32. 55yr marriage

Wed Mar 8, 2017, 05:04 PM

Mar 2017

That guy sees his 55-year marriage as an accomplishment, something he's proud of. At the same time, he's actively working to prevent other people from "achieving" the same thing.

I've met my boyfriend for the first time more than 10 years ago. We still can't marry today because Merkel has a feeling it's not right.

We still have a chance to "achieve" the same 55-year marriage thing if Merkel somehow changed her mind today, but it's getting more and more unlikely every day. Of course, it could be more like 65 years if it wasn't for ignorant people like Merkel or that f---ing "55 years married and never smoked weed!" republican.
