None of married friends seem happy but I don't think they have ever been cheated on. They all married pretty great, educated girls too and despite that, their lives just are so depressing.

It's always interesting to me to hear all these guys on the ot say how happy thier marriages are, when I've just never met any men who feel that way irl.

Our society creates unrealistic expectations about what marriage is and should be. That one size fits all belief creates havoc in the real world.

My marriage is good.

Not the best but good.

We definitely have to work at it, though. A lot of my friends with failed marriages happened because one or both were too lazy to work out problems until one day one or both said screw it and split.

I always see single people say this as if they know exactly how someone's marriage is behind the scenes or that they can read body language exactly. In most cases it's pure projection. You don't see yourself being happy in a marriage, ergo you think everyone in a marriage is unhappy.
