I haven't been on this forum long, but this section is a little depressing. It seems when people talk about their best relationships, it's in past tense. When they speak of their husband or wife, it's often negative. Or, they are single and seemingly miserable..
Are there any like, "happily ever after" stories out there? I'm pretty happy with my gf, but so many of these threads make it seem like that can't possibly last.
My advice is to take these threads with several huge grains of salt--preferably on the rim of a margarita glass. Most of the folks here who complain regularly either don't have a lot of experience, don't have much success with the gender of their affection, or are the type to let wounds fester instead of tending to them, however temporarily painful that might be, so they can heal. I've found their issues don't bear out to the general population, at least as I know it. Don't let them drag you down. I sure don't. If anything, reading these threads makes me appreciate my SO that much more!
There are many on this forum that are in healthy happy relationships. Some of those folks no longer post. Unfortunately Im not one of them.
The relationship section is very entertaining, sometimes insiteful and often makes one feel very very "normal".

I had an amazing relationship for 7 years. First 5 years were amazing, we were crazy about eachother, and perfect for eachother. 2 last years were progresivelly worse and worse. We definetely ended things in the beggining of april, this year.
I dont know if ill ever love someone so much or have such a long happy relationship again.
But even with that, im happy now. Im much happier than i was the last year with my ex.
My wife and I are extremely happy with our relationship, and have been for 13 great years. In most respects our relationship is "normal", but we do have our quirks that work well for us. If you and your gf or spouse are compatible, and truly care about each other's happiness and satisfaction, there's no reason it can't last and remain great for your entire life. I think too many people forget to nurture the other person, and may also forget that the relationship itself requires attention and nurturing, odd as that may sound.
I'm happy, and have a fairly normal normal relationship I think. You don't get that viewpoint much here because people don't post in forums to say how great things are; it's just the opposite.
I wonder what is considered a "normal" relationship.
I decided to stop trying to be normal and make normal my own personal standard. I'm normal and everyone else is crazy weird or like me. My marriage is happy and normal.
