My opinions on this show seem to be literally the opposite of everyone else's.

I'm not saying Midge is a good person. Neither of them is. Susie isn't, and Midge isn't.

But...

Midge is funny, stylish, passionate, interesting, and sociable. She might be spoiled, but she holds herself to an insanely high standard and somehow manages to live up to it. Her life was perfect. She had everything, she was an amazing wife, and she supported her husband's hobby even though he was terrible at it. Then Joel ruined it all on a whim, yet she still managed to make everything work.

Meanwhile, Susie just gambles, swears, and bothers everyone around her. She's loud, rude, and honestly I'd hate being anywhere near her.

Tell me, darling, what is love?

​

It felt light then, like a shove. Now it sits there in my chest, feeling like a simple jest. You took some; I have the rest...

​

I can feel it when I can't swallow, when my chest is feeling hollow, when I have you on my mind, lying in bed on my side, wishing you were next to me.

​

I keep wishing you'd come back. Even a captain stays on

deck when he knows his ship will sink. I still hope that, if I

blink, you might open the door and I'll see you once more.

​

But what is hope for?

​

What am I waiting for?

​

I've read books and I've read stories. Now they carry all my worries about you and about me, about what we're meant to be...

​

Stories lie, and so have you.

​

Back then love felt fresh and new. It smelled of roses

that you brought when I thought you knew that love was

me and you, not separate but together, not changing with

the weather.

​

Stable.

Deep.

Lasting.

​

But maybe I was wrong, and with me every song that told

me you'd forever hold me.

​

Now I just want to know, so tell me:

​

What is love?

One day, you'll open your eyes in a home I never visited, surrounded by things you bought after me. You'll make a bed I never slept in and make breakfast in a kitchen where I never ate. You'll go to a job I never knew you had, and I won't even cross your mind. You'll come home to someone who isn't me, and you'll be happy.

Maybe by then I won't care.

But what if I do?

What if, on that very same day, I wake up in the room where we kissed for the last time, in the bed where we lay together, surrounded by all the little things you gave me, still wearing your old T-shirt?

What if I make breakfast using a recipe you taught me?

What if I still believe that you'll come back?

What if you changed me so much that I can't change anymore?

What if I'm stuck loving you forever?

Hi everyone. I have a suspicion that I might have been the rebound, and I just want to be sure.

My ex and I met online on a pen pal app about four months after his breakup. We were sending letters for around three months, then we started texting and eventually after two months of texting we met up in person.

We started dating a month after meeting in person. So by

the time we actually started dating, nine months had

passed since his breakup.

We dated for about eight months, and then he suddenly

broke up with me and got back together with his ex three

weeks later. His ex had also gotten out of a relationship

around the same time as our breakup. I don't know who

reached out to whom tho. So either I was just a

meaningless rebound, or they are both rebounding right

now... so which is it?
