[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I overheard my husband tell this to a girl in his office about to marry.

" you will not know true love until you have been married as long as we have. That giddy butterfly feeling is not love. Love like ours is so deep words cannot explain it. I feel we are one person. "

[/quote]

Well, then.  Your husband is a pompous ass[/quote]
And codependent [/quote]

I can't believe that people would feel the need to make rude comments when someone had taken the trouble to share something meaningful from their life. If it didn't speak to you, why not just move on?

I've started reading Gottman (The Science of Trust: Emotional Attunement for Couples) as often recommended on this board, and there is a section on "We-ness" Versus "Me-ness." The use of we-ness words like we, our, and us was compared to the use of me-ness words like I, me, mine. And the finding was that the more people used the we-ness words, the happier their relationship was.

So the PP's husband's statement does reflect a very happy relationship. Thank you for posting, PP! [/quote]
Well he kind of pissed on the other girl's love story[/quote]
