Is anyone happily married??

Threebabes

Ive been with my other half nearly 20 year, met when we 19, got together at 20. I am very happy with him, yes he gets on my nerves sometimes and vice versa, but I love him to pieces.

Yes, extremely happy, he is my best friend, my soulmate and makes me deliriously happy. Together 12 years in a couple of weeks and I wouldn't change it for the world. We have our ups and downs, but I know I am always his priority. We got together very young and although people didnt think we would make it, here we are 12 years down the line, got married 3 years ago and it was the best thing I did.

I've been happily married for nearly 18 years.

I can't see myself ever being happily married. I'm not even close to marriage at the moment but as much as I like having someone who cares around, I also just like having loads of free time for myself and I know I'd struggle to have that. My last relationship broke me basically and that was over two years ago now. Had a few ups and downs and haven't been bothered for the last year now. I should probably start my own thread on it but putting so much personal information here would just be too much and wouldn't be comfortable with that.

I don't think everyone should have "being in a long term relationship" as an ambition. Some people are better suited to the single life. It's more important to be true to yourself than to try to fit in with general expectations.

Absolutely ~ and there are lots of different kinds of relationships/marriages too, its not a one~size~fits~all deal.

The problem then comes when the woman you're seeing wants the conventional.

In that case, you're not right for each other.
