If you can't fix your marriage normally, just drink/take drugs so you're too smashed to worry about whether you actually like your partner!
Solid advice.
In related news, if you're unfulfilled in your current relationship, just cheat/spend time with others to fill the gaps! Problem solved.
tell me you've never taken psychedelics without telling me
Lol. If your relationship has improved significantly becsuse you've taken some short term acting drugs then it either wasn't a problem in the first place or you're lying to yourself.
Are people here not in relationships? You must have intense fantasies to think long term issues can be solved by short term solutions.
Sometimes a bandage helps to stop the bleeding.
Sometimes bandages are left on too long and wounds fester.
Bandages can be useful sometimes, but care must still be taken.
The anecdote sort of works, but in my version, you're putting a bandage on a broken bone. I mean, sure, maybe it'll help but there's better ways of doing it based on what we know.
