That statement is a classic and I've certainly felt that way, before when married, and a little carryover into the beginning of my divorcee years.

The post is raw, honest and though unenviable, relateable.

Reminded me, of some of the statements my grams friends have said. Tolerable conpanionship, rife with sacrifice. They live out widow years, grateful for independence, yet wistful they'd had it, to begin with. Unashamed and unabashed.
Thanks for this!
