Who feels this way?

I was married for 14 years. During our entire relationship we broke up once, and that was the day he moved out. I can honestly say we had a good marriage right up to the end. When the end came, it came fast and furious, much like most relationships start. We were each other's best friend until we allowed others to come between us. If I ever get married again, he will be my best friend, because like others said the passion can end.

I have not given up on the idea of marriage, but that doesn't mean I will ever do it again. Only time will tell.

I'm surprised, and pretty disappointed, at some of the cynicism here in this thread.

I for one, love being married, and love my husband VERY much. I'm glad that we are married, and glad that I waited to find one suitable to me. It is my hope that we are happily married old people wheeling each other through the retirement home some day, of course, that day will be sooner for Bob. :biggrin:

Now, he might have a differing opinion on our marriage and being married to me ....... :blushing:

I feel the same way I love my husband and our family and love being his wife.We dated for 8 years before we were married.

I feel the same way about my marriage, I couldn't be happier in life. I got a late start but I'm happy I got it right the first time around. Met hubby at 31, got married at 33, had little man at 35. But I'm glad I waited because I had an amazing career and know I can support myself if ever needed and I don't need to rely on anyone but me which is how my parents raised me. :smile:

I spent way too many years with the wrong person, stupidly got engaged and planned a whole wedding with a complete azzhole and almost ruined my life. Luckily I woke up and called it all off, moved out of NY and a year later I met my hubby and knew right away he was the one I was meant to be with. I think many people get married for the wrong reasons, or simply get married too young, and that's why many marriages fail. And I also believe that there is absolutely nothing wrong with never getting married if that's what makes someone happy.

I don't feel like I can properly answer this question as I am extremely bitter. :cheesy:

I probably sound bitter but it's merely being realistic. I appreciate every guy I've ever had a relationship with because they taught me what I do and don't want in my next victim.

I think you are being extremely realistic and I wholeheartedly agree. :yay:

It's true. I had a 3 long term relationships before I met my hubby and he had a really crappy marriage for 7 long years. I think we appreciate eachother so much more because of all we've been through in the past. If you're smart, you learn from past relationships that have failed. You realize what you did wrong and what you put up with that you shouldn't have put up with. By the time I met hubby, I knew what I wouldn't be bothered with and what I wouldn't live without.

Honestly, I'm surprised I ever found someone to spend my life with due to my attitude back then. I was kinda like, "my career is everything to me. This is me, take it or leave it. I won't deal with anyone's BS so if you're the type to play games, just move along now". Yeah, I was kind of a biotch but he wasn't used to an upfront, independant woman and he liked it. :lmao:

Huh.

Pair it with the heavy NY accent I used to have and yes, it sounded quite b*tchy. :lol: That was just a small example of the things I felt/said after wasting 6 years of my life with a putz who was still trying to make my life hell. I was jaded, big time. I told him, "one strike you're out. Do one thing to hurt me/piss me off even the slightest bit and I'll run". :ohwell:

I worked a lot, traveled a lot for work, had little time for dating, and generally just didn't trust anyone enough to open up emotionally until he proved he could be trusted. Can't believe he was patient enough to break down the walls and get me to trust him, took a while. I kinda thought I'd never get married and was ok with it.....until I met him.
