    From a person who has been divorced once, and seen other friends get divorced. it’s not so much about choosing carefully, it’s about communication when the relationship gets tough or boring (and ideally before you get there). Finding the right person is the easy part, staying in love and staying happy - that’s the difficult part

      You could argue that taking care to communicate openly and honestly is a choice, and that choosing someone able and willing to do that is a HUGE part of “finding the right person” 🤷🏻

      But yeah, “communication is key” didn’t become a cliché because it ISN’T true heh

      Yeah I’d guess she either has unreasonable expectations, is a terrible communicator, or just a hot mess in general. Had a cousin like this. She was probably all three.
