Just shows that marriage and kids don’t make women happy

Titanic ends with Rose dying and reuniting in the afterlife with the poor bad boy she cheated on her millionaire fiancé with at 18, rather than with her lifelong husband and the father of her children.

This meme consists of two parts: a block of text at the top, followed by a screenshot from the ending of the 1997 film Titanic. The top text points out that in the film's ending, the character Rose reunites in the afterlife with Jack, the poor young 'bad boy' she had a brief passionate affair with at age 18 (cheating on her wealthy fiancé with him), instead of with the husband she spent most of her life with and who fathered her children. The image below shows the iconic afterlife reunion scene, where Jack and Rose stand face to face looking at each other affectionately, with other passengers who died on the Titanic watching them from the surrounding balconies. The meme uses this detail from the film to argue the point stated in its title, that conventional lifelong marriage and having children do not necessarily bring women the most happiness, compared to the intense romantic connection of young love.
