Married Men Are Revealing The “Hardest Parts” Of Marriage That Surprised Them The Most


1.

“Love is amazing. Kids are amazing. Things change, and you become different people at different times, creating tension. Maybe one of you can’t accept who the other is at a given time. That’s hard. It can be easy to lose sight of all the good when you are not in a good place. I’ve been with my partner for about 25 years now, married for 14 of them.”

“I really want to believe that forever love is real. Some part of me, coming from broken homes, just really needs to believe it can work. And that’s hard too. Because when it’s good, it’s good, and when it’s bad, I just… don’t know why we keep doing this to ourselves. Then I wonder, did this ever work? Was it always a fairytale we just told ourselves? Or are we just so warped and broken now by this world we’ve allowed to be built in our name that there is nothing we can do other than just spiral off into our own individually customized algorithms of madness? I’m scared for my kids.”
