reading richard yate's revolutionary road

I realize that all relationships are essentially the same. You have love moments, and moments when you're tired of everything including the love moments, and you make habits and you have comfortable things, and things change, but then you get used to them, and make new habits and get comfortable with different things, and then you hate it all, and then you feel like you need it all, and then you hate it all, and then you think what else is there? and then you're all like, this is the point anyways, and then you're like whatever, I'm happy, and then you really are happy, really, really happy and comfortable and in love with someone and their habits and your together habits and then you hate it all, but then you don't. And you're like, it's worth it, and you're like, is it? but you don't want it to be over, so it's not. until you do. And then maybe you don't again. And sometimes you go days or weeks or months without thinking about these things and then sometimes you think about them constantly. But basically, you have a companion, that counts on you, that you count on, a person who you can hate the most in the world but is the person you love most in the world, is the only person who matters sometimes, is the only person at all sometimes. I don't know, it's a cycle, maybe people work on different cycles, and obviously they have different habits and comfort zones and whatever, but it's all the same shit. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I don't know.
