It would be nice if it worked out for everybody....but, you know, decisions made today might not seem so compelling in 20 years. The wife and I celebrated our 10th in february. My grandparents have been together for 60, her mother and father for 40.
-I'd lay the failure of culturally normative monogamy squarely at the feet of those same cultural norms, btw.
Alot of people seem to get into it thinking that it will or has to conform to them...I know I did, the first time. Not really surprising that it failed, since relationships, ultimately, don;t give a fuck about our norms. They operate on an entirely deeper format and lash out against those norms and those expectations.
