[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m curious to hear from people in happy relationships: what do you think it is about yourself/your spouse/your marriage that makes it work? What traits did you select for?[/quote] I was older and more mature (almost 30) and so was he. We were friends at first (briefly, before moving to dating). He is much more mellow and laid back than my explosive father and that was important. For us, while it's not always perfect, we compromise. We apologize when wrong. And have similar values (socially, politically, ethically, etc.). We try not to hold grudges or resentments (this is harder for me as I grew up in a dysfunctional family where there was a lot of emotional abuse). And we communicate and are completely transparent about everything. [/quote]
