As someone (in part) from a culture where arranged marriage is normal (not common but normal) it’s not the same as a forced marriages, an actual arranged marriage is “hey meet this person and if you hit it off go on some more dates then marry each other” (basically a blind date but set up by families or matchmakers), a forced marriage is often called an arranged marriage (and technically it’s not wrong), but I want to distinguish the two, because arranged marriages (that aren’t forced) are often very happy and successful :). Hope this helps explain why some people still defend or do it :)

[@MoriKitsune]

Worst thing I heard while pretending to be asleep was on a night during the early phase of my parents' divorce when I was about 11 years old. My mom went to sleep on the couch, and in solidarity I went and laid down to sleep on the loveseat. In the middle of the night, my dad came out and started absolutely (verbally) tearing into my mom. He didnt even raise his voice, just kept it menacingly low and tore her to shreds with words until she started crying and telling him that the judge said he wasn't allowed to talk to her like that in front of the kids. He snapped back that I was asleep so it didn't count, and I promptly opened my eyes and said no I'm not, and I heard everything. They both stopped talking and stared at me with wide eyes, and my dad left the room after that. That was over a decade ago, now. I bet they think I've forgotten.

[@2near_death]

[@your_favorite_artist]

[@MoriKitsune]

@2near_death Actually decent; it got worse before it got better. I did completely cut contact for a few years, and it's my husband's doing that I reestablished contact at all My dad has done a lot of growing these past 5 years or so- he's had a bit of an awakening to how much bs he put other people through (especially before and during the divorce,) he's done some deconstructing on his machismo, and self-reflection on why he's like this (his own childhood was Gd-awful.) I think he might've done a few sessions with a psychologist or therapist because from what he's told me, he's recieved at least 2 mental health diagnoses. He's also sincerely apologized for what he put me through, so that helps. Nowadays, he's moved on from my mom, and we can actually talk without getting upset with each other (as long as we don't get too deep into politics/economics lol) and I can call on him when I need help, and I know he'll be there as soon as possible.

It’s really the worst thing you could hear. Mom crying is one thing, which still makes me sad. I’ve seen her cry a few times, nothing humongous though.

Those occasions were the day we found our cat (who was alive longer than I was at the time) dead on the living room floor on a Sunday morning, the day before we put our dog Fudge down after being diagnosed with a second form of cancer atop another form of cancer and arthritis, the day we put him down, and my grandmother’s (his mom) funeral. Any other time, he was either quite stoic or laughing about something or other. I know he’s only gonna be 54 this year, but I’m dreading the day he passes cuz I know I’m gonna lose it when he goes.

good distinction Another thing to keep in mind is that, if (and it's a big if to be sure), your parents/other adults in your life are wise and know what makes a good relationship, they'll be a lot better able to choose a suitable match for younger people than they would themselves So on average, if we're talking about specifically the 'not forced' variety of arranged marriage, I could be convinced that the success and failure rates are pretty comparable.

(TW - SA & Child Abuse) When I was about 11 or 12, I was at my mom's friend's house (We'll call her "Natalie") and I was pretending to be asleep on the couch because my mother was heavily drunk and I knew that it wouldn't be safe to allow her to try to drive home and I knew that if I pretended to be asleep that she'd just stay there for the night. So I'm laying there on the couch and Natalie's son, a few months older than me,(We'll call him "Zach") had just gotten done putting his little sister to bed and he knew that I was only pretending to be asleep, as he was the one who initially suggested it when I voiced my concern about my mother's intoxicated state. We made eye contact for a few seconds before he nodded slightly, signalling that he understood my position. Zach was like an older brother to me, although he was about the same age, and he was reasonably protective over me. He made sure to "trip" while re-entering the livingroom so that the adults knew he was there before kneeling down in front of the couch and pulling a blanket over me. He smiled and announced quietly that I had fallen asleep. The adults mumbled a drunken acknowledgment and Natalie told my mom we could stay the night. I pretend to be asleep for about 20 minutes, half listening to their conversation, before I hear my mom say my name. She began talking about the intensive therapy I went through when I was little, which I remember for the most part. As I continued listening, I hear a news story being mentioned about this guy who had gotten arrested for molesting his daughter. Then I hear the sentence "Yeah, something similar happened to [my deadname]" I was confused because I didn't remember anything like that happening to me. My mom then describes a scenario that I had previously thought was a scene from a movie that I had seen. At that point, I thought "That can't possibly be true! I just heard the name wrong" My mom mentioned that I had blocked out the memory entirely and that I didn't know why I was in therapy. My mother tends to overshare and be overly honest when she drinks but it took me a few minutes to process what happened. I fell asleep horrified and I woke up to someone shaking my arm. It was about 4 am and Zach woke me up and by the look on his face and the way he immediately pulled me into a hug, I knew he had heard it all. We both broke down and he was furious and asked if I remembered the name of the guy, I did not. I spent a lot of time with the family and from then on, he never left my side during outings. He'd even wait for me near the bathrooms to ensure my safety and shoot daggers at anyone who looked at me suspiciously. (all in a very "Over protective brother" fashion.) To this day, Zach treats me like a sister.

