Started dating my wife when she was 19 and I was 20. Moved in together the following year. Got married a couple of years after that. It's been 23 years so far, and she's the best partner I could ask for. But was that really a decision, or just luck? Instinct? Maybe a bit of each.
Worst:
Struggling through depression on my own without getting proper help, and without taking any time off from stressful commitments. Better now, but definitely did it the hard way. But was that a decision? Or was I unable to accurately assess the situation, or to see how there might be a smarter way out of it?
