Yesterday I had some semi-disappointing news.
I learned one of my favorite married couples isn't doing too well.
And the sad part is, they may not try to make things work.
They may just give up.
A couple who has been together for many years may end their covenanent to each other because they are finding out their differences.
I always thought when you were truly comfortable with someone you begin to let your true side show. Sure, we all grow and develop additions to our personalities as the years go on (slowly but surely I'm turning into my father), but when you feel at ease with the other person in the relationship, shouldn't you try to accept their new quirks as they accept yours?
I'm not married and never been married so I can only pose those questions into the vast void where all hypothetical questions land.
But if there is someone out there listening to those questions, can you please answer just a few of the questions I dispense in this blog?
Thanks!

Well, sometimes it's not so much about new quirks your partner has - sometimes it's the things you discover about yourself. Your aspirations may change, or maybe you realize that your partner's never did (i.e. they're 40 and still want to be a rock star like they did when they were 8). Sure you could work through it but you have to ask yourself, is this really something I want to deal with "till death do us part"? That could be ... whenever. So maybe it's something you can ignore but maybe it's a catalyst to finding true happiness. I think everyone's situation is different.
