>>20595123Relationships that last this long very rarely have ONE side that's responsible for anything, good or bad.
Together 10 years, 0 children? Together 10 years and never proposed or agreed on skipping the formal marriage part anyway? Ten fucking years and a leased apartment? Not a dog, not a cat, not a shared car, not even a fucking guppy in a fucking fish bowl? Not a shared hobby, not a shared WHATEVER?
Because if you're together for 10 years and part ways, and there's nothing you'll rip apart or lose other than the partner themselves, then you've not been together really. It was always a mutually assisted masturbation, but not a relationship.
There are more things wrong in this relationship than we know of. A lot. And it's bad. Maybe she asked a thousand times for having a baby? Maybe they tried and failed? Maybe he's not nearly ambitious enough for growing the relationship and providing for her maternity and nursing time?
If a couple doesn't have a child, dog, cat, hobby or house together ("or", not "and"), after TEN FUCKING YEARS, they are not a couple. Not even a cozy rental apartment or a garden? Not a stupid hamster? They've been living like roommates who fuck. Neither committed and neither noticed the other not commiting.
Millennials are like that.
