I get the sentiment but... this is not correct. I looked it up and this is what I found "The 'ring finger' got its name from the ancient belief that a vein directly connected it to the human heart, and that wearing a ring on that finger might alleviate ailments. It was called the 'leech finger' for similar reasons." - it has nothing to do with marriage. That guy who told you that there's something wrong with you, I mean... can we please stop assuming a statement from an emotionally and culturally stunted man to be a universal statement (and just simply tell him to stfu and block)?? And seeking love externally is a concept that isn't necessarily the same as marriage. I feel like there are so many things that are thrown into the mix here and the argument isn't very well constructed.
