Can we talk about how exhausting it is to continuously have to ask someone that claims to love you to give you basic respect and at the very least do the bare minimum and then seeing everyone around you be loved so effortlessly by their person
your SPOUSE is the one who’ll sit beside you when your PARENTS DIE. who’ll hold your hand through CHILDBIRTH. who might have to BATHE YOU if you’re ever too sick to stand. this isn’t just about BUTTERFLIES or DATE NIGHTS. it’s about choosing someone who SHOWS UP... in GRIEF, in MESS, in UNCERTAINTY. so no, LOVE ALONE isn’t enough. COMMITMENT, MATURITY, and the ability to ENDURE life’s ugly parts... that’s what sustains a MARRIAGE. because when life gets PAINFULLY REAL, ROMANCE won’t carry you... CHARACTER will. and the truth is, FOREVER is only possible with someone who knows how to STAY when it’s HARD TO LOVE
If your partner is an overthinker, then you have to be an over explainer. Have no issues putting their mind at ease. The goal is to build trust, not destroy it.
