transcription: just saw a straight woman CONFIDENTLY say lesbian marriage isnt a real marriage its just “two best friends who get each other off” and like bestie, idk what has gone wrong in your life but thats exactly what marriage is supposed to be, regardless of the genders involved. as opposed to real marriage, where you have two people who dislike each other and dont get each other off.

    It’s easy and common for the sparks to die down after 15, 20 years and you’re left basically living with someone who feels like an acquaintance. It’s a trope for a reason.

    BTW there’s nothing wrong with that. Most people are mature enough by then to make it work.

      Shit, I’ve been with my wife for 16 years (married for 1), sparks are still strong AF. Does the timer start when you get together or when you get married?

      Tell that to every person who has been married for 40+ years and is still madly in love with their spouse. It’s very common.
