I don't miss these days:
Yeah, deal me out on that. But truthfully, you couldn’t convince me that some of those signs weren’t surfacing in the lead up to “I do”. An old friend that became sort of a mentor to me used to say, “marriages often don’t work because the woman expects the man to change but he doesn’t and/or the man expects the woman not to change but she does.”
I dated my wife for less than three months, but truthfully knew I might marry her the moment she showed up for our first date. Men especially seem to trick themselves into thinking there aren’t massive red flags everywhere.
My wife and I have fought plenty of times but at least over legit issues. The idea of constantly walking around on egg shells and constantly fighting over nothing is exhausting. And it seems like so much of it is self inflicted.
