Excellent video. Yes I do believe that happens. I also believe our society doesn't understand marriage as it actually is. It is not two people living together. It is two people, becoming one. It is so transactional these days. I've been with my husband 16 years, married for 5 and the last two years have been like the quiet quitting end stages. We were almost living as two separate households and sex was non existent, communication was functional turning to bickering. It was dying but neither of us wanted to actually accept or acknowledge the elephant in the room. Only when we finally did could we make a decision on the future path. When we finally accepted that everything we are told about what marriage 'should' be is completely wrong and we dropped our individual selfish outlooks, could we embrace what marriage is meant to be. Marriage is a sacred and amazing thing. It is meant to be Happy. It is meant to bring you joy and the other person. Men and women have such different needs in a relationship and fighting that doesn't help. Expecting a man to see things as a woman and a woman to see things as a man is literally the most messed up thing ever. If people choose to marry they need to know what it involves. Sacrifice, honouring the other person, loving and allowing yourself to be loved. Unconditional understanding even through the hardest times. The opposite of what we are led to believe. That's why most marriages fail imo. Marriage is not the same level as the mundane 'world' crap. Marriage is so much more than that. It's hard to find the right way and to grasp but I can honestly say I'm so glad we quit 'quiet quitting' and actually gave 150%. It's always a work in progress and as we grow and age we change. But its a vow we took seriously and as such we will keep on keeping on ❤
great video! I feel that people talk a lot about malicious compliance in a marriage or even weaponized incompetence but I never hear how that behavior can spiral into a back-and-forth battle of giving up and resentment.
