During a difficult time for me personally,
I went to sleep in the guest bedroom angry. I wasn’t necessarily at my husband. I was angry about many things. I woke up in the middle of the night. My husband was asleep on the floor beside me. That’s not advice. Husbands, that’s love.— Megan Lively (@megannlively) August 1, 2020

Several years ago, a woman told me to let our home be foreclosed as a way to teach my husband that he had to lead. Thankfully I realized that’s idiotic and that it was okay for me to lead w/ my strengths, which include making hard phone calls and working out arrangements.

This has resulted in me not dressing up/putting on makeup out of fear of setting standards with my husband to the point where he feels like his thoughts/feelings don’t matter to me.
Even when it’s benign things like, “I like it when you have eyeliner”— Angie Ag. (@abbydream13) August 2, 2020

The idea that conflict means disaster. Before I got married my mom asked me to tell her something I dislike abt my husband. When I couldn’t, she said I wasn’t ready for marriage. She was right. Rose colored glasses are sometimes worse than disagreement. (Been married 12 yrs now)

“Marriage is forever”
Nope.
Watching my parents go through a nasty, abusive, manipulative marriage & even worse divorce made me realize marriage isn’t forever.
It’s a choice you make everyday.
Knowing there is an exit means everyday you wake up with a choice.

“Staying married is just a matter of deciding that divorce isn’t an option.”
Sure, you can stay married that way. You can also stay super miserable for nigh on twenty years.

i’d sincerely hope “marriage is the hardest work you’ll ever do” is the load of crap it sounds like. i’d think the point should be that it makes you happier, not miserable

My husband and I got married in Las Vegas. The 18 year old couple that were high and fresh from EDC at the courthouse told us to always hold hands while we fight. They were both wearing galaxy cat shirts and glow sticks.

In our first year of marriage, an old man said to my husband: “Do whatever your wife asks you to do around the house, but do it horribly. She will never ask you again.” 🤯
This clearly violates the 10 commandments. And marital vows. And also, yah know, basic human decency. 😑

My mom and sister laughed when I said we’d make decisions equally. “Eventually, one of you will be the head, and it should be him.”
16 years later and we have yet to encounter a situation where we couldn’t make a decision mutually.
