Re: married for 80 years
What’s so strange or unbelievable about it? We find it unusual because many people these days don’t love the person they’re in relationship with or married to. They love the adventure, the novelty of discovering a new person or exploring a new relationship. That’s why we think it’s unusual for a person to enjoy being with someone ‘after all these years’. I know there can be other reasons for someone to end a marriage, but in most cases the next person they fall for is no better than their ex. It usually takes more than a fluttery heartbeat to sustain a long-term relationship.
I wonder if they were not too busy to fight, would they be still together?
