[quote=Anonymous]I have been married for 11 years and I have found that if you compare your husband to other men who do this or that you will be very unhappy.

No marriage is like yours and you don’t have to worry about what other people are doing.

DH and I do not exchange gifts or romantic words at all, we don’t go on dates, he definitely would not call me his bride in public, we sleep in separate rooms (he snores!), we don’t have sex often, neither of us makes that much money, we’re both overweight, he frequently panics and yells at everyone, and yesterday he told me that I read too many books and it’s not making me any smarter (we don’t even have that in common!).

This sounds absolutely terrible and not many people would accept this state of affairs.  Early in my marriage I wondered what I was thinking marrying him.  But we’re happy.  For real.  We laugh with each other and are affectionate all day.  He makes me my coffee in the morning.   I am happy when he comes home because I want to hear about his day.  We have been through every terrible thing together, illness of our child, job loss, etc.  We don’t fight about money or stress out.  Sometimes you just need to accept your marriage for what it is- a person that you chose as your partner.  He doesn’t need to be all things at all times and once you accept that you can be happy.[/quote]
