You've obviously never been married

I tell my husband I love him 18000 times a day, and incessantly compliment him. Been there for thick and thin. I definately compliment him wayyy more than he compliments me.

"if they didnt want to be there they wouldnt be"

how the hell do you stay in a realtionship, married for that matter, if you dont know your partner likes you?

Anxiety and mixed signals?

"If they loved me, they wouldn't have done xyz. Right?"

"if they had done xyz when we were dating we would have broken up on the spot" is also a fun thought to have, especially when it is true. relationships can be hard work.

It's called codependency, and it's running rampant amongst my peers.

My highschool buddy has been "dating" (they're basically married at this point) his girl for over 15 years, and they can't stand each other. No kids, not married, no real obligations. Hate each other most days, and terrified of the idea of breaking up. It's fucking surreal at a bbq.