I still dont believe it, its like a dizzy fog in my head , i remember before she was diagnosed with cancer i used to play with her cats and birds and she even took me to the zoo once because she loved animals as much as i did and looking back at her dead body i didnt even cry, i feel insane numb pain but i dealt with it. She also used to always make crafts of all kind, soap, bathbombs, jewelry, painting, drawing, design and decoration. I miss her with all my heart but what stung the most is shes a mother, she has 2 twenty year old sons, when i first found out she died i ran out of my house to hers and i saw all my family members crying but what hurts the most is that i saw one of her sons crying silently holding on her bone thin arms, he looked so broken, just imagine watching your mom that has been fighting cancer for 1 year and 3 months take her final breath... I then saw her other son wake up from sleep oblivious to what just happened rubbing his eyes walking across the hallway just to see his mother, he thought she was sleeping until he saw everyone else crying i couldnt handle the pain so i just left the house holding back tears... At the funeral they all looked so brolen, my dad, my other aunts, my grandma, my aunt's husbands, my uncle, my cousins. It was absolute horror. There hasnt been one person to meet her who hasnt loved her, she was always nice to animals and kids, she was the best sister, aunt, daughter and mother one could ask for.

We live in an open and accepting society. But there are forms of depravity I'll never agree with.

[@scottmeager5919]

@@carlasghost656 Working as a therapist for years, I have to disagree with living in an open and accepting society, we pretend to be, behind the masks is immature reactions, judgements, lack of consideration for others, etc. Maybe somewhere between 5% to 2% are being real when they showing care and empathy. It’s not their fault, we’re just not taught how to be decent people.

The worse thing I overheard was when I woke up to the doorbell ringing and saw my mom go answer the door, my door was open and it lead right out to the living room, a family member was at the door and informed my mom that my grandpa had just passed away. I still remember the way she screamed and sobbed...

[@WisenedMan]

One night when I was 10 or 11, I woke up abruptly due to a loud commotion coming from outside our condo door. Apparently, there was a man who was on something, though I'm pretty sure he was mostly intoxicated. He was screaming and loudly banging on our neighbor's door demanding that he be let in. I think he either lived there or knew the occupant. Anyway, the thing that scared me was my mom sitting near my bed calling 911 and speaking to the operator. This had NEVER happened before and the fact my mom was pretty nervous about the whole situation made me scared. My dad I think was out it was just my siblings and my mom. Eventually, the cops arrived and the whole scenario settled. To this day one of my most jarring memories of my childhood.

it's not the arranged marriage that's the problem, many people do have them and are fine, even happy with them. Someone you get to know before marrying can still be an abusive monster. plenty of woman have married a guy who was sweet and loving before marriage but turn into abusive monsters. They just hide it better.

Worst thing I’ve heard when I was pretend sleeping, I woke up at about 2am to the sound of grunting, I slowly looked over and saw my parents doing “it” my eyes widened and I quickly looked away, I tried to go back to sleep but couldn’t cause they were making m0@n!ng noises, my dad threw a pillow at the back of my head so that I wouldn’t see it, I hugged my favorite plush and silently cried myself to sleep, the reason why I cried myself to sleep is because I asked my parents to not go dr!nk!ng again but they just ignored me and left the house anyways, leaving me home alone, they were probably drunk when they started doing “it” but at-least my dad didn’t want me to see them, so thanks dad.

[@AhamkaraMommy]

On arranged marriage; Not an argument for "why it's not bad" but playing the devil's advocate for a minute. In an unstable economic situation or in a country where financial situations are hard on single people, an arranged marriage is often used as a "secure" way of getting a access to amenities like a decent living situation/house, a family to work as a support network, and a more stable financial situation as it relies on two people instead of just one.

[@Lampe2020]

6:57 Even when someone's asleep they may still be processing what happens around them. Quite some years ago (must be almost a decade ago, man I'm getting old) I had my bed and toys on a little platform next to the stair in our rented apartment. Not even a real own room, just a platform that had a metal guardrail towards the stair so you wouldn't fall off. One night my dad asked up the stairs for my mum to come to the living room and my mum told me the next day that I had responded, in sleep, with a slurred "I'm coming". And I've heard of people actually getting PTSD from things they unconciously heard while asleep.

