Is it like you thought it would be? I know that after the initial newlywed bliss wore off, and the reality of kids, bills, and the like sunk in, things would change into a somewhat mundane, watered-down version of that marital dream. I really never expected things to morph into something completely opposite though. When all passion, sympathy, and empathy ceases to exist; what you have left, are the crumbs of something you never really had to begin with. A dark, cynical view, or merely life? Are happy moments supposed to be this rare? Really?
