I’ve come to the conclusion that NO!!!..
We get married, we start a family, we’re happy for a few years, but people change, and not always in the same direction. That’s when love often ends. People say, “He/she failed in their marriage,” but in reality, it’s often about accepting to close a beautiful chapter of life to make space for freedom and not live in deception.
Failure is pretending to be a “happy family.”
Failure is deceiving your partner, your children, and most seriously… yourself!!!
Failure is staying out of convenience.
Failure is manipulating your partner with the children.
Failure is living a gray life.
Failure is not being happy to come home every night.
Failure is begging for the love of someone who no longer loves you.
Failure is pretending to love.
Failure is staying out of fear of loneliness.
Failure is living by absurd social or religious rules out of fear of “what people will say.”
Failure is NOT HAVING THE COURAGE TO FIGHT FOR YOUR HAPPINESS!!!
Failure is believing that LOVE DOESN’T EXIST…
A mature divorce is respecting the father or mother of your children for life!!!
It’s knowing how to coexist as a family as often as possible without attachments or commitments, just for pleasure!!!
Applause to all those who have had the courage not to live in failure.
And a standing ovation to those who remain happy and in love after so many years!!!
Fight for your marriage, but when there’s no more to fight for,
FIGHT…
