Your Relationship and/or Marriage Probably Sucks and You Know It
It looks excruciatingly painful from over here, just sayin’. Even the better ones, have cons that eventually outweigh the pros you were promised.
Fuck it, I’ll be the one to say it. I watch your relationships and their inner workings out of my prereferral, by accident almost.
