To ask how many of you are actually happily married

[Strugglingtocopewithmarriage]

Meaning you genuinely like your partner, would marry then again given the chance, enjoy spending time with them...

100% I would. He's my absolute soul mate and rock. Does he get on my wick sometimes? Sure. I get on his too! But we communicate and never go to bed on a row. We never pass each other without a small touch or a kiss. 7 years strong and I couldn't imagine my life without him on my DSC. I miss him when I work nights and he messages to say he's missing me too.

Very happy, married 26 yrs. I am very grateful as I got even more than I realized as he is so hard working and will do anything that needs to be done asap. When I married in my 20s I didn't realize how important that is for long term happiness. We laugh a lot and complement each other each day and that goes a long way.

Me! Most beautiful man I've ever met inside and out

Me. Silly man.

I am, married 9 years together nearly 20, he's my best friend as well as my husband (and excellent Dad to our son) and I genuinely can't imagine spending the rest of my life with anyone else. That doesn't mean that we've never taken each other for granted before though and sometimes have had to made a concerted effort to add passion back into our relationship. Xx

I hope you're okay OP, how do you feel. X

Oh our kids are 21, 19 & 16. DH looked after me during cancer which I have completely recovered from. He is my (sexy) best friend.

Yes.i adore my husband. Married 17 years and together 20.

Married 3 years together nearly 9, he is honestly everything to me no matter how much we may bug each other. He is an amazing father, friend and partner.

I was until he died in 2011. I miss him every day.

🙋

Absolutely. Love his bones, and i’d definitely marry him again. Together 14 years (I think?). Would marry him again tomorrow! We’re friends, we still fancy each other and we have a great relationship in every sense and plenty of excitement/passion. We’ve had to cope with some really shitty circumstances outside of our relationship so it’s not always been smooth sailing, but we love each other deeply. He’s a great man.

I haven’t RTFT so if you're asking because you’re not in a happy marriage, I’m sorry and I hope you can find a way to make things better for yourself. 🌷

Yes - happily married. A second marriage for both of us, 20 years so far. He did A LOT when our children were babies, and ALL of the work concerning his kids from his previous marriage when they were at our house (EOW and half the holidays).
We can really count on each other but have our own jobs that we enjoy ( e.g. he likes cooking, I like doing laundry)
I'm sorry your DH doesn't do his bit. What would happen if you stopped doing everything, would he step up?
If no, then you don't have to put up with it, you know.

I wouldn’t marry now, no.

Me ✋

Me. I met him 21 years ago, married 16 years. Two kids, he supports me in everything I want to do and he is an amazing father. I would marry him time and time again but he hated the wedding the first time around (nerves) so I may just stick with the once

Married 22 years together 26 and I would say I do every day to him.

He makes me laugh, makes me happy, holds me tight when I’m sad, supports me, goes above and beyond, is an amazing husband and dad. Family first everytime for him.

we make an amazing team.

Me

God, it's like Steve Wright Sunday Love Songs on here.

Yep. He's the best.

Absolutely me.

Me. 17 years together, 15 married, mates for 29 years. Ups and downs like everyone, but I can't imagine life without him and I love hanging out with him. We're proper mates as well as husband and wife and are absolutely loyal to each other in every way. He's the most giving, hardworking, generous man I know and has made my life infinitely better. Sometimes he's a bit of a twat but so am I 🤣.

Me completely, who wouldn’t want to marry a man who laughed when you said a horse looked like Phil Oakley from The Human League and then proceeded to sing Don't you want me baby to you on the canal tow path. This was yesterday been together almost 25 years. Was a friend for 2 years before that.

Can I ask why you’re still with him if you’re not happy?

More mixed for me. There are times when it is good. But he never arranges anything (no holidays, days out or surprises or gifts in nearly 30 years). By default I have to make all the decisions and I do most of the cooking and housework. I have had discussions many times but this leads to rows, denial and repeated allegations that I am controlling. I have tried doing nothing, but then nothing happens. I am also the only one who works. If I had known what I know now I would not have married. However, it is now too late for me.

Me, 20 plus years and happier than ever. He's my other half. Still makes me laugh. We have the same values. Great sex. We both wonder why the other one puts up with us. He's fundamentally a decent person.
