My ex will never be happy, as she is unable to recognize happiness when she’s there. My wife, on the other hand, enjoys the moment, despite her ambition. It’s a huge part of why I married her.
I, too, have dreams of escaping to a log cabin in the woods, with nobody to tax me, nobody to bother me, and nobody to get in the way of the exciting things I want to do. Of course, if I did that, I’d quickly dive deep into depression; I’m an extrovert, who am I kidding?
