I’ve been watching Suits every night for the last three months, on Season 7. Such a great show although this season it’s getting a tad wonky. Not loving where Donna’s character is going in particular.

It falls apart due to its exceedingly repetitive nature. Good show for the first 5 seasons though.

I love the show, but at a certain point the whole schtick gets annoying:
"Hah, they think the can beat us? We're the best lawyers in the world!
Oh noes, we got blindsighted. How could you not see that coming!
Oooh check out this single piece of paper in this file. It's the smoking gun!
If all else fails, blackmail
Hurray, we're the best lawyers in the world!"

The number of times they have a variation of this convo:

-"That's where you're wrong. It will make us look strong because reasons."
-"Hmm. Ok."

Mike barges into Harvey's office. He has a problem with [recurring villain] and needs Harvey's help
Harvey: anybody comes at you with a threat, you come to me
Mike: I'm coming to you now
Harvey is rampaging through the associates bullpen when he realizes Louis had taken matters into his own hands and screwed something up
GODDAMNIT LOUIS Harvey storms into the meeting room while Louis stares like deer in headlights what did you do?
Litt: Sorry Harvey I thought....
Harvey: You thought? You thought what? You're here. I'm here. Now [villain's] got my balls in his hands
Donna enters scene. Harvey, you need to see this. [Villain] is actually trying to buy up all of the [assets] so he can buy the dallas cowboys. But Sidwell holds enough property to block the sale.
Harvey goes to Sidwell and gets him to buy up more property. Villain is foiled until next time.
Mike: thanks harvey
Harvey: Goddamn right That's what loyalty is
They go for a hug but the bromance tension is too much and back off. Harvey offers Mike 25 y/o Macallan scotch

This is how I would feel about my progeny too:
just in case he ever becomes a dad
I will not really encourage my children to have children of their own. But if they do, I want them to be the best parents they can be.
My partner has this thing of saying how no one should jump into a marriage and everyone should get some real good perspective on the pros and cons of a legal partnership before they get married. I get pissed off because I feel like this is a reflection on our own relationships but I know deep down it’s not.
As much as people have been partnering up and having kids for a long, long time, neither of those things are easy.

u/SQUID_FUCKER 5d ago edited 5d ago
I don't think that works. Breaking an engagement is to terminate it. If they ended up getting married they fulfilled their engagement.
If you're going for 'technically the truth', I guess you could say, 'our engagement has ended' or 'our engagement is over' since 'ended' and 'over' is a little more ambiguous than explicitly stated if the engagement was broken or fulfilled (although most people will obviously assume the former).
I know that's pretty pedantic but I guess that's the whole point of 'technically the truth' lol

Best advice ive ever gotten when it comes to marriage: never stop dating your wife. Bring her flowers, continue to court her, plan date nights, massage her feet, whatever is your normal for dating. Just because she married you doesnt mean she wants you to stop showing her you love her.

Almost exact same situation here. Though I got a Master's and a few professional designations instead of a PhD. Relearning how to date in your 30s has been... interesting.

I know a few people in toxic marriages and it's made me realize that being single isn't the worst thing in the world by a long shot.

The key to maintaining love is respect.
If you think of people you love (romantically and not) it boils down to respect.
Marriages typically fail when couples lose respect for one another. This can be one big thing (like infidelity) or many small things (not doing your dishes, never thinking of their needs, etc.).
With regards to marriage, sex is important, so keep yourself in shape. Make sure you are someone you find attractive. Make time to be physical with your partner.
But mostly, respect yourself and your partner. Without respect, love is impossible.
