Please show me one poster that has all these things. It seems to me several different posters with one or a few of these, not all of them.
I was thinking the exact same thing
I think Levow is confusing all posters with positive experiences into one big composite picture. No one person here as ever claimed to "have it all", many are just very happy and content with what they DO have.
My intent when I post positive info about my marriage or life is to show others here that yes, there is hope, good relationships really are possible and are happening more than you may know.
Actually, I think those posters who belly ache about EVERYTHING and EVERY situation are the ones to wonder about....
Hey yeh...I look good. Sorry I can not appease the masses and share my pictures. What I want to know is why some people hate themselves so much they can't stand to have someone else be happy or satisfied with even the smallest things.
Maybe some people would rather talk about the good stuff too most of the time instead of crying about everything.

I thought this was a board about Relationships, not Bad Relationships. And, to be honest with you, if somebody is struggling with their relationships and wants advice, isn't advice from those who have had better luck welcome?
I can think of only 10 posters right now that claim to have great marriages. That is not very many compared to how many people post on here. Why would anyone exaggerate their relationship on an internet forum???
btw, Sierra posted an excellent article last week regarding happy relationships.
Personally, I am most likely to post here to share my "wisdom" ( go ahead and hurl) if I have any to share. I had one miserably failed marriage that I talk openly about mostly because I hope someone will get some tiny pearl of wisdom or comfort from my past misery.
But I am also pretty happy in my current relationship-marriage. Not perfect, and there are days I could come on and gripe but I feel that to do so on a relationship forum would imply that I am fishing for a new one. So I save it for my GFs. Also, I think one of the secrets to a happy marriage is loyalty in the face of problems. My husband may act like a total jerk on occasion, but I owe him the loyalty not to gripe to the whole world about it.
I think most people on here exagerate quite a bit. I for one do not have to do that, since most of you basically know about my personal life than most of close family members. :c onfused:
