I'm not totally sure, because my parents are both inveterate liars (or were, for all that I know or care anymore), but I think my mother and father married because of romantic love. Relatives do say that my parents knew each other for all of a few weeks before tying the knot.
Yes. Well.
Sometimes I wonder if my father realized that the romantic love trip was over, and that was why he started doing terrible things. I do know that my mother was ever searching for romantic love elsewhere after a certain particularly bad incident.
Anyways, I really don't suggest marrying out of romantic love. If only for the sake of not raising kids who'll believe that every relationship is a lie.
Makes it hard to get along in the world.
Although I think I now understand better the relationships that last. Thank you.
