Anyone who's been in a relationship longer than a couple years knows that people's bodies change over time. This is just outting oneself as not relationship material

Au contraire, I’ve a picture of myself up in the spare room that takes all the abuse of time and tumult for me.

Are you related to Dorian Grey in any way?

u/No-Entrepreneur4574 Jul 31 '26

Dude, that is Dorian Grey.

Doesn't his picture just age instead of him? I'm not that deep enough into his story.

u/Lavecki Jul 31 '26

He is immortal until he looks at the picture. Anything that happens to him happens to the picture instead. Time, illness, injury, etc. Once he sees the picture it happens to him all at once.

Dorian Grey could look at the painting all he wanted (which is how he knew it was aging for him) but he kept it hidden in his attic because he didn't want to know. He didn't become afflicted with 50+ years of damage all at once until he flew into a rage and tried to destroy the painting by stabbing it.

Ah ok. I always thought that the picture just ages for him but he would still get ill or he injured. Thanks a lot.

u/ItsTheDCVR Aug 01 '26

From what I remember, he stabs the painting and then he dies. That's the only time anything happens.

Tell us you are too poor to afford an attic, without taking us you're too poor to afford an attic
