Visited my grandparents recently and my grandma's Alzheimer's is at a bad stage. She also has difficulty walking and getting up due to weight/general age difficulties. Basically needs 24/7 help. Hurts to think about how she is now compared to even 3 years ago. Every time she felt troubled and my grandpa goes to her she's able to calm down and be reassured. They've been together almost 60 years now and it really made me yearn for that kind of companionship

At the end of the circle of life, it is amazing to have someone like that. My mom always told me when choosing a SO to focus 100% on what is on the inside and not outside (appearance) & as I age, I appreciate her advice even more. You are lucky to see your grandparents true love 💕

Definitely! It's one of those things people really take for granted imo. Seeing my grandparents really makes me feel like I should start finding a gf too, but it was bittersweet seeing that bond they shared still transcending the Alzheimer's

Looking for a partner you have to picture whether this person can be there for you in the absolute worst of time. Can this person be there for you when you lose your parents? Miscarriage? Etc.

All things I completely agree with. I worked in forensic accounting for divorce clients for my last job and my manager talked about how it was sad that our job deals with people going through divorce and she's had rough patches with her husband but they never split. And that people really need to put more effort into their marriages (of course, some cases are inevitable). Sad that a lot of people hang up the cape too soon and don't work things out (e.g. proper sit downs about finances, helping each other overcome personal struggles, etc.)
