all the people here and the dudley do-right perspective of "marriage is a lot of work, BUT....!" this allows people to justify feeling good about staying in loveless marriages.

Pretty happy for sure.
Married 43 years this August to Mrs. M.
Kids all happily married to wonderful spouses, the kind you pray they’ll meet and marry.
Grandkids.
Great church.

Ive been with some awesome ladies, They had one problem in common. Me.
Life is very good, as long as I can stay out of my own way.

I prayed to God. "Please send me a good, Christian woman to spend my life with." Eight years after my last divorce. He answered with her.
I love her dearly. I trust her explicitly. We will be together until death do us part.
Great story!

I don't have a lot of money, and I'd probably be a considered an OT poor. I'm still working hard to advance my career
But all things considered, I'm pretty content in my life.
Nice...
Blow off any and all neg thoughts of other's definition of "poor" or "successful". You're already both rich AND successful. The rest is gravy.
All the money, status, and material wealth will never replace or be a substitute for what you have to this point: A shared love & happiness. A wife who obviously honors you and visa-versa. Positive 'tude. (Hope you've also Jesus in your life)

Your not alone there. I’m a lot to put up with at times. How Mrs. M. has done so is one of the great mysteries of marriage.
Stay with it.

His wife, much like you, appear to struggle with entitlement. Nobody owes you, your wife or your kids anything.
Bojangles meanwhile appears to have found that wonderful inner peace that comes from knowing what you can and cannot control.
But seriously though, score keeping is pure arsenic in a marriage.
The reasons that lifetime pansies can come up with to justify letting people have their way with them and their family, just to avoid conflict, are amazing and very sad at the same time. Bojangles, the good advice you've gotten here is to grow a set and take up for yourself, your daughter, and your wife to all these people that are treating you poorly. Unless you are a trust fund baby or have some other understandable reason for not being able to deal with your parents.

That's my girlfriend. Not my wife.

Yep. Been with my wife almost 31 years and married 28. We actually love each and enjoy and want to be with one another. I got lucky on my wife. She isn't batshit crazy like most women.

15 years together. 10 years married. Easy peasy. Until our daughter is a teen, I imagine.

I’ve been happily married for 15+ years now. And I’m just as madly in love with my wife today, as I’ve ever been. I look in the mirror every day, and count that blessing. I can’t imagine my world without her.
I do however hate my job. And that is 100% the source of all my misery. So if I could just retire, and still keep my wife, I’d be the happiest dude in the world.

Unfortunately, despite having an on paper better life than many of my peers, and a great wife and great kids, I am perpetually unhappy.
I have always been this way, I'm always looking for the 'next big thing.' and it has led me to do both great and stupid things.

It will be 20 years in October. We’ve had our ups and downs but are in a very good place right now.
Retirement is a few years away and we are on track for me to retire at 55. The kids are growing fast and should be on their own by that time . Life is good.

Married my high school sweetheart. 38 years later I still want to go home and be with her everyday after work. Best thing that ever happened to me.
