(1,250 posts)Don't make your whole life dependent on one human being.
No matter if you're male or female. Straight or gay.
All relationships are temporary even the lifetime ones.
Everybody eventually dies, right? So there's a time limit there too.
End the fairytales & don't make your life dependent on relationships.
People are fickle & no matter how good you try to be to them, they have no obligation to return the favor.
Just look at relationships as roller coaster rides.
You're on them for a little while, you had fun, & now the ride's over so return to your car.
The only one you can count on the most is YOURSELF (and even THAT person can throw you for a loop sometimes!).
You'll have more success counting on a dog than a human being overall.
That's why I believe marriage should be legally changed to the renewal cycle of every year, every 3 years, every 5 years.
It was ALWAYS illogical with this supposed "Lifetime For Better Or Worse" nonsense.
People change & will often find themselves not on the same page over time so have mutual renewal periods for marriage if you're gonna have marriage.
I have heard the notion that society was built upon the marriage of man & woman.
To that I say "NO WONDER the world's so dysfucntional!"
Building society on such a shaky foundation.
Have fun in a relationship whether marriage or not but don't count on it.
Just look at it as a fun ride & you'll keep things in perspective.
