Never been married?π
Discussion
25 years and 3 months.
That's beautiful.π No fantasies about strangling your partner along the way? Our started after about five years and second kid being born. Everything got more tense with two toddlers for some reason π
For us, the kids and everyday life tended to lead to boredom. Everyone did their own thing.
When does the boredom come?π©π
I was still very young at the beginning. I had just graduated from high school and started university. Then we got married and had three children. There was so much stress that we didn't even think about our marriage. Studying, working, three little kids... As the kids got older and things got a bit easier, we realized that we couldn't really do anything with each other anymore. Then we both did our own thing for a while, and we stayed together because of the children. We worked well as parents, but not as a couple. We had nothing more to say to each other, I was bored of him and he was bored of me too. I realized that when our youngest was about 6 years old.
I think that is pretty common. Especially when you get married young. We were almost 30. Had established careers. Both ready to build a family. The decisions were easier to make since our goals were pretty closely aligned. Maybe Iβm lucky. Or blessed.
True. I'm fine with that. We have three great children. No resentment. Maybe we should have drawn a line a little earlier. But being angry about it doesn't help either. I like my life. I enjoy it.
Kids are hard. Very, very hard. Strangling, no. But sometimes thought about just driving away. Sure that will happen again. I think itβs being human. And relationships are hard too.
