The False, Overrated Merit In Committing To Someone For Eternity
“Don’t stop loving yourself for the sake of loving someone else.”
Years ago I came across a Facebook post from a gorgeous married woman who admitted that she sees no issue in divorcing her husband and marrying someone else. She even jokingly asked her audience what race her next husband should be, as she’s been married to a black man in her first marriage and an Asian man in her current one.
When I read her words I couldn’t help but think about how intelligent and open-minded she was, because ever since I was a child I was wondering why anyone grew old with the same person. I always asked myself what any couple got out of staying with each other for decades out of obligation as opposed to being together for that long because the relationship has been mutually beneficial for that long! We all know that the majority of partnerships grow sour after a while.
I see absolutely nothing wrong with a woman or man who wants to marry and divorce every few years, and of course I have no issue in anyone choosing to never marry at all. Out of the billions of people on this planet why stay with one for the remainder of your days, especially when that one is getting on your everlasting nerves and robbing you of peace?
