Women marrying themselves as symbolic expression of self-love

Women Marrying Themselves as ‘Symbolic Expression of Self-Love’

This is the predictable culmination of our society's pathological narcissism that began in the 60's under the guise of supposed enlightenments, freedoms and self-expressions. Most people have yet to even ponder their existence, much less, realize they are more a collection of disconnected "selves" than a self-aware, integrated single self. When two marry, it's really more like two dozen, often unknown and conflicting aspects of those two are marrying. At least if that becomes too daunting, couples can divorce--an option that won't be available to these self-loving, self-marrying ladies.

CNN: Women Marrying Themselves as ‘Symbolic Expression of Self-Love’

The news outlet painted "sologamy" as pertaining more to mental health and "self-love." rather than an extension of living an "auto-sexual" lifestyle.

I am not against it.
I believe it is better if narcissistic people announce that they are self-loving rather instead of marrying someone they won't be able to love.
Less destroyed lives is a good thing.

The TV told me women were smart, tough, responsible, caring, resourceful, bad-ass, and beautiful among other admirable traits. With all that smoke, who can blame them for wanting to marry themselves?

The article cited a woman who has had a lot of battles for herself and someone who married herself after her husband's death. Maybe it can just mean that they really just want to practice self-love? Whatever their motives, we will not know if we will not ask personally.

From the above article

Jones said her marriage to herself “symbolizes [her] love for [herself] for the rest of [her] life.”

Do one needs to publicize their self love with ceremony? Otherwise self love doesn't exist or last? Hopefully they are not bankrupt with the ceremony.

CNN noted that critics say self-marriage, which is not recognized by law in the United States, is narcissistic. In response, the outlet quoted a therapist who believes sologamy could be the manifestation of a “healthy form of narcissism.”

“It is actually a lack of self-love that leads to unhealthy narcissism,” therapist John Amodeo claimed. “We are then constantly needing validation from other to fill our inner emptiness.”

Well, it is "healthy form of narcissism". Probably it is sort of valentine day gift. What ever, God knows. If we say too much they will call us self hating self lovers?

This reminds me of a story a few years back about a woman who married her cat. At first, I thought, "what a lonely, pitiful soul". But once I read further to discover her cat was a Maine Coon--I completely understood her choice (having been happily "married" to one of these affectionate, communicative fur balls for 13 years)

Yeah. If it was a Maine Coon, it was the right choice!

But really, the madness only intensifies!
