[quote=Anonymous]Started dating when I was 19 and DH was 17 (we were freshmen in college). Got married 10 years later and just celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary a few weeks ago - in a few more weeks it will be 20 years since our first date and we’ve now been together longer than not, which is nutty to think. Our kids are 14 months and 5 and a half years so it’s exhausting.

The exhaustion of young kids combined with some career dissatisfaction just makes things be less ideal than they could be. I also think about how I wish I’d known better how  challenging our relationships with each other’s parents would be. But I still snort with laughter on a regular basis and mostly feel we resolve disagreements well. I imagine things could be better and could be worse. He’s a generous lover and a very doting father so that goes a long way.

I’m really glad I had 6-7 years after college (including 2 long distance) when I had roommates, got my masters degree, bought my condo and just generally got to grow up a bit. He says the thing he wishes were different is that our strengths and weaknesses are similar and it would be useful if we complemented each other. For instance, neither of us is much good at organizing. [/quote]
