[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are all these happy marriages you folks are seeing and wishing for?  I literally can't think of a single married couple I know where I think both partners got a good deal.[/quote]

Curious, how old are you and what's your crowd is like?  [/quote]

I'm 43, white, female, professional, graduate degree, liberal.  My friend group is largely the same.  HHIs around 250k-400k.

Most of my female friends treats their husbands like crap, bossing/belittling/yelling at them in public, mostly fueled by their anxiety but, regardless, I wouldn't tolerate being treated so unkindly.  I only have one female friend who doesn't see sex as a chore, but she's into the poly/kink scene, so an outlier.  A couple of the husbands are cheaters or have wandering eyes.  A couple are useless man-children -- under- or unemployed but also zero help with the children or domestic stuff.  Several of both sexes are plagued by mental health issues (anxiety, ADHD, bipolar) that make living with them hard.  Yeah.  It's kinda depressing.[/quote]
