Hi @joshua-pace, wow, what an incredibly romantic thing you did for your girlfriend Megan! It's the stuff that movies are made off!
Regarding marriage, sometimes it's just meeting the "right" person and the right time. I think for each person, there are potentially many people they can find suitable as a partner - certainly our lives take highly different turns depending on the partners we choose, but there are many potential "happy endings."
I remember reading in your previous post that you measure your "future" girlfriends against Megan. Not that I am a romance expert, but I think it's going to be highly improbable to find someone better than the original - after all, each person can only be best at being themselves - so I think it will be tough for someone to be a better Megan ! Perhaps by allowing each person to be evaluated in their own context, you will find it easier to find a future love of your life.
Being a highly practical and unromantic person, my most romantic gestures are probably supporting my husband's dreams - whether it it is cooking less carbs and reminding him to drink green tea when he is trying to lose weight or giving moral support when he wanted to switch careers to a different field.
I really enjoy reading your Common Thread posts! 👍
