I remember Whitney saying that one of the reasons her and Bobby stayed together was to prove people wrong. That logic makes no sense to me. Stay in a dead end marriage for other people's expectations (whether to prove them wrong or right).


Also, that whole "til death do us part" can really be exploited. People take that vow and figure they can behave in reckless and disrespectful ways cause they know their spouse will never leave. Tethering your life to someone else's on an unconditional basis can leave someone ripe for all kinds of harm.

Lastly, people get far too caught up on love and don't consider if their spouse respects them. Love and respect are two different things. You need both to have a healthy, satisfying relationship.
