After seeing Blue Valentine (lol you see where this is going) I got into a heated debate with my boyfriend about whether love is enough for a relationship and if we believed in soulmates — hoooo boy were neither of us prepared for the stark differences of opinion we had on these matters!
What movie has had the most impact on your actual literal life? Not necessarily your favorite, but the one that’s most influenced or shaped something in your trajectory?
That convo genuinely was a real turning point in our 2 year relationship at the time, and the fallout was months long and full of angst.
Epilogue: we’ve been happily married for 12 years. No, I still don’t believe in soulmates. Yes, he still insists he is mine. We still haven’t rewatched the film.
