As someone who is constantly pondering about the archiving of time and is very resentful of the various dimensions of the single tax, I appreciate you sharing this fantastic piece so much. Hoping life, joy and peace for you 💗
“We had the kind of thing that shouldn’t have worked from the beginning, making every day together feel like an accomplishment in itself.” This is a big reason I made it to 44 today without getting married (even when I had an unplanned pregnancy with a shitty man that gave me my awesome now 22yr old), and I witness it in nearly all of my friends’ relationships, but they keep slogging it out… even while miserable, they find me weird for not wanting to do the same, almost pity me. Their relationships actually reinforce my satisfaction with my choice, in spite of the perpetual “single tax” I have to pay. I really appreciate the nuance of this piece and your perspective, and wish you joy and peace as you move forward. 💜
