[quote=Anonymous]Because you have to become comfortable with yourself - you are in it for the long haul - you can't just focus on yourself and flee when something gets tough.

It's easier to keep up good impressions, even to yourself, when you aren't close with someone, daily, nightly, through years, children, health issues, etc.

I am amazed that I am loved by my husband even after my own failings, becoming much more unattractive (In my eyes, anyway, what with having 3 kids, now falling into the obesity range, sleeping with a g-d CPAP machine, etc...) and my husband and I still love each other, manage to have a love life, etc

Different sides of the same coin, I guess. But for me one of the hardest things has been to just be alright with myself in all my failings, letting myself really be seen, instead of being at a distance, giving up/moving on to someone or something different really just to deny myself to be me ...

Maybe a bit of a philosophical answer, but that's my response for why marriage is hard![/quote]
