Do we think these two will ever divorce or will they just keep releasing stories about how much they hate each other forever?

I feel like they're one of those couples who literally never stops talking about how marriage is HARD WORK!!!! and sometimes we just HATE EACH OTHER!!!!

[lloydsgurl]

They’ve admitted to having fights so intense they “black out” like w t f

[bellapisces]

They should probably see a healthcare professional about that. And then get a fucking divorce.

literally WHAT omfg

I'm with you. In relationships, you definitely go through some hard shit but if it's this hard all the time, there's something not right. Like we consistently (against our wills) hear about their conflicts and it doesn't seem like they resolve any of these conflicts well or at all. Their resolution can be chalked up to "well let's vomit it all out to the public and then resign to just staying together cos we've ~invested too much time into this". Plus the fact that their very young children are addicted to non-alcoholic beer which the parents think is just funny and adorable says so much about their family and the dysfunctional dynamics that play out in that house every day.

Nah you're right. When they say every marriage has its ups and downs, I think that just refers to the natural course of life and not everything being so honeymooney. If it's like, half the time you dislike or have major issues with your spouse...that ain't healthy

[gettyupcowboy]

No you’re 100% correct. I’m married now and our relationship is easy. We argue yes but over petty stuff and make up pretty quickly. Having black out fights is unhealthy and toxic. Being in a relationship where you sometimes hate each other is unhealthy.

[toxic_illusion]

I’ve been in a relationship for 10 years, it’s never been THAT hard. I don’t think we fight, we just have disagreements in which lack of communication is to blame 98% of the time.

I’ve never “blacked out” and I’ve never hated my fiancé.

[theactualworst]

Yeah I agree and I’ve never had to “work to love other people” in any sense if they treat me well ya know? Even in friendships, yeah you may have disagreements and petty fights but if they regularly disrupt my mental and emotional well-being then I move on. Part of loving someone through the hard times is that it’s worth it because you know this is just a bad time but for the most part things have been good.

Also, you can genuinely deeply love someone and still not have it be healthy or the right relationship.

[umilicious]

This is so accurate. I loved my ex-husband (and still do as a close friend*), but we realized that we weren’t bringing out the best in each other and went our separate ways. It’s just not healthy to keep trying to fix something that isn’t getting fixed. Kristen Bell really comes off as the “stay together for the kids, no matter what” kind of parent and it makes me sad because now those kids will have to grow up in that toxic environment.

* - you know, the kind that you talk to once a year but you’re still close

[msmandiemitz]

No, you're correct. I've been married 11 years and sure, there have been some tough moments in our relationship but they're few and far between. We disagree on things here and there, but never ever fight or do things that would make either of us feel like we "wake up and choose to love each other" wtf lol. I don't feel like I've ever had to choose to love him, I just.... do? and it feels easy and right.

[phoenix_singing]

Can confirm. I’ve been married for nearly a decade and while there are times when you fight and upset each other (because, you know, we’re human, humans sometimes disagree, humans sometimes piss each other off, and sometimes humans just mess up and hurt each other by accident), it shouldn’t be *that* difficult. Like, yes, it takes work to keep a marriage healthy and starting; no, it isn’t a lifelong honeymoon; but no, it doesn’t involve hate or blackout fights and it should definitely not be intense effort all the time.

Ben Affleck said something similar and look how that turned out.
