[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A sense of humor. Empathy. The ability to say you're sorry.

Also, don't doubt that your friend is just good at picking the right people for her. [b]My best friend is in a happy marriage but I'd never want to be married to her husband[/b]. [/quote]

[b]The people I know in (outwardly at least) happy marriages really appreciate each other’s strengths.  I think there was even research that showed that when couples are like that, both partners make the effort to be better people and it’s a positive feedback loop.[/b]

But often when I meet men in those marriages I realize I wouldn’t be the one who appreciates him.  😂🤣😂

Weirdly, on the rare occasion I meet a guy who is very attractive and kind, their wives often seem kind of over them.[/quote]

I'm the PP and I think this is probably true. My husband and I are aware of each other strengths and weaknesses and we do appreciate the strengths and work to balance out the weaknesses. But yeah, not everyone is a match. I can appreciate that I can be a lot and my husband is a very good complement to my personality, and vice versa.

As for those other men, I have a lot of male friends, but everyone is more annoying when you have to spend a lot of time with them. So while I can appreciate those men as friends, I'm sure they could be a lot to be married to. [/quote]
