I truly belive my parents were meant for each other, but were not meant to stay with each other, a thread;

They are both spontaneous buyers
- they find something good and has money for it, they'll buy it without second thoughts (a trait we inherited and i'm not proud of)

Both are amazing cooks
- mom loves to cook so much and tries different dishes and sometime experiments with it while my dad just cooks but is very good at it tho

So inlove with driving around (I guess that's why I love roadtrips)

They are deadset on things they want and hate
- you can never argue with them when they have decided on something already because it'll come inside the left ear and out of the right ear

My Dad is that person who would do every chores so that everyone gets to relax, and my Mom is that person who just wants to relax and have somebody else do the chores (and by somebody else, I mean me and my siblings)

They are both heavy drinkers, they can drink all day but still drive like professionals (but no to drunk driving peeps that's bad)

They are both so good with strangers. They be talking to someone they just met and be joking around like they've known each other for years.

When they are mad, you have to leave them alone to cool off on their own and would be fine after an hour or two

My Dad is so caring and my Mom just needs so much caring in her

My Mom has lame jokes really but my Dad would laugh even at lame jokes and even try to ride on your joke

Both are good with math (but none of the children are smh)

My Dad loves action movies and my Mom enjoys it too she'll be screaming at intense parts.

Always trying their best to give everything to their children even if it means having less for themselves

I've seen them help people who are in need in little ways and that always inspires me to be good to everyone regardless of status

Both didn't get to live the life they wanted because they became parents too early.

They are so similiar but are so different at the same time. I got to see them doing these things but with different people. Never got to grow up with seeing them together at all and sometimes I just think of the what ifs of their relationship.

My parents for me are my exact example of no matter how much you guys are compatible and how each of you complete each other, it doesn't guarantee you'll end up staying for each other.

Made this thread becauses I needed an outlet of my thoughts on how my parents could have been so good together as husband and wife. But their love wasn't strong enough to stay for each other despite their struggles.
