As long as you’re happy? It’s just marriage? Not a big deal?

I used to dabble a bit in drinking when I'd first moved from Connecticut to Texas although I did sip some alcohol back in Connecticut when my parents weren't home, and it was absolutely disgusting and my curiosity on it died right there.

My parents haven't had a good relationship, they're never really happy together and their arguments escalate into fights when, surprise surprise, they get drunk!

They keep vodka and gold tequila around but they drink Miller lite the most by a very wide margin. No exaggeration when I say that the night after they drink, there are cans everywhere and the garbage can is full of beer cans.

I got my toes wet a little more after I got my second job after leaving my first due to not enough hours and me wanting to deliver food instead of just making it. Don't worry, I never and I mean NEVER went near a wheel after having even the tiniest drop of alcohol but after work, I did drink sometimes.

In the past two years, I've stayed away completely from alcohol as the taste is abhorrent in all alcohols, it's just different levels of disgusting for each of them. It's extremely hard for me to get drunk and even then, any feeling of excitement wears off after 5 minutes.

After researching as well the impact that alcohol has on relationships, marriage and work, I've concluded that it's best to stay away from alcohol. Although I could've guess that impaired judgement leads to bad decisions.

I've seen the decay of a marriage that came from two narcissistic children trapped in the bodies of adults and that's certainly not what I want for me and my girlfriend who i hope to marry once me and her begin our careers and become financially stable. But thanks to healthcare costs for me due to a condition I have being at an average of $2,000 per month, I'll need to start my career before I can afford to live on my own.

Is that an attractive trait for a love partner to you?🤔

We see that when bisexual women choose to date women they describe dating much more difficulty compared to men; this is further supported by transmen. When we look at divorce rates between lesbians and gay men, we see that the divorce rates are way higher when it comes to lesbians.

For example:

"More lesbians than gay men get married, but the discrepancy in divorce rates is much wider than that in marriage rates. Gay men account for 44 per cent of same-sex marriages in the latest data, but make up only 26 per cent of divorcees."

When we look at heterosexual marriages, 80% of divorces are initiated by women with 55% of first time marriages likely to fail.

Do you think that when it comes to relationships that gay men are much happier than all other couples?
