i tell my unmarried friends all the time, don't be in such a fucking rush to get married. sure, there are some great perks to being married, but sometimes being married really sucks, and it's like having a whole-other job. it's not easy, it's not always fun and it's certainly not always the best time of your life. of course the same can hold true for being single, i suppose.
another friend and i often talk about how our married friends told us these tremendous lies when we were getting married years ago. we refer to them as the "rainbow and unicorn" lies. sure, my wedding was great, and fun, but the first 2 years of my marriage was really, really rough. some of my dearest friends might say that i had an abnormally rough 2 years, but nevertheless, i didn't help in making it better, and neither did some other people by feeling bad for me. all i'm saying is that being married isn't "rainbows and unicorns". don't rush something that isn't real, isn't there and/or isn't going to work out because you think it should. luckily enough, after 3+ years, RB and I figured our shit out, and this just might work... gotta tell you, in my heart of hearts, i always knew it would. he is my best friend after all and i always had faith.

The grass is always greener on the other side, right? I keep thinking that SOMEONE'S grass HAS to ACTUALLY be greener. I think they are keeping quiet so they don't have to share though. ;-) Glad you and RB figured your shit out. :-)
ReplyDeleteGrass is legitimately not greener for anyone. Everyone's green is different, my green might be brighter and a different shade than yours my dear friend, and things you may hold dear to you I may not hold quite as near and dear to me. But, yes, i'm glad we figured out shit out, before it got crazy, and too late or before I was moving my ass into your place way out in MI! xo
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing wrong with (temporarily) residing in this great state. ;-)
ReplyDeleteAs long as I'd be with you!
