And I still stand by the message.
Why are we so hung up on forever?
And, more importantly:
Is our preoccupation with forever ever REALLY anything other than fear?
Were afraid to die alone.
Were afraid of missing out.
Were afraid of losing social status.
But its not just marriage its a will for forever overall.
And I group myself in here.
And I thought this was real swell a real testament to how Good we were!
And now, equally, I feel compelled to clarify: we havent broken up.
(And I dont want to.)
Im not saying this because things fell apart.
I guess this thought process started because…
I hate all of the I hate my spouse jokes (or rather, jokes).
Because bad-mouthing a spouse means saying: I value something else here more than my own happiness.
And it makes me sad.
And if they were happy, I wouldnt question it.
And it makes me wonder: why are all so hellbent on forever?
I understand that this is a values thing.
And I get thatthe point of marriage isnt actually happiness.
(Its a ton of other things, and sometimes itisnthappy.)
But then why do we all make such a point of complaining that it sucks?
