Marriage
Don’t be jealous if I spend 50% of my time with you and 50% of my time with others, because you get 100% of 50%, while all the others have to share that other 50%.

-Jarod Kintz "This Book Has No Title"
Men marry women with the hope they will never change. Women marry men with the hope they will change. Invariably they are both disappointed.
