Just that really. I've been reading the book 'Happily Ever After' and the author argues that people are pretty much as happy married as they are single ie if you're unhappy while single you won't find marriage will be that magic ticket to happiness either, and that if you're content single you will also be content married.
I've been thinking about this a lot and think that I'm probably the same now in terms of happiness than I was before I met DH, but have also had phases in our marriage when things haven't gone well and I have been much LESS happy, and that due to my anxious attachment style I was certainly less happy when I first fell for him - I was probably happier when I wasn't interested in anyone than when we first got together and I was always anxious/waiting for messages etc.
I just wondered what other people thought?
