[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A ton. My grandma recently spilled the beans about all the cheaters in our family. Divorce wasn’t an option in the 60s, or it was super rare. Our family divorce rate is way lower than the national average, however the cheating rate is way above 50%.

I’m guessing [b]only 20% are actually happy and faithful[/b].[/quote]

NP here, I would have said the same - maybe 25% of marriages are truly happy and faithful. Half end in divorce and about half of the rest exist in some state of "not super happy with him/her but not so bad that it's worth destroying finances, disrupt the kids, etc"

To the person throwing exclamation marks, my guess is you are young. Wait till mid-40s and later and survey your close friends.[/quote]

Mid 40s is the bottom of the happiness curve.  The worst.

It climbs up again.

Long marriages have phases.  The problem with so many is they get out at first discord or they think it will always be like that.

I have so many people tell me how it got wonderful again as kids grew up and left and they had more time again.  The key is getting through the lie times without blowing everything up and losing all connection.

If you had role models that would have told you this 20 years ago, before walking down the aisle.  It’s not a fairy tale where you say I do and it’s always sunshine and unicorns.  [/quote]
