    This looks like a picture from around 1930, right after the stock crash. The man just lost all his money. The woman, she’s in shock.

    He’s probably despairing from the abject failure of his ability to support his family.

      Then the message is right, if he was single he wouldn’t have to worry about supporting a family.

        No, he’d be in the same state, as he can’t support himself anymore, and possibly worse because he does not have someone to help him and/or give comfort.

        She’d be in the same state because she would be married to someone else who had similar problems, or worse if she were a spinster. Back then, women didn’t have a lot of options to support themselves.

    My wife snores like a Sicilian mason, but only when I lay beside her, strangely. So, I’m wandering between the sofa and the bed in the night. But that’s nothing compared to the condition I’d be in without her. Probably dead. (I’m not exaggerating)

      Jo wtf, I looked at its profile and this dude is straight up moderator of an Anti-Nato community. The only thing I saw there is some over-dramatic video that shows how Germany is Nazi again and steals everything valuable from you and this because of Nato and Zelenski. Wtf.

    Yes, being in a relationship, especially when you live with your partner presents new challenges you wouldn’t have on your own, but learning how to overcome those challenges is how you become a better person.

    Learning how to compromise, when to compromise and when not to compromise (and when to back down because there is no compromise) is a brilliant skill to have

    Yes, because the problems only singles have are solved by being in a relationship…So the only problems left are the ones that come from the relationship. Deep, innit?
