Why My Parents’ Divorce Didn’t Make Me Cynical
I learned not to rush things
As I mentioned, my parents barely knew each other when they got engaged. They were long distance, and had spent a total of a month or so in the same place. And then…surprise…they weren’t that compatible after all! I’m grateful to have learned the important lesson of not rushing things. I’ve been with my boyfriend for five years, and we aren’t getting married any time soon—it’s something we’ve discussed extensively.
