I never wanted to marry, but here I am. It takes work, but you don’t have to see them everyday! If I didn’t get breaks I’d go mad.

Actually, during the quarantine I kept complaining about being stuck at home; terribly bored. I know, selfish thoughts considering what was/is happening around the world. After day 30 or so, my husband said he was enjoying the time together, but he didn’t know I would hate it so much being with him everyday.........all day, day in and day out to an unforeseeable end. Some people need space, and others don’t so much.

Anyway, it’s been long and difficult over many years so you do have to work to keep it well. And any anger or troubles get lost with time, and you forget and love them again, or bury things so you can still be together because you love them and they love you.

Some days I don’t like him and don’t even want to hear his voice; other days I love him and can’t get enough. That’s any relationship, married or not. It has its rewards and benefits though.
