every single american on 90 day fiance: I'm really concerned because my partner isn't acting like themselves. It definitely has nothing to do with how they just left their family, friends, and entire life behind and then took a 30 hour plane ride to move to a country where they barely speak the language and my entire family (which are all strangers to them) greeted them at the airport and started asking them 1000000 questions about their intentions and also implied they only want to get married for a green card and I'm just REALLY CONCERNED because they just want to go to bed and they DON'T WANT TO FUCK ME RIGHT AWAY????? >:(

"if i was orpheus i would simply not turn around" yes you would. if you were orpheus and you loved eurydice, you would. to love someone is to turn around. to love someone is to look at them. whichever version of the myth — he hears her stumble, he can't hear her at all, he thinks he's been tricked — he turns around because he loves her. that's why it's a tragedy. because he loves her enough to save her. because he loves her so much he can't save her. because he will always, always turn around.
