The "ONE" for You

FrontFaceLock: You said "Thats why young marriages and high school sweetheart marriages usually fail.
We’re drastically different at 65 than we were at 18. "
I disagree, I think that marriages fall apart, not because we change, but because we DON’T change, from what I have seen, most people in failing marriages are the same people they were when they were dating but the mystique is gone. They are still only thinking about themselves but they have already gotten action from the other person and there is no need to put on the act of perfection.
So they slip back to the way they were, not willing to change, not willing to meet half way, and trying to force the other person to be what they want them to be.
I could be wrong, but thats what I think anyways.

And on to the topic, I don’t believe there is a ‘ONE’ but I believe that somebody can become close enough to the ‘ONE’ that it seems that way.

Well, hell. While I’m signed in I might as well comment here too.

The concept of “the one” is something sold to us as children to control our natural sexual impulses. Girls are usually sold the Prince Charming version and boys are usually sold the religion-backed-by-guilt version.

There are a ton of people we’re all compatible with, it’s just a matter of degrees. And the degree to which you settle varies from person to person - and we all settle as there is no such thing as a perfect person.

I’m sorry to hear of your marital situation but buck up, young camper, there’s better times to be had.
