    I didn’t watch the whole video not gonna lie. Sorry about that, maybe the clip I saw wasn’t the whole thing, because I missed all that.

    Im glad you’re preparing for your loneliness. The men of my father’s gen didn’t seem as prepared as you. I didn’t know being kind to my love was “a feelings game”. We don’t see it that way, but least you know who you are, that’s good.

    Have a good day and best of luck to you in your endeavors.

    Edit, watched the whole clip. I thought to review it yesterday and didn’t, my bad honestly, I wish I had. I see what you mean now. I totally missed the wife’s role when I barely saw it months ago. Saw where he says, okay I’m done.

    Remembering why I dismissed the video, and many videos- because who goes to check on their partner with their phone in hand like that? What type of person, sees their husband feeling emotional and drags out their phone to record them? Its weird. The whole thing is fucking wierd to me. If my husband came out to me, phone in my face, my first address before speaking would be why are you recoding me? Stop.

    I don’t know these people, and I am certainly not about to assign a generalization to society based off these two folks encounter. She is being dismissive in a moment he is being introspective. How many times have generders been reversed, or the same as eachother, where one person is being insightful/ introspective, and another human comes along to rag on them about it? We also don’t know what these two history is, nor do I care. Time fascinates me, especially it’s passage, 40 years is a long time, I get the sentiment, which is why I only remembered his voice not hers when recalling my memory of the video.

    Im not going to base my own outlook on life on some person not understanding the sentiment, she was recording, why was she recording? She clearly had the joke in her head already, it would not have mattered what he said, she was already planning to say that it seems. The type of person who records/uploads videos of their family so often if fills a data center probably doesn’t have much introspection themselves. Those types I’m not friends with. It’s so weird. The dude was totally having a moment, and a sweet one at that, and yeah, she turns it to a joke. “Aww can’t you take a joke?” I can hear the voices from people who have said this to me. This isn’t some isolated incident- like, raise your hand if youve had a sentimental moment interrupted by someone being rude for laughs.

    Anyway, agree with you about the video, still hold a different outlook on finding and holding love.

    Wishing you the best man, I’ll give the next dog I meet extra pets for being a good boy in your honor.
