My parents were in an arranged marriage in China, they argue like every week. They are toxic af.
I wonder if people who freely choose their partners have less toxic families… 🤔

People actually do arranged marriages. Wow.
They chose each other all right, an undiagnosed autist in denial raised with backwards Ukrainian village values (dad) and a narcissist (I suspect slightly retarded, in a medical sense, too) raised by pretty irresponsible parents who’d tell her how smart she is instead of teaching her something (mom).
And they wouldn’t be such a bad combination, if my dad hadn’t moved from a technical to a management position at some point, which affected his mental state negatively, and if my mom weren’t anywhere near opportunities to worsen her narcissism (stupid conspirologic books helping her feel herself very smart, books on psychology, such stuff).
They were born around 1960 to 1980. This is in some village in Guangdong Province, PRC.
People back in the days do arranged marriage, that’s just how the world was, societu has been like that for centuries 🤷♂️ “free love” is only a recent thing (as far as I know)
That’s not “back in the day”. My parents are older than that and they didn’t have an arranged marriage. They are good people. My grandparents did have an arranged marriage and they were good people too.
