if men don't aspire to being happily married? Why do they ask us to marry them? No one is forcing them.
I'm not going to go into the details of my marriage, but suffice it to say that:
1)I was asked.
2)My husband has told me it was the best thing he's ever done.
3)If he wants to, he can leave the marriage, as can I.
4)I do not know what my husband says behind my back, and he doesn't know what I say behind his. All I know is what my life is, and is not.
5)I can say that from all appearances, and from my subjective experience, that I married a good person who expresses happiness. What else should I care about?
6)My husband expresses pleasure when I tell him he's a good man. Have you ever had this experience?
For the record: I am not obsessed with being "happily married". My name is not even "Happily Married." That's just an internet moniker for this message board. I have other interests as well as a real name.
