Read a thread about how liberating it is to be totally oneself in a relationship - no pretense, no performance

Wife & I got the deep dark secrets out of the way when we were dating, but the performative stuff is half the fun of being married

People should do it more, not less
People think they're not allowed to act like a grown man or woman until they *feel* like one, & that never happens, so they go to barcades & have 12-year engagements

I was lucky to find a girl who treated me like a man & didn't laugh at me when I tried to act like one
Right - being deeply honest with each other is important but it's not nearly the last stop

In fact if you don't get that out of the way pretty early on you get into real trouble

It's a performance in the artistic sense https://twitter.com/RupertVonRipp/status/1337274356548952067?s=19
