Same Sex Marriage and Divorce

MsTinkerbelly · 03-29-2016, 08:53 AM

For *me*, marriage was a way for my relationship to be protected legally...but for *me*, marriage, the piece of paper and the commitment in front of my friends/family/higher power, changed EVERYTHING.

I felt different about my relationship, I feel different about the amount of myself I will give to make it all work. There is no longer the ability to just walk away without repercussions, there is a vow to stick it out and give it your all, even when you don't want to anymore.

Everything changes...things get more real...things get uglier...things improve...things evolve. If you're really lucky, your relationship becomes a living and breathing thing that brings you comfort and great joy.
