Broken Dreams Behind Marriage: A Raw Reality

If Wedding Vows Could Talk

Marriage. That word used to conjure up images of eternal happiness and shiny gold rings. Now? Well, let’s just say the damn shine has worn off a bit, revealing a much more complicated reality.

I see young couples in the park, holding hands, whispering promises of “till death do us part.” Little do they know that sometimes death comes in the form of divorce papers and text message threats. Like that 28-year-old woman, pregnant with her second child, whose husband threatens divorce if she doesn’t abort. What the hell is that all about, folks?

I remember my wedding day like it was yesterday. My white dress, the flowers, and that weird guy, Uncle Bob, who insisted on making a bizarre toast about “keeping your pants buttoned.” Back then, we thought it was funny. Now? Well, let’s just say Uncle Bob might have had a point.

Speaking of Uncle Bob, he was quite a character. Ex-hippie turned family lawyer, always with a crazy story on the tip of his tongue. “Marriage is like a tuna sandwich,” he’d say, “it’s good at first, but if you leave it out of the fridge too long, it’s gonna stink.” Damn wisdom, huh?
