I am at the cynical point in my life where I don’t think real love matters as long as everyone is satisfied with the relationship. Yes, I hope for real life, but lifetime love is rare because compatibility changes over time and different stages of life. But for him to be estranged from his children is quite sad.

I also made the mistake of searching up his friend because I couldn’t remember him. Well, as long as everyone is happy, I will put away my dropped jaw.

His views sound outdated, which isn’t surprising, but again, it shatters a childhood bubble for me. Not knowing is much better.
