  • Using the imaginary setting I’ve created in my mind based on the information presented in your comment, I’d say the invitation has two main support beams holding it up, eventual marriage and becoming a doctor.

    This would be an investment into your future as a couple and their possible grandchildren. So my advice would be to not take it for granted.

    The pressure to perform well in both professional pursuits and familial has broken many. And the closer you’ll get to a deadline, the higher the tension you’ll suffer. As such, the support has to be mutual.

    If you go in, go in as a family member. Participate, help out. Do not detach from them. This will help redistribute the mounting pressure.

    If you stay out, do not isolate yourself. You’ll end up dumping your frustrations on your partner and spiral downward towards self-defeat.

    The years ahead will be quite complicated. But if you stay true to your passion, something will come out of it even if it won’t be what you expect.

    Good luck, regardless of your choice.

    It feels like you just wanna argue for arguing’s sake.

    The condom isn’t perfect and shouldn’t be treated as such. As good as it may be, it’s not a panacea.

    And when it comes to sexual experimentation, depending on a thin piece of plastic to protect you from everything you might want to try is quite unrealistic.

    Neutered justice doesn’t give out the same high as reckless vengeance.

    It’s like “yay, we punished the billionaires by taking away their unreasonably hoarded wealth and are going to responsibly redistribute it to the programs that need it most. Though the difficulty of equity and logistics are going to be a pain on the ass to whoever has to deal with it, we are happy knowing it’s the right thing to do.” Vs “yay, we shot the billionaires so let’s get drunk and par-tay! And if tomorrow sucks, we’ll shot it too! Fk yeah!”

    In-the-moment has a higher priority than long-term hardwork and dedication because it’s actual, tangible rewards vs potential, imaginary rewards.
