Friends. Lovers. Marriage. Family and lovers. Partners, sometimes lovers. Roommates. Vacations together as lovers. Partners or just each other’s plus one. Permanent roommates and sometimes friends.

This seems like the timeline of a marriage. How delusional we beings are to think that living in bliss with each other lasts.

Honestly it can work if both are willing to grow with each other because the end game is staying together. But the magic word here is WORK.

Both, not only one must work. Marriage is a partnership, this is what I thought, not a singleship, it takes two.

Because the end result will be the one working on their own, will outgrow the other, then be gone.

Thought: Maybe the word should not be Marriage but

Mirage.
