I mean...isnt it self evident?
Marriages are relationships.
There are good and bad relationships, and relationships that are sometimes good and sometimes bad.
People usually complain when it's bad and don't usually mention when it's good.
In the long term, some of the things that make the relationship good stop, and some of the things that make the relationship bad get worse. Marriage doesn't allow for an easy exit hence more people stay married, unhappy.
Give it 15 years, then check in on the op
True, but I'd venture it's even simpler than that - it's easier socially to be critical of stuff than to be positive.
People complain about everything: their spouse, their children, their house, the small scratch on their fancy car, how many shows are on their streaming backlog, how complicated the travel was on their vacation, etc. These are all things that probably bring them lots of joy, but it's so much easier to complain, so to someone (like OP in the image) hearing it, it sounds like the negatives outweigh the positives.
Yeah. Even if in 15 years they won't be happy with their spouse, let them enjoy their life today lol.
My sister's boyfriend got caught with a Tinder account and she was going to break up with him, but then she realized she was pregnant. They're now married with two kids. They seem happy, I guess we will see in a few more years.
