A Quick Rant

I hesitate to post this entry because it is not really the tone I want to have in my blog. But I'm going to do it anyway and maybe I'll delete it later once I settle down.

I take my relationship with Craig very seriously. Though we don't enjoy the same rights as a traditionally "married" couple, I think we both agree a piece of paper wouldn't make our relationship any more committed.

I have utter disdain for those who proclaim to be in a relationship but then don't act accordingly. I'm disgusted to hear about people who betray the trust of their loved ones. As far as I'm concerned, physical or mental abuse of a spouse should get life in prison (with torture every other Wednesday.) Cheating on your partner...death penalty.

Serious relationships aren't for everyone, and that's fine. But don't drag another person into a committed relationship that you aren't going to live up to. I'm amazed at the selfishness some people display.

Am I the perfect partner? Husband? Wife? (Whatever) Definitely not. Just ask Craig. But I feel I have a strong sense of what is appropriate and what is not. And quite frankly, I look forward to many years of practice getting better.

Now I must go run around the block, or something.
