Seabreeze suggested that this analogy should have its own thread. I agree...
" It's like getting married then telling your spouse we'll be living in a car"....I just LOVE this analogy!! This should have it's own thread! What you expect compared to what you get. Immagine the scene,the excitement and the young couple getting their new home ready. Together they lovingly put so much effort in. She goes all out to please him with her ideas and her enthusiasm. He joins her with his input and they share their hopes and dreams. The wedding day happens.. their dream is about to be realised, then one turns and says " well actually.. I'm not interested in our dream home. I sold it. We'll be living in the car". Could be the wedding night or years down the line. The more years spent before they sell out, the more has been invested emotionally and financially in that 'dream home' one of them ( or in some cases both to begin with) thought would be for life.
I think this is a very appropriate analogy. The image of a young couple looking at the new home, buying furniture for the home, imagining how wonderful it will be in the new home. Then right after the wedding, they are driving off in a limo & the driver turns the wrong way. The bride asks why they are not heading to the beautiful new house when her new husband says, "Well, I decided that I really don't want a house, so I sold it. Instead, we will be living in my 1971 Green Impala with black vinyl seats. I know that will be fine with since you love me so much."
I am going to write a blog article with this theme.
