This has been brewing for a while but the political stuff was the nail in the coffin for our relationship. It hurts to say it. I love the guy. But I can't be with someone who has zero fight in them and zero patriotism. I mean with as patriotic as I am now I can't believe it lasted this long. Can't wait to get out there and date REAL manly men lol.
Sorry for this post. I'm just a little sad and needed to vent.
No, it's way more than a ceremony, religious or secular. It is the fundamental social unit which see s the birth and reading of kids. The state has of course screwed things up, but the future of the nation requires men and women bonding and that involves way more than one afternoon at city hall or a beach or church. And yes, nowadays it has to deal with property and progeny if the marriage fails.
