. There are no great partners. They are all horrible, we just don't know how yet. It's just a matter of whether these horrible partners can stick it out long enough to have moments of surprising happiness in the middle. Dating/courting is like a hormone induced optical illusion designed to procreate our species, I get that new partners make us feel good and we can fill in the gaps of our ignorance with fantasy and hope, but we who have been through this should know better than to take that perception too seriously
Hahaha! I love this. I agree. ( Can I use it in my upcoming maid of honor speech this weekend? ) I'll certainly toast to one day meeting someone less horrible then the rest.
