[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP you actually not that self aware.  What you don’t get is that you have an amazing marriage.  This is just what marriage is.  It’s generally boring. Spend some time on this board and read some of the crazy posts, you have it good.  You mistake be so draining to your wife. You ever think she feels trapped?  But women are way more responsible and don’t screw up their kids. I suggest you take up some intense excercise like crossfit or Marathon training to manage your depression.  And thank your lucky stars your wife hasn’t dropped your dead weight.[/quote]

I wouldn't have been this blunt, but I do agree.   I think our culture saturates us with the belief that we have to be incredible in every aspect of our lives.  Handsome, with a beautiful wife, great degree, amazing career, hugely successful kids, beautiful house, the most interesting vacations, and so on.

But one of the best things a psychologist ever said to me is that we should aim for just being content.  Being happy all the time is not sustainable..

There will be periods of happiness.   But mostly, just aim for being content.   [/quote]
