said she doesn't understand: if her friend is unhappy,
why did she choose this guy? If they are unhappy now, she wonders why people think
having children will make them happy.
I said not having children is worse. Many
workers are unhappy with their jobs, but they still go to work. Many people are not
happy with their lives, but they're still alive. She said she just feels pity
for her friend, because she's "beautiful and nice". They were not close at
university, but when she started work in Hong Kong, she shared a room
with her.
