Watched Revolutionary Road again, great movie. I should read the book. It basically highlights that the worst thing you can do to love is turn it into a couple: turn your lover into a domesticated partner, and everything goes to hell.
Every couple in that movie is unhappy, exhausted by each other. The only free person is the one they all call crazy. And in the end, April sets herself, and her unborn child free.
That’s probably the reality for most couples, going to bed wishing they were with someone else, or just alone. I should reread Oscar Wilde’s thoughts on this, he writes it so much better than I do.
