[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jesus Christ...does anyone in this town have a happy marriage?

I'm engaged. This page tells me we are eventually going to be unhappy and hate each other. My husband will cheat on me, I will be blamed for not putting out enough and spending too much time on our kids, and then, for financial reasons, we will stay together, in misery, for the rest of our lives, wishing we never met each other.

Yay.[/quote]

Most marriages have rough stretches.  The big question is whether you have the will to live through it and make it better.  But it takes two to work through it, and in many instances, swallowing some pride.  I think the problem in this town is too many prideful people unwilling to work with their spouse to find the underlying problems in their marriage (and admitting they themselves may be the source).[/quote]

Don't get me wrong, I'm fully aware that marriage isn't a joyride, it's hard work and takes time and commitment and periods of probably not liking each other. But it seems like a majority of people (not just on this board, where it seems to be a very high concentration, but families I know in real life) are living like roommates because they don't want to divorce, for the kids, or for money. They have to force themselves to have sex with their husband. And that's the good "unhappy" situations. At least those people can civilly co-exist and parent together. Then there are the couples that can't stand to be in the presence of their spouse and don't barely speak to each other.

It's just a depressing thing to hear/read about when you're planning a wedding and life together. I mean, we talk about this, how we are going to work hard to not be like "those" people. My parents were "those" people who are married and just kinda married because they've been together for 30+ years and don't know any different, and had a very rocky marriage for most of what I can remember.

But I highly doubt anyone married ever thought they'd end up unhappy, angry, miserable, and they all went in knowing marriage was hard, but thinking they'd work out.[/quote]
