Yender Years Ago:-
Marriage: - The state of being united to a person of the opposite sex as husband or wife in a consensual and contractual relationship recognized by law.
“When you get married, you find out things about your other half and you must learn to live with.”
“So I hated the way he left the toothpaste cap unclosed, every bloody morning. He hated the way I left my study books all over the table - we evened things out”
“By that time, we already had the children…so why give it all up now…he gave me my reason to live, my children”
“You lose the lovely feelings after a while, its not gone with the wind. It’s somewhere around, I just forget to find it. She reminds me where I put them.”
“It’s not easy. Sometimes you want to run out of the door and be single and free. But you make a promise. So you stick to that promise.”
“He cheated. He made a mistake. Just like how I made a mistake in having an abortion when I realised I couldn’t handle another one. I didn’t tell him at first. But he forgave me. Forgiveness. Marriage is all about forgiving and letting it go. Sometimes both get in the way of each other.”
“I don’t think any other person could have tolerated me for the past thirty years. But he did. If that isn’t love, I don’t know what is”
Now
Marriage - A union or cooperation formed solely for pragmatic reasons.
“I made a mistake. I thought he would change.”
“She’s not the person I fell in love with.”
“I thought that was what I wanted. But not anymore. Its my happiness that needs looking after.”
“Yeah, people make mistakes. Its ok. Better now than later right. Might as well do something about it now.”
“I’m done with it. It’s just too difficult.”
“I thought it was easier that way. You know, marriage can change the ways we behave. But it hasn’t, so no point. Was worth a try though”
“We’re getting a divorce so we can remain best friends like we used to be.”
“I thought he was the one. He wasn’t. I met someone else, maybe he isn’t the one. But I think I need sometime for myself.”
What happened to this definition of marriage?
-Beverly Clark, Shall We Dance-
What happens if you’re not in some sort of marriage or relationship and yet, you treasure everything just being a witness in someone else’s life? Because that is the only way you can? Because that is the only way you are allowed to? What happens then?
