Semi light hearted thread not made to make people feel bad. Just curious how happy others genuinely are... some of my friends seem to have found such a perfect match it's unreal, surely all partners are annoying at times?!

I think mines pretty average/crap at times. Sometimes feel it's the beginning of the end. Other times we're happy. Married 8 years.
Based on a 1-10 scale , 1 being awful and 10 being perfect marriage I'd say we're a 5/6 what about you lot?

10 years together and it's 9/10. Both of us have irritating habits so I don't think it's possible to get 10/10. At some points, our relationship has dropped to 5/10 but a lot of people get times like that.

10 years together and married 5 this year. I'd say a solid 8/10. Only a couple of minor niggles which probably could be sorted if I broached the subject! Probably should do that really!

I'd say usually 9.5/10, he is a wonderful, wonderful man but lately feeling more like an 8 as my attraction to him has taken an inexplicable (probably hormonal) nose dive. Suppose that has peaks and troughs though, we've been together ten years, married, 2dc.

I don't know whether reading this thread makes me happy or sad! Been together 9 years, married 6.5, I'd give it a 5 I think.

Married 30 years this year, together 33 years, probably an 8 overall, although there are days we'd be in minus territory, on both sides Grin

First 18 years always an 8/9
Now in year 19 it's a 2, considering divorce, no third party involved.
Now with negotiations its rising and is about a 3/4 we will see.

28 years married and I think we are just about a big fat TEN.

I married a kind man, everything else flows from that.

Been together nearly 8 years, I'd say it's about an 8 at the moment. We've been through some stuff over the past few months but I think we're finally coming out of the other side and things are looking better for us.

Together 15 years, married 12 and I'd say overall we're a 7. Couple of fairly big areas of conflict and at the times they flare up that rating would be much lower but then we have other times where we're pretty close to a 10 so the 7 is a kind of overall average.

If you asked me 1 month ago I'd say 9
Now I'd say minus -10!!!

Been together 5 years, married 3years, DD 2.5 and bun in the oven... Most days 8... with the odd day where saying 1 would be generous (maybe 2 or 3 times a year)... Genuinely have a "I am so lucky to be this happy" moment at least once a day so much be pretty good :)

18 years together. I think about a 7/8 at the moment. I love him to bits and I know he feels the same, we just seem to be ground down to the arse end of ourselves by the time we have time for each other. It's on the mend though.

Together for 15 years, married for 12.

I'd give us a 9.5, he was my 1st real love and will be my last love. I genuinely can't remember the last time we had an argument Smile
