An important message to heterosexuals, listen carefully: you do not, and I repeat do NOT, have to marry someone you actively dislike, don’t enjoy spending time with and/or whose hobbies you despise. You do not have to do that!! stop doing that!!!
“hahaha I hate my wife and made an entire room of the house dedicated to evading her company”
“hahaha I hate my husband and I drink industrial quantities of wine to cope with having had kids with him”
MAYBE STOP?
Hi. I’m sorry. But literally as I was reblogging this the lady being interviewed in the doc I’m watching said something like “oh ya know, it was normal girl talk stuff like all about how terrible husbands are.” And I. Yup.
When I casually mentioned watching something with my spouse to my massage therapist he was absolutely flabbergasted we do that together. Even more so when we would still hang out and watch even if we didn’t care for the show the other liked just so we could be together after a day apart.
Or how we’d play games together. Or how we shared a large portion of our friend group.
And I just…. how… how else do you live with the person you decided to build your life with?
I have seen a distressing amount of married folks who legitimately just…. don’t care for their spouses at all. Like, they tolerate them, at best.
It’s not even like these are old married couples, where things changed or the magic faded or they grew apart, but relatively young folks in their 20s and 30s and their relationships were like this before they even got married.
I just don’t see the point if you don’t even enjoy one another’s company.
