How much of the time are you happy?

[Cookie105]

Just curious how much of the time are you happy in your relationships?

98% , married 35 yrs

I'm not. I would leave if I could afford to.

100%- he is the best thing to ever happen to me.

95% off the time. I'm not unhappy as such the other 5% probably just irritated (want more alone time, want to go out on more dates, want him to do more housework etc😂)

With the relationship in general? 90-99% of the time. My husband has a habit of defensiveness and I have a habit of being quick to criticise which makes our disagreements a bit clumsier than I'd like, but on the whole I adore my husband and we have a great marriage.

(Together 10yrs, married 3, 2 children aged 23mths and 2mths).

99%- together 24yrs, married 15yrs, no living children, but a 3yr old dog.

The 1% I'm not happy is when I'm pre-menstrual and grumpy. Day to day things that DH does seems to grate on me at that time- otherwise, no unhappiness at all!

Most of the time. And when I'm not it's not really his fault, more just circumstances that neither of us can help.

>95% of the time. Together 10 years 2 small children. We can have arguments from time to time but at the end of the day there's no one we'd rather be with.

99%

I'd say probably 80% of the time. There's tension sometimes in the way we parent, and he's a drinker which come with its own set of issues.

But in general we are solid, I love him, fancy him, I know he loves me and he makes me laugh every day.

99.9% of the time. The 0.1% is mild exasperation, not unhappiness.

That’s a hard one to answer actually. I’m always happy with my husband, he’s truly a fantastic man, but he works a lot (like a lot a lot!) and that brings a degree of upset and frustration at times. Ultimately though I’d never describe our relationship as anything but a happy one!

99% have an awesome husband who's my best friend and we laugh and talk and love each others company

We are very very similar in our thought process and practicalities.

The 1% I'm not happy is normally when I'm premenstrual (also in peri) and work shit has gotten to me and his chilled manner will irritate me

Same here. 100%. He probably would too

And you?

Almost always, together 30, married for 26

100%. Single.

99.9%. The other 0.1% is the rare occasion he’s had a drink and he snores.

Do you like it that way or would you rather be in a relationship?

I think it depends what you mean.

We're not bouncy through life, holding hands and skipping down the road, because that's not really what life's about.
Of course he can do irritating things sometimes, as can I, so if you mean 'over the course of an average week are there any times you are irritable with one another?' - my answer is yes, of course.
But at the same time you were to ask me 'are in you a happy marriage?' then I'd say yes. So, looking at the bigger picture, I'm happy all the time. Dissecting the miniscule day to day irritations however, there can be several times a week when one of us is grumpy or tired, or worried about something, or just generally tetchy for all sorts of outside reasons.

The older I get, and the longer I am single for, the less I want to be in a relationship. Ever.

My order would probably be -

1. Fabulously perfect man who totally got me and was brilliant in every way
2. Single
3. In a relationship with any other man other than 1.

1 doesn't actually exist, so 2.

99% of the time, we're literally best friends.

The 1% it's not perfect (and even then, I love him and the longest we argue is maybe 30 mins?) we are both irritated by external factors that have nothing to do with each other like work, family, realising we ate the nice snacks already etc. and it's short lived once we're cuddling under a blanket!

98% of the time. I love being with my partner, we work well together and bring out the best in each other

100%. Single and I love it. I was married for over 30 years.
My relationships are my children and my own family and my friends. It’s perfect.

This is a tricky one really. I couldn't give a percentage. This past year has really tested our relationship, however, we really love each other, make each other laugh, absolutely adore our daughter. I just hope we can continue to work on things and be happier in the future. We are mostly happy, don't get me wrong, but it's not easy having a baby and dealing with some issues from both sides. Sometimes we don't get enough quality time either. I'm hoping it gets easier over time
