      same, my parents have both hated each other for like 12 years now but never divorced, truly a mystery why i have so many mental problems now

        Religion plays a large part in it as well. My parents have always hated each other but got married cause my mom got pregnant, now they won’t divorce because it’s against god or whatever

        Sadly, yeah. Doesn't matter the sexuality I think. Everyone just wants to feel someone cares about them.

            Oh, I don't think it's necessarily a "basis" for the relationship. They just rush into these things because they don't want to "die alone." A lot of them break up and look for the next one. So it's not like it's the end-all-be-all, but with straight folks they find these relationships earlier (in high school) while gay folks start later in life (their 30's or later).

            As shitty as it sounds to put it this way, it's a sort of "biological clock" (ugh) for that feeling.

      well yeah, marriage is a legal contract. the state is in part forcing couples to stay together.
