We've been married four years and I don't think marriage is hard at all. I love being married. The only rut we're in is that I want to spend more time with him, but he's way busier than me (works 70 hour weeks). That's my only complaint--that I am needier than him and need more time with him but he's busy with work and doesn't have as much time to spend with me as I'd like. Other than that, we never fight or get into arguments.

That's a pretty major complaint - at least it's what killed my parent's marriage.

Well, I knew going into the marriage that he would be working a lot of hours--it was worse before we got married, actually--it was 100 hours back then. It's the nature of his job, and it's not going to get any better. I think when I finally get into my new career and am working full-time that I'll feel better about this and the lonliness issue--but since I only work part-time and he works the equivalent of two full-time jobs, it's hard for me to deal with the lonliness at times.
Also, there's a difference in my mind between being a workaholic (which he's not) and having to work that many hours because the job requires it. Since my hubby isn't a workaholic, and doesn't put in any more time in than is necessary, it's a lot easier to handle than if he were a workaholic.

You have to be joking! Did he had a gun held to his head when he took this job?
YOu kidding me - having him be away would be bliss. Half our problem is we are always around each other - he hardly ever goes out...I never get time to be home just by myself. And I LOVED being single, even a single mom. I never felt lonely.
When he was looking for a new job, we looked for jobs that had travel, so he'd be out of my hair at least sometimes
