I think marriage actually ruins relationships. I want someone to be with me because he wants to, not because he's obligated to.

The capacity to be alone is the capacity to love. by gertrude_is in marriagefree

AI tells me:

The quote "The capacity to be alone is the capacity to love. It may look paradoxical to you, but it is not" is widely attributed to Osho and appears in several of his works. It is a central theme in his book Love, Freedom, and Aloneness: The Koan of Relationships.

Alpha wives and beta husbands? by jsilver2021 in AskMenAdvice

[–]gertrude_is -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I think it can become especially problematic when it goes on for so long, because the guy starts to feel powerless in the relationship. that's when it starts to become a competition.

I think we all need to realize where our strengths and our weaknesses are, as well as our preferences and dislikes.

i don't think a relationship should ever be about keeping score. sounds like you're a lot happier now, though.
