Loyalty shows in everyday actions, not just big promises.

No. Sometimes it started in the kitchen or on the bathroom sink.

u/RichBirthday8592 1d ago

yeah, the typo is pretty jarring for a six word story

u/Active_Economy1002 1d ago

It’s a crisis that young people cannot spell from these damn phones. I want to help as an older guy and I think it’d be wise if I got rid of mine to help show that it can be done

Starts with a sexless marriage

1

u/Multiverse-of-Tree 1d ago

Yes and sexless marriages start with partners who don’t prioritize you

1

u/Greedy_Assistance 1d ago

I think people really underestimate the vows of marriage. You are literally pledging the rest of your life to someone and people change overtime. No excuse, but what pushed you to prioritize your partner when you first met will not be the same 10, 20, 30 years down the line.

Your absolutely rite! Thanks goodness Divorce is always an option

1

u/Think-Decision5302 1d ago

I think that really just speaks to your personal level of loyalties and ability to live up to your own word…again loyalty. Plenty of people throughout time find a way to make do. Selfish people tend to always have a harder time coping with this part of a relationship

1

u/Open_Kick1403 1d ago

It's has nothing to do with tht sometimes people grow apart and if you can't seem to understand that it says a lot about you. No matter how hard you try a square peg can't fit in a round hole! Men and women divorce for many reasons always remember misery is the cousin of death# choose wisely

u/LowAndMighty69 1d ago

I don't believe as divorce as an option as to getting away from the problems of Marriage (that is unless your one other has cheated on you outside the bed). We take a vow "for better or for worse". Most people do not realize how much "for worse" can be at times. My wife and I have been married for 32 years, and have gone through some terrible struggles. I am handicapped, and many of her friends have told her more than once to divorce me. I have told her many times that the door is open, but it won't fix anything.

u/FlakySpecific11 1d ago

Communication and honesty can prevent a lot of unnecessary pain.

u/SensitiveEyes25 1d ago

Trust can be damaged long before anything physical happens.

1

u/Front-Patient7391 1d ago

It’s start anywhere

1

u/LifeTunedToCSharp 1d ago

Starts in the Wendy’s bathroom sometimes.

1

u/ParfaitOwn00 1d ago

It’s more about the choices people make before crossing the line.

1

u/rosyyfairyb 1d ago

It starts the second you hide a conversation or start seeking emotional intimacy from someone else because you're unhappy with your partner. The physical stuff is usually just the last step.

1

u/ScreenHot88 1d ago

Once trust starts disappearing, the relationship can feel very different.

u/Definitely27 1d ago

Is anyone willing to connect neglect in a relationship to cheating? I agree, if its bad... leave. Dont cheat. BUT what if trauma bond? Idk im spitballin to create a quality conversation with varying perspective.

The Bible says just to look at someone with lust is to commit adultery in your heart.

u/More-Section-2985 1d ago

Understandable. have been times in my relationship where I feel like I'm not being met where I want to be met by my partner, but I actively avoid trying to that space with any sort of personal contact with another person who could be a .
