wait that's actually really sad. There's a strange comfort in knowing my dad loved my mom I can't imagine how that'd feel without it. Also i imagine it feels like you werent born to be loved T﹏T
I’m from an Asian household, fits the lack of affection stereotype haha. They argue sometimes, there is no love affirmation or words. Just through actions maybe. My mom told me that dad proposed to her, and she just accepted it since she was of marriage age and liked him too. Like but not love.
Divorce doesn’t even come to their mind.
I imagine being born in a house with parents that love each other is nice. I feel like parents who love each other will love their children through words too.
It’s not too bad, it is awkward but I can live with it because I have other siblings!
omg I didn't know we were talking about you or i would've phrased it differently. I'm sorry for being insensitive I thought we were talking about hypotheticals. I'd love to say it's a blessing and a curse because at least you know not to follow their footsteps and end up with such a sad marriage but I know the negatives outweigh the positives. I'm sure you know this but you are lovable and so loved. Even when my brother is being a little shit and I want to wack him over the head almost losing him reminded me just how much I love him. Siblings understand you more than anyone else will I'm glad you have them. I'm not sure if say it or know that they do but you're loved.
Hi so I come from an arab household. this alone speaks for itself lol, anyway same as you my parents dont share love. but we have something called mawaddah, and its basically the feeling of liking this person, and living with them in harmony, and peace which is actually a great feeling, and it comes from years of living and sharing a life together. Its not less than love, and honestly this is a thing that all couples have unless they hate each other. so even if they dont use words of love I believe they have mawaddah in their hearts for each other and I think knowing this thing has been consoling me for years and I just wanted to share it with you hoping it will do the same thing for you.
That's beautiful I love that
Not gonna lie, finding out your parents got together for convenience and not love hits hard, and I see stories with that trope in a different light.
