Is marriage even worth it ?

Salam , I’m a 26F who’s gone through a really difficult experience when it came to my engagement. Ever since then I’ve become very cautious about marriage as a whole .

I feel like I grew up in a community where marriage was the “end all” goal for women . I grew up centring my life around my hypothetical marriage , and never really put too much thought into what I wanted for myself in the future . I always did what was expected of me as the eldest daughter.

Recently tho , I’ve been feeling like marriage is something I don’t ever want for myself . I feel like most men are difficult to deal with and you really have to compromise core values sometimes just to stay married . My own experience was bad as well so that just adds to it .

That’s why I’m here , I wanted to hear from married people . Ideally women but I’m open to anyone’s perspective. I logically know not all marriages can be bad but I’ve never seen any exemplary marriages around me . I was hoping I could find some here to kind of restore my faith .
