      It takes a lot of work and compromise. You are getting one glance at a lifetime.

      I got married sorta recently. My biggest hold-up was the fact that the most optimal outcome of marriage was this: I was going to spend the remainder if my life making them happy, always being there, and being an essential part of their existence, and when they need me most, in their golden days, near the end, they’re gonna have to hold my hand and watch me fucking die.

      I told them this before I proposed, and the crazy thing was, they were still all for it.
