Yes, unfortunately too many people fall in love first with the idea of who to be married to instead of falling in love with the person. At that point, pride and desperation rule their lives through anger.

True. I think they have this idea of what marriage will be like and by the time they realise it’s nothing like they imagined it’s too late.

I have a vague memory of this word and I’ve never used it. Actually I’ve witnessed cantankerous neighbors (fortunately not mine) who can be very angry and annoying…

Oh, what a killer. Sigh. Loving thy neighbor is easy said than done. I heard terrible neighboring stories in the community… and one poor woman has to fight with her neighbor who constantly calls police on them.
