When I see senior couples together, I sometimes wonder, will I be able to grow old together with a guy? I'm so detached from the real world that I cannot even see myself sharing bodily fuilds with someone, having babies and then grow old together till death do us part.
And when I see elderly couples together, I wonder, is love still in the equation? Or are they only together because of the children, because society dictates so, because they have no major cause to call for a divorce, because they have no other choice?
What if there's no more icing on the cake after 1, 2, 3 years? Does familiarity breed comtempt?
What if he grows old so ungracefully, that the meer sight of him is repulsive? And as people grow old, they become more stubborn, have their fixed ways of getting things done, which may not be how the other party wants done. And it's a well known fact that people get more and more long winded as they get older.
What if after a short while, one has seen through the other party, through and through, thoroughly and there's no more mystery at all anymore, then what is there to hold the other partner's attention?
What if the spouse falls seriously ill, and the job of a primary care giver falls on me, and then I'll hate it so much, evil thoughts cross my mind? *shudder*

Will love be enough to sustain the relationship? I guess time will tell.. we can only see so much about our future, rite?
I disagree with the saying that "familiarity breeds comtempt". In the end the people who going to take care of you is someone who understands and tolerates you.
I wonder whether this is the reason why a lot of old man with multiple wives suddenly go back to their old first wives.
