[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Are couples like my husband and I not as "strong" because we've never done these types of things to one another? That's what these woman intentionally or unintentionally insinuate and I find it irritating - and I can't help but feel it's to make up for insecurity.[/quote]

You're really posting about different things.  Your friends aren't likely making insinuations about the strength of your relationship with your DH.  I don't know why you feel they are. They're reflecting on their own relationships.  If you're tired of hearing about their relationship, well, that's a different issue.

My DH and I haven't had issues of infidelity, jail or abuse but we have had significant struggles - kids with SN, health crises, depression, etc.  None of it was caused by our own stupidity or poor decision making.  Sometimes bad things happen to good people.  I understand why any single one of those issues could strain a marriage to the breaking point.  I have a lot more sympathy for people whose marriages don't survive them.  I've got a much different perspective and appreciation than you seem to have.

Please see my original post:
I have a few friends that have have rocky relationships and I am so tired of hearing them talk about how their relationships are so much stronger because they've gone through x and y with their husbands. [b]I'm not talking about things out of our control like a lay off or infertility but stupid decisions their husbands have made[/b] in the past - like going to jail, drinking, cheating. [/quote]
