Marriage is a Deep, Deep Subject
This is my first entry into the Vocal "Marriage" community. I've been avoiding it. I didn't want to write my thoughts or opinions about it because they are often deep and abstract. I've been single, married, and divorced. I know what all three "titles" feel like. I was single for 40 years, married for 12 years, and now I've been divorced since November 2023. Do I have anything to say here in this community that won't come across as jaded, bitter, or cynical? Yes. Do I have anything to say here in this community that is thoughtful, honest, important, necessary, or kind? Yes. So here I am after waiting out the entire year of 2024 as the "divorcee" ready to speak about marriage again to those who still enjoy the conversation or institution of marriage.
