Why don’t you go first?

Communication

It's also very soft sometimes

Marriage is hard if you don’t marry the right person.

We've been married 30-some years, I don't think marriage is hard. it's the best thing there is. it can be hard if you put yourself first.

Lack of communication, different priorities, unwilling to be vulnerable.

x10000 Life is short, OP. Finc someone that wants to understand you, and that actually cares about you - not just your paycheck.

Do you always put yourself last? For instance, if your spouse is gone for half the month and then spends their free time when they are back with their friends. Is that okay with you? Is that how you made it work?

I had a marriage that was hard because we were not well- suited. I’m now almost 20 years married to the greatest partner I could hope for and I would never ever call it hard. It’s easy when all the pieces fall into place. Maybe the timing was right.

Hmm. So you/your spouse never traveled. Did you have deadbeat in-laws nearby? If so, how did you handle that?

If you could elaborate on that, it would really be appreciated. It’s okay if you don’t want to.
