I don't meet people just through OLD. In all circles I run in I get hit on my married men all the time. On the outside they are devoted family men who are protective of their family and privacy. Just too many all the time and by men who I never would think would "be like that". It was discouraging.
This subsection of CD used to really get me depressed at times. The negativity, the ugliness, the hostilities toward the opposite sex.
Then it dawned on me that this place isn't indicative of reality... it's just not.
That being said I'm in my 40's... we're not married but have been together a long long time. I feel like we're happy for the most part. No union/marriage is perfect and there's always something about the other person you'd like to change... but grown ups in the real world know that and work with it.
I think that most of my coworkers seem to be relatively happy in their marriages... I had one guy I work with that is just going thru the motions, his marriage is dead and he's hanging in there for a few more yrs til the kids are up and out of the house. He said that they don't fight or anything like that. Last I heard he was attempting to see a marriage counselor and I wish him the best.. He's a good guy and I'm sure his wife is a nice lady.. sometimes people just drift apart... good bad it happens.
For me the test of a good marriage is simple.
Do you want to go home to your wife?
Would you rather stay at work or hang out with your friends more???
I like going home.