[@Darilyn_Dinostar]

I didn’t hear anything but once during the Christmas season I was awake while my dad was going to bed. I hear him coming down the hall so I close my eyes and pretend to be asleep. I hear a rattling and know he is messing with a sculpture I made in 4th grade. Then he starts to walk away stops, then leaves my room and goes to bed. I then open my eyes and on top of my sculpture was one of our elf on the shelf’s. The other elf was on my actual shelf. I was heart broken keep in mind I was going and still believed in Santa, but this shattered my belief completely, yet to this day I haven’t told anyone. I blame myself for not going to sleep like I should have😢

[@furbeez]

[@ferrety1]

When I was 3-5 years old I lived with my mom but her and my stepdad would always have these fights in the middle of the night. I would always wake up and just hear yelling, screaming, and cussing. But since i grew up with it, I ended up thinking it was normal. Then I was surprised when I went to go live with my dad. Looking back on it, that should’ve been traumatizing for any normal kid yet somehow I was unfazed.

[@wintershock]

So this isn’t much of overhearing but this reminded me of this moment for some reason. I was sleeping on the hearth in my cabin because my other option was to share a couch. We had like 10 people in this cabin so the beds were taken up and I like to sprawl out. The hearth was good enough for me. Anyways, my cabin had a large glass sliding door facing the north. I was looking through it and I swear to god I saw a person just walk across our deck, look inside then leave after he saw two people laying in the main area. I shut the curtains after that.

4:15 - The *only* advantage from arranged marriages is that you have older, more experienced people vetting your partner. That in turn means, that these only ever made sense when people had to get bearing children right out of puberty, cause otherwise they wouldn't have the time to make enough children to have somebody take care of them in their old age. So - arranged marriage makes no sense in modern times with modern medicine. P.S. People tend to misunderstand what an arranged marriage is actually supposed to be like. Everybody imagines that the girl, the boy, or both, would have no choice in the selection of partners. This *wasn't* usually the case. It was more of an ultra-chaperone thing where the prospective partners would meet while being protected by parents and/or older siblings, and then the parents would speak with their child in private where they could be frank in a safe space. That's not to say that hte ugly version didn't exist and didn't happen, or doesn't still happen. Political marriages, arranged marriages of actual minors, arranged marriages in cults or based on pressure for other reasons, etc. Those happen, they happened in the past, too, and they're *utter* evil and deranged parental entitlement. But, and this should be understood, those aren't ever part of a wider culture. Those *aren't* the normal type of arranged marriage.

[@blackgemstone801]

The only reason arranged marriages aren't sensible in modern times per your argument is because MARRIAGE isn't sensible in modern times by the same regard.

[@yourachilles415]

I escaped from a forced marriage when I was 15- it's not even a cultural thing for me, I just happened to be from a wealthy, powerful family, so naturally, they wanted to marry me to a senator's son. The senator's family was all for it. The kid himself wasn't too bad, just very basic and boring, and not the kind of person I could happily spend the rest of my life with, when we could barely hold conversation in a room. Being 'the man' of the match, he had the ability to call it off, while I didn't. So, I did the simplest thing I could: I came out to him as a trans man. Sure enough, marriage cancelled, boy disgusted, and I end up running away a few years later. Now, I'm happily single and free of the family that tried to force me into it.

[@baconshreds1772]

Story 3 really hit close to home for me. My dad isn't suicidal and wouldn't consider something like that, but once when I was 10, I yelled "I'd rather be at school than be around you for a second." What followed was the saddest and most defeated look I've ever seen him in and I immediately felt bad. I didn't apologize until I was 18 when we were on amazing terms. I had forgotten about it for years at that point until I had a nightmare where we were hugging and I was apologizing while sobbing and all he said was " i forgive you." I cried when I apologized to him and he told me that he understood my frustrations and it was in the distant past. I text him every single day and haven't missed a day in 2 years.

I was 8 and my parents were fighting in the next room one night after my dad got home. (This was just about an every night event by then, but what WASNT an every night event was when my mom got the gun and started shooting up the house. My dad got the gun away from her, fired a few shots of his own, threw down the gun on the porch, and left for like a week. That was a solid 32 years ago and I can still hear every sound from that moment in my head. Edit: nobody died or got shot. Just a really gnarly fight from teo crazy people who had no business being parents.
