[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Married 10 years. Dated 5 years before getting married and lived together for 4 years, though we were actually engaged after just one year cohabitating and then had an economic emergency and postponed until we could be in a more stable place financially and could afford a proper wedding. Everyone thought we were putting it off because of cold feet! Instead we were just really in sync and basically already made the commitment to each other, just wanted to be able to afford a bigger party and a real honeymoon, and wanted to have already purchased a home together before doing that.

No real surprises. I have been mildly frustrated with DH's tendency to check out a bit as a parent (not totally checked out, he's probably more involved than average, but less than I'd like). However, if I look back, this isn't a surprise as he has always had some tendency to avoid when uncomfortable. I think he was probably a little surprised of how much I ask of him emotionally since having kids, but ultimately I think that's been good for us. Overall very happy and I think our relationship has made us better people. Impossible to imagine being with someone else at this point.[/quote]
