Hello class.
How's everybody doing?
I just read through some of the post. I see that some are having issues with relationships.
My only advice after 20 years of marriage.
As I get older that whole "in love" thing changes. It's really just an emotion.
More of an immature feeling that everybody craves and then leave somebody when it doesn't "feel" right anymore. It's probably destroyed or been used as an excuse to wreck more marriages than any other reason including financial hardships. Driven people to go searching, infidelity and so on. Only to lose that fleeting feeling of "in love" again.
In the long run realizing that what you had wasn't all that bad to begin with.

So my advice,
Learn to mature with your feelings. Don't look for the fleeting "feeling" of love but, learn to embrace the good that happens. Sure, things get boring and that one time Knight in shinning armor is a bit tarnished now.
But, a bit of a spit shine might just be what's needed.
And for Goodness sake, stay sober.

God bless,stepping off the box.
