Fwiw, I was in a 20 year relationship with a woman and shit is overrated. At the end of the day, nobody is as who they make themselves out to be... even someone who claims to love you, someone you think you "know," who you've spent over 7,000 days with consecutively living in the same space, fucking, talking daily, splitting bills and household tasks with, loving, etc. Traveled to over 50 countries with said ex-wife, had a house, pets, financial stability... and honestly, I think most people are just putting on a show. Even if someone seems authentic, you're only seeing the part of them they want you to see, people put on fronts. Nothing is ever as it seems.
