What should I be doing now? (It's done)

[Zues126]

Thanks Coconut. To be clear, I don't feel insufficient. I just think today's expectations are unattainable. Same difference in the end I suppose.

Conventional wisdom says that we can do better than the previous generation by knowing our boundaries, fixing our pickers, finding someone compatible, and on and on and on. It sounds good on paper because it promises us the fulfillment of our desires. But I don't see it working. I look at the growing list of deal breakers and expectations and lofty ideals of romantic love and fulfilled desire as impossible at best, and temptations from the devil designed to undermine the stability of our families at worst.

I'm not blaming anyone. I'm not proposing a solution. I think it's inevitable. Here was a post I just wrote on my own thread. You can skip the pool bit. http://www.divorcebusting.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=2754091&page=5

We'll see. I'll be watching from the sidelines to see how things work out. If the world shows me a bunch of people that remain married and happy to levels we've never seen before then I'm not ruling out a future partnership. Until I see something more convincing than today's landscape it looks more like jumping into shark infested waters.

But I'm not pessimistic. Life goes on and we'll continue to enjoy the experiences that we were given to enjoy. And even if we can't solve these problems I think AI just might. Or it might enslave us all and put us in people zoos. But either way we'll muddle through. It's what we do.
