I seem to keep forgetting that I have this. I don't spend a lot of time on my computer, at least comperable to some other people I know. No Facebook addiction, or Twitter friends. Having a blog at all is pretty big, I guess. Though when I first mentioned it on my Facebook, I was asked what it was about. All I said was "my thoughts." I know people keep blogs as weight loss motivators, or to let everyone know what's going on with their family. But sometimes I just need a place to let myself ramble. I don't really have any purpose for these posts, just to do them.
I know I'm just a newlywed, but I don't understand how people can hate their spouses. Or get to the point that they just don't care. I was listening to the radio the other day, where the woman was going around asking people to share their secrets. When I tuned in, she was speaking to a woman who said she'd cheated. The radio girl's response was "so what, everyone does." so the woman said it was multiple times with multiple people. I was so disturbed by this. How could these people be so flippant about affairs? Our society has become so filled with cheating that no one seems to care anymore. On House, Wilson and his wife are both having affairs, and when she leaves, he says to House, "Maybe I'm dealing with something and I need to talk with my friend." Dealing with something? You cheated on your wife, and she left. In fact, he has three failed marriages - did they all end because of cheating?
How many movies, and TV shows, and books are filled with affairs. Our world has become numb to people stepping out. It's no scandal anymore, and it makes me so sad. How can people not value a marriage? People of all ages enter into marriage, thinking that they have a way out - if this doesn't work out, I'll just get a divorce. You're just setting yourself up to fail! If you don't value your marriage, why the hell are you entering into it in the first place?! You don't "fall out of love" you stop trying. You give up. Love is not an emotion, it's a commitment. Marriage takes work. It's an effort. But you do it because you choose to love that person for the rest of your life.
I feel such a rage about these people who hold no value in their marriages. People who don't care about the sanctity of marriage - those in them and those not in them - make me absolutely furious. I can feel myself getting so worked up.
And for that I think I need to stop writing now... By the way, the title had nothing to do with the post itself.
