So, I’ve got another thread going on this board where I’m trying to decide what to do about the future of my marriage. This post is not about that! But I’ve read so many posts on here about awful men, and my husband is the only person I’ve been with. I’m scared that what I have now is just what a long term marriage looks like and I’m wishing for something that doesn’t actually exist. I don’t want to leave and find that there’s nothing better out there anyway.
So, to give me a taste of what a positive, well balanced and happy long term relationship looks like, can you tell me about yours, if you’re in one please?
Tell me anything you like but specifically I’m interested in:
Do you have plenty to talk about if you spent time alone together?
How would they act if you’d had a tough/tiring day (eg at work)?
Do you find yourself craving time apart from them?
Do you find your spare time is filled with things you do together, or separately, or a nice mix of both?
Do you worry about your relationship ending suddenly? (Eg if you argue, or do you worry about being cheated on)
I really have no idea what a happy, long term relationship looks like. And I really hope I’m getting a skewed perspective on here because if all other peoples relationships are like what I read on here then I’m better off staying put!
