Omg my parents and my maternal grandma was like: (about my older brother’s marriage thing) “You have to see out more options (in the same timeframe) in case your first match fails” or something…
Marriage is like College to them, and their “searching for ‘candidates for marriage’” is like looking at colleges (or perhaps a college processing applications), looking at the person’s profiles, education level, wealth, looks, intelligence, occupation, etc…
So weird to be in the sphere of all this lol…
They be so busy mom doesn’t even really wanna talk to me…
(What the hell is life? Is this what being a human is? Be born, cant do anything for 6 years, then go through 8 hours of school every day till 18, then college, then work, marriage, taxes, children, then onto the graveyard. Yayyy.
Pls get me out of this simulation, I’m so bored and tired… 😩
Sorry I got another existential crisis…)
I’m German. My grandparents were married for 75 years (from their early 20’s until my grandfather died aged 97)!
I once asked my grandma what their secret was, how they stayed in love for their entire lives. She hesitated a bit, as if thinking about whether she should tell me…
And then she said: If it had been as easy to get divorced back then as it is now, I wouldn’t have stayed 5 years.
