After I Do: A Novel
Similarly, After I Do aptly depicts many of the mundane β and often ugliest β aspects of life that eventually result in couples falling out of love. Itβs an easy read that makes you almost forget all the drama and focus on what resonates with you. Oh, believe me, their fights are so realistic.
As the novelβs wise column advisor puts it: the sun will continue to rise no matter what happens in the world. Knowing that youβll make it to another day isnβt a good enough judgment call for whether you should keep doing what you do.
Simply put, being able to do something doesnβt necessarily mean you enjoy it.
Love isnβt all champagne and bubbles. Life goes on with bills to pay and no magic pill to swallow. And unless youβre brutally honest with yourself and the other person, somewhere along the way, resentment will build. Small triggers turn into full-blown arguments when you least expect them. Days when you start questioning your sanity to put up with all this.
But thatβs life. The important thing is to figure out whether you care enough to carry on, to keep giving it your best, and if you doβ¦ you stay committed. Thatβs really all there is.
