actually no, it can be worse....... But to be honest: the number 1 thing that any person should learn first off is to be 100% content or happy in their own skin and by themselves. THEN you can be happy with someone else. If you rely on anyone else to be happy, or "not lonely" you're doomed.

I couldn't talk to girls for ages. I forced myself to while I was at uni because I realised if it would only become harder to learn later. I probably came off a bit strange for the first 100 times. Probably still do to be honest lol, but if I want a girlfriend, I can get one. Try tinder too. You get a lot of practice seeing what conversations are interesting, what where is the line between coming off too weak/strong. Find something rare you're passionate about so you can carry a conversation if the girl is shy / doesn't talk much. For me it's philosophy, economics, and stand-up comedy. Then there's basic stuff you like that can help start a conversation: movies, TV shows, games, animals. You've got to try talking to girls and be willing to embarrass yourself for 100 conversations before you have a good one. If you can't even talk to other guys, learn to talk to guys first.

This was my parents before they divorced. They had nothing in common. My mother met someone else and left my father, and he was mainly aggrieved that the man she left him for was a van driver. He found it outrageous that she’d rather be with a van driver than him, an accountant. She married him and they were together for 24 years before she died. I don’t know if she was truly happy even with her new husband, but at least they talked to each other. I’ve been married to my husband for 33 years, and 3 kids and many ups and downs later, we are closer than ever. Our kids say we still act like teenagers when we start riffing off one another. The thing is, it takes effort to nurture a relationship, and I think some people just can’t be bothered. If I thought we were going to end up like that, I’d leave him tomorrow. We only get one life and we shouldn’t waste it being miserable with someone we despise.

This happens to couples that married purely out of the "necessity" to marry and out of pressure from their parents and society. This type of emotionless relationship is more common amongst eldery couples because back in the day marriage wasn't an option, but an absolute must. If someone failed to get married before they turn 20, people started to think that something is wrong with this person and if someone failed to get married before they turn 25, they became an outcast of society and it was almost impossible to get someone to marry you at this age because you were labelled as being to old to get children. At least that's what my grandparents and other eldery people told me. So many couples didn't had much time to get to know each other before they decided to mary. They were in a hurry. The real sad part is that they probably realised early on that they married the wrong person, but divorce was also not an option back than if you didn't wanted to end up as an outcast.

There's a video on YT titled: Why You Will Almost Certainly Marry The Wrong Person. It's well worth a look. It's a bit deflating, but makes some salient observations. Tbh, it makes you wonder why anyone would ever bother getting married, especially these days when there are so many other things you could be doing.

Happens today a lot. Most blokes get marriage because someone allowed them entry to the furry cup. Men are so desperate to have their twig and berries touched they’ll end up with anyone then regret it later.

this is so good in such a horrible way. One of the saddest things is seeing a couple who've clearly been together for a long time just sitting in complete silence eating a meal at a restaurant. I guess maybe they're just super comfortable with each other being totally silent but frankly it just looks like they're totally bored with each other and have nothing left to say. I'd rather be by myself than in such a relationship.

They made me remember a couple I knew in a hospital, the man had been operated on, his wife was coming to visit him every day. They didn't talk. She sat next to the bed, took a magazine out of her bag and read, he filled out crossword puzzles during the time she was there. Thus they remained during the two hours of the visit. Not a single word except good evening and goodbye.

This is my husband and I. He spent the first 20 years talking. We are at 33 years now.He only stopped talking when he was sleeping. He talked in the shower, in church, mowing the lawn, while chewing hunks of food. I'd talk to him but he never heard me. He carried on with 2 phones, 5 friends, all in the same room everyday as we are self employed small business owners. There are thousands of times I can recount how he spent 20-30 minutes on the shitter talking to himself. After awhile you just stop listening, you just stop answering. It's not worth the waste of breath. Show this couple 30 years younger.

The sad thing is that couples similar to this exist. People are so stuck on the idea that they should not divorce, no matter what, that they actually stay in that one bad relationship. Some people stay together for the rest of their lives and can be quite happy. I don't think this is very common. It's not as common as people would like to think, that's for sure. Most of us will fall in and out of love many times during our lives, and there's nothing bad in that nor should it be fought against. People should neither be stuck with the idea that monogamy is the only way to go. But when you find a person you really want to be with (and you shouldn't stay with someone you don't) you need to work to make that relationship work. After all it would be nice to have a person beside you that knows you though and through, that takes care of you and you care for them. If a relationship is not like this or heading this way, then something should be done about it.
