so, i think that marriage or partnership with legal ramifications is a marathon, i think you gotta be ready for bad times that last longer than a week or so, same for good times. i think people get in trouble when they forget that. i am divoced, don't get me wrong. if you are miserable, get it fucking over with. it just helps me to remember that i said till death. that is a long time, and i try not to lose my perspective.
i think that people have very unrealistic expectations of marriage, and i think the main one is unconditional love or regard. of course there are conditions. if there are no conditions, you are either a saint or a doormat. i think the only healthy repository for unconditional love is our children.
what do you mamas think about that? when i throw my theory out there at parties, it usually causes a lively discussion. any thoughts???
i will look forward to reading when i get back from our annual sushi feast.
