21 Disturbing Truths About Marriage

9.

The feeling of “being in love” is basically infatuation and typically dies by two years into a relationship. It’s perfectly normal to not have that feeling anymore – you don’t need it for the relationship to work.

10.

Both parties can be unfaithful.

11.

Some people ultimately don’t partner well because of problems with one or both partners. That said, I’ve known some people who are pretty toxic end up with other people who are equally toxic and work well together.

12.

Almost all marriages end up with (minimum) one partner being hurt and alone. Either through divorce, or just naturally through the death of one partner. And the latter will probably hurt you even more than the former: Imagine your partner of 50+ years having to go, but you still have to live for 10-15 years missing him every day.
