Giving it up because its easy and accepted.
26 years here. Not all of them pretty. But you make a commitment with someone you love and you make it work. Only two things are deal breakers: Physical abuse and drug addiction. Everything else can be worked through.
This entire family is a mess.
Brave man!
Now I know why I’ve seen you torn to tatters on a few previous threads.
lol
Agree. 38 years for my wife and I ... some of them stress full, you try to work thru turbulent seas.
Also, I get a break, my wife had a short term tune up marriage before we met ... she's more tolerant as a result.
Lucky me ... ;o)
I’d make one more exception: infidelity. A one-time mistake may be pardonable, but full-on affair / serial cheating is a NO-NO.
