Well, two of my friends got engaged yesterday. It was really great because I know they will be great together .... for two or three years. It sucked for two reasons. First, the fool knew better; why would he do something like this, to both him and his fiancee. She was 22, he only needed to wait 3 more years and the marriage might actually have lasted. Well, there still is a 5% chance that marriage will be successful but only a 2 or 3% chance that it wont be dysfunctional. They had been together for 3 and a half years. He had been trained in sexuality and marriage, just like me. He knew that he only had to wait 3 more years
. Second, when he proposed to her; he did it by going and telling about all the times their relationship had been troubled. Which of course reminded me of my amazingly similar problems with another girl
. And then he did Johari's window. Why did he have to do Johari's window, nothing else reminds me of my loneliness than that damn window.
BTW, for those of you who have no clue what I am talking about. The chances of a marriage failing if the female(the age of the male doesnt matter
) is less than 25 years of age is SO high. After 25 years of age the chances of it being succesful starts sky-rocketing(5%-10% increased chance of success for every year). There is a lot of reasons for this....
Johari's window is a simple model. There are things you know about your self and no one else does(the hidden self). There are things others know about you that either dont exist or you dont know about(the blind self). Then there are things that both you and other people know about(the open self). Finally, there are things that neither you nor anyone else knows about(the mysterious self). These are things that are too small to notice, or that you or others will discover in the future. If you are not in a good relationship you are going to be very blind, very mysterious, very hidden, and not very open. Hence why it depresses me....
