What does it actually mean to Van Zandt or whoever wrote it? Is it more complex than he was just kind of a chudy dude in his twenties who didn't really know what was going on? Or is that unfair? I'm sure some people still supported Nixon after the break in, but that just seems like such a weird take to toss into lyrics. I dunno was he like in a rightwing bubble or something?
Help me try to the social world that created that line.
I know this may not be a popular thing to admit, but I'm looking for honest advice.
I've been married to my wife for 19 years, and we have two kids together. I love her deeply and can't imagine my life without her. She's an amazing mother and partner, and our family means everything to me.
The problem is that over the years I've gradually lost my physical attraction to her. I don't say that to be cruel, and it isn't because of one specific thing. It's just how I've been feeling, and I'm struggling with what to do about it.
I still care about her, respect her, and want our marriage to work. I don't want to hurt her feelings or damage her self-esteem, but I also don't want to ignore how I feel and let resentment build.
Has anyone been through something similar? Is this something you talk about openly, or do you focus on rebuilding the connection in other ways? I'm looking for honest advice from people who have been in a long-term marriage.
