Is anyone truly happy with their marriage?

Yes for instance my soon to be wife had a HORRIBLE day yesterday, so what did I do to make it better you wonder?


Let me tell you, wait let me show you!


Notice her expression at the end


She is smiling

I was wearing a clown mask just didnt show it

 

this. not married but me and my gf have been together for 3 years. my parents arent divorced, so i was raised with the idea that "just ending it" is not the solution. not to mention i love this girl more than anything. unconditional love. doesnt matter what she says or does, im here. That being said i wont let her get away with "anything". We've had our bumpy sections and weve always gotten through it. we've been living together....since 3 months after we first started dating. she just started sleeping over and never stopped. finally got our own place in november. now all of a sudden, she wants to be single again. weve got a really good thing going. we got a nice place, a nice dog, everything is figured out. weve gone far enough to think about kids and getting married(not gonna hapen for at least 5 years). and she springs this on me. she has been with a fair amount of other dudes before me, so youd think she would have her shit figured out. But i think she wants to get around more. she has a new friend who is a total whore, has 3 dudes on the go(one being a boyfriend). obviously not a good influence on her. and she got a job at a gym so she hangin out with muscle dummies all day. im not jealous, i trusted her. but now that this has been going down, ive lost all my trust.

holy shit this is not the right thread for this. but i had to tell someone. we've been split for a week and havent told a soul.

 

all sorts of awesome.

 

Making each other laugh is important.

Somehow I can make her laugh her ass off after 25 years, we laugh a lot.

The sound of the vacuum cleaner is her biggest turn-on. If i've been a dick out comes the vacuum cleaner and I am forgiven. Or the sound of a scrub brush in the toilet, or clean dishes going into the cupboard can turn into romance.

 

I am happily married, most of the time. There will always be issues that have to be worked through. Unfortunately the little things that bug you before you are married, but you accept because you are in love, becomes big issues after marriage if you do not work on it. The biggest thing to remember is that you are not going to get rid of the issues by trying to get her to change. She is not going to change if it is a personality thing. The only way to get through it is to make peace with the issue. You have to communicate this with her though and tell her that you are working on it so she can understand if you get grumpy about things. Remember that when you get irritated by something she does, there is sure as hell things that you do that irritates her.
If you work at it and are willing to accept that nobody is perfect, then you should be okay.

 

You need to be able to respect your wife. if you don't, then it wont last. My wife has a huge brain, I love a challenge!

 

Marriage like life has it's ups and downs and how you handle it provides the results. As people grow older their attitudes about things usually change. Having kids will change you. Communications is a very important part of marriage. Sex will become less and less over time for most. Getting to know each other before marriage is good because 99% of people do not change the things they do just because they got married. If the other spouse does something that bugs you before they'll do after as well. I think lots of things maker for a long marriage and include communications, love, actually liking the person you are with, being able to forgive and sometimes forget and I'm not necessarily talking about someone who is unfaithful or who is abusive. Money will always play an important part and how you handle your money issues. I will have been married 43 years in March we are both retired and I am happy and I think she is too.

 

Laughter is the best medicine

 

Yes, I am happy. Sure we have our ups and downs and sideways, but I have no idea what I would do without her or my children. Wont lie, the first year was the worst, but im glad I am married to her. She puts up with alot of crap.
my advise to you would be trying different positions in bed...maybe that will put some spunk in the old marriage?!

 

Also you have to know when enough is enough
Definition of insanity

Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results

 

I am truly happy in my marriage. We have gone through some flat times, but communication is the key like others have said. Also, the person you marry should also be your best friend.

 

Yeah I'm happy. It can't be sunshine and lollypops all day and every day.

 

Shoot me an my better half fought a trex a unicorn and 99 problems! We even had sex once!

We also raced go carts and I put her into the wall because she said no head if you win!

 

I'm not married, but I'm going to remember this advice right here!

 

I've been married about a year but have been with this women for 8 years straight...does she annoy me and piss me off?? FUCK YES she does. But I couldn't imagine my life without her...we're no saints either bud...I'm sure she feels the same way about you sometimes! Communication is the key here I believe


Goodluck!

 

Been married 7 times. Was happy most of the time, as long as she didn't throw money away and didn't have side action going on. Hated "girls night out". Especially with lots of cleavage showing and her whorey single gal friends. More than just a couple drinks, right ? Anyway people, I bailed on all of em'. Who needs misery, life's too short. I've noticed over the years too many wimpy dudes married to "Mama" and very happy in that setting. Kinda like Mama's the boss, says when hubby can have some (muff), makes all the decisions, puts hubby on the couch when he's misbehaving, tells him when to be home from the bar, and is usually some fat lardo with a high pitch whiney voice. OK, Dudes, since I'm free as a bird, I'm outta' here. No one to answer to, right ?

 

I've been married for 42 years. I'm I happy with my marriage, Yes. But I'm still trying to make better.

 

"My wife has a huge brain, I love a challenge!" .............thats classic. That should be on a t-shirt.

 

I've been married just over 10 years. I'm no expert, but I am truely happy. Communication is very important and when there is an issue no matter how small it needs to be discussed or it will be a big deal later. With communication, you also need trust. I deploy...a lot. Lots of things happen on deployments and the rumors spread. I don't give her a reason to worry so she dosen't care if I go to a strip club a few countries away...not saying I do that...often. Likewise, if she goes to a club I'm not stressing, she is still with me at the end of the and has given me no reason to question her. Respect is high on my list too. We treat each other as equals and anything that is important to one of us is important to both. The each give 50% rule IMO is crap. You need to both give 100% because sometimes you have a bad day and she picks up the slack and Vise Versa. If you can prevent a fight with a talk life is good. and try not to go to bed angry. Resolve a problem when it appears. Don't sleep on it. This works for me and mine, and I couldn't be happier. Good times and hard times are all still good and I wouldn't change a thing.
