My eyes have been opened recently to the (potential) relationship issues for someone who is an only.

Or just a different dynamic.

I think an only + only getting married could be great.

More important to just be aware. That's half the battle. [/quote]

I agree with the last line above.  I'm one of six married to an only child.  It makes life interesting at times, especially now that we have kids.  As far as parenting goes, DH is a great dad to DS and DD, although he and his parents (annoyingly so) get overly worried about normal sibling squabbles simply because they aren't familiar with it.  
Now in the spouse department, I've noticed some small negatives that I do attribute to his upbringing as an only child with a mom who catered to him.  He is a wonderful DH but I have to point out things that I would have thought would be more obvious.  A few friends noticed this initially too.  That being said, he is simply wonderful, especially compared with my ex, who had a sibling.  No comparison really.[/quote]
