"I love that our relationship strives for 50/50 equality, not like a check split down the middle, but like one of those little birds who hangs out on top of a rhinoceros." 💯

Honestly one of the best essays about marriage I've ever read. Maybe one of the best essays, period.

"I love to know who she hates and to hate them as well."

Cannot be overstated.

"Things can become different things with time and intention" is a lovely sentiment that will stick with me. Great read!

This is probably the most authentic thing i have read on Substack.

I very much like the idea that you managed to decongest a buffet but drilled down to the idea of choice. And the fact that if it is not a choice, then it is a detention.

But still managed to situate that choice and how devastating it would be if she left.

Thank you for this great work 👏
