[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are happily or decently married what are some red flags you overlooked in your spouse while dating? How old were the two of you?[/quote]

His sex drive was lower than mine, and he didn't like celebrating holidays. The second one isn't really a red flag that would have kept me from marrying him, but did lead to arguments at holidays every year. [/quote]

Same here. If I don’t push certain things, even inviting over friends and family or traveling, the kids wouldn’t have much exposure to holidays and we’d be going stir crazy while he sits in his dark man cave rewatching his favorite movies. I saw an orange flag while we were dating but did not understand how difficult it would become once we had kids.

Another red flag I did not pay attention to- self-centeredness, which ties into the issue with holidays. Unless something personally interests him, I have to make it happen. The kids would not participate in any activities if it weren’t for me signing them up and taking them there. It’s an uphill battle. If I don’t remind him that our kids have music lessons at 5 or baseball practice on Saturday morning, they’d miss their activities. He doesn’t give a  $&@![/quote]
