Comment on Excuse the fuck me?
red_bull_of_juarez@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 hours agoThat whole “'til death do us part” is some ancient bullshit. People change, situations change. Sticking with a bad situation because you once said “in good times and bad times” even if it is destroying you is some toxic-ass bullshit.

Once again a comment replying to something I didn’t fucking say.
Contrarian bullshit is so chic.

Oh fuck off. I am not being contrarian. I am just too old to believe in absolutes. Things change, people change. That’s just life. And having seen multiple people die of cancer over the years, that shit is no fucking joke and will absolutely ruin the lives of everyone involved. If someone just cannot handle that, it’s OK to leave that awful situation. Yes, it does suck even more for the person who’s actually ill. But I really don’t see a point in ruining multiple lives because of one person’s illness. Again, if people want to step up and be there, that is amazing and laudable. But if you step away simply to protect yourself, you will probably feel bad and wish you could do more. But sometimes you just can’t. Once more: that’s simply how life is.

Just considering the demographics on this website, there’s a fairly decent chance you’re not older than me. Our experiences may differ.
But just by reading this, it’s pretty clear that we have a different definition of a vow. I’m not sure why you’re so up in arms about this.
I called you contrarian because you’re in here arguing a point I didn’t even make. I didn’t say that I would hold you to a vow nor that I would judge you if you broke your vow.
I said that over the last ~50 years of me watching people I have seen a general pattern of the lessening of the value of these intangibles.

Sounds like we’re the same age. And what you describe sounds like the general impression people get as they age. Morals decline, nothing means anything anymore, blabla. That’s been literally said throughout the history of the human race. My experience at least with what people on the internet argue (and not actual behavior) is a tendency towards moral absolutes. Which is something I am strictly against and I might have picked the wrong comment to start my soap box rant.
