Things are too easy going at the moment - what's the catch ?

Marriage is in the best place it's been in a very long time. We've both drifted a little in years gone by
Sex is amazing after a long stale period
Financially we are the best we have been in a long time
My friends have shown they truly care about me. I never realised just how much and how very fortunate I am to have certain friends.
Some pressures I had have been lifted. I never realised the true pressure until it was gone.
We've got a months holiday abroad booked for Aug. I was lucky to get the time off work.

What's the catch ? there has to be a catch.

OP I feel exactly the same. I really struggle to feel relaxed/settled in my life because I’m constantly wondering what’s round the corner.

I just married my DH after 15 years together. It was an amazing day and we have been so loved up again since (inc sex!) although tbh we are always loved up.

We had second Dc last year after 5 years of trying and 3 MCs

DH doing well at work so I was able to quit my awful horrible
job to stay at home with the baby for a bit longer.

We’ve just got back from a fortnight abroad for a family holiday/honeymoon and have a little caravan break booked for next month which I’m looking forward to.

Touch wood, we are all happy and healthy.

Whenever I feel maudlin and suspicious of these current set of circumstances, DH reminds me we spent our entire 20s absolutely skint, working ourselves to the bone just to pay nursery and the house. Every single penny was accounted for and we often had to do a food shop on the credit card. The toll the TTC and MCs took on me nearly led to an emotional breakdown, as did my previous job. So perhaps we have had our fair share of shit, and now we can be happy for a while.

Enjoy OP! I know what you mean, I had a similar experience a few years ago. Like I was blessed with a few consecutive miracles, yet i felt some great tragedy was about to happen. It's pay back for the crappy times and something to get you through the next crappy spell. Reconnecting with your DH is probably partly due to other stresses lifting and because you coped well. To have good friends you must be a good friend so you are on some level very deserving of this good luck.
