My couch is extremely comfortable, and there is a specific configuration of pillows, limbs and head which is easily assumed and will instantly and irrevocably make you fall asleep. For instance, I found it today when I got home from work and just woke up, eradicating any chance I have of accomplishing the things I wanted to accomplish today after work.
\x0a\x0aHence, nap trap.

But I don’t think I’m the best man for that particular job. I was only married for six months, and it was a very rough bunch of years that followed.
\x0a\x0aBut I’m still not convinced that marriage is a negative experience. Despite the bad feelings I have about it, I actually LIKED being married. I liked the certainty that in all the world, no matter what happened, I knew that at least one person would be there with me. Marriage was something I could plant my feet on and get some leverage against the cold, careless universe.
\x0a\x0aBut then again, it turned out that this certainty wasn’t actually certain at all. The right pressure at the right spot made the whole thing crumble, and I never saw it coming.
\x0a\x0aLike anybody who’s been through a traumatic experience, I’m deeply afriad that it will happen again. I’m like a guy who lost a lot of money the first time he played with stocks - I’m wary of investing that much in something that’s just as likely to bite me in the ass. I’ve BEEN bitten before, and it’s not something I want to repeat.
\x0a\x0aSo my post-marriage relationships suffer. I’m not sure when I’ll feel like extending myself again, or investing a lot of myself again, if ever. But I do know that marriage is a distinct possibility. I haven’t ruled it out.
\x0a\x0aBut maybe I’ll think thrice before doing it.
\x0a\x0aAnd hope I don’t get hurt.
