Who Here is Happily Married?

[Robert W]

This is for anyone, but especially the men.

Many here are divorced, some more than once, or married and not happy. I don't know if this is just old guy culture--complaining about the wife--but it's striking, especially given that married men are generally happier than unmarried men, statistically.

So, are you married? How many times, how many years? If you feel comfortable sharing: happily so?

Divorced twice for me. I had no complaints about either wife until with no.1, she cheated. Wife 2 had religious issues. I am pleased with my two daughters, per each wife. Girlfriends filled in for a time. Never found one who did not cheat. It was not over sex with me.

My wife and I started dating back in 1985 while we were in high school. She was a Senior and I was a Junior. We had a long courtship/engagement that went 15 years before we got married in 2000. I have to say it hasn't been the easiest road travelled, she has suffered from schitzophrenia since 1989 and I've been there the whole time myself. We have one daughter who'll be 23 in March. Wouldn't trade a thing.

She raises bees or plays goalie in soccer?

No, she's my keeper. She keeps me out of trouble, keeps me out of bars, keeps me locked up in the garage, and keeps the key to my ball and chain hidden somewhere where I can't find it.

Look out for other Serbio Pottamus people and we strongly prefer that you look at other males or women that are 100% infertile .

I dont like gypsies from the balkans
I prefer skinny blondes

Happily married since 1973. Not sure how long that is.

It was one of the few good moves of my life.

Same here, since 1984

You say kilograms, I say pounds.

I don't like women's weight in kilograms. It makes them sound like they're packages of drugs, not soft, fluffy playthings.

Good for you! I also have a keeper, of the zoo kind. That's what you have, right?

I met her in college and at the time she was married to a friend. I played it cool for well over a year. They divorced and she dated my roommate for a while and they didn't hit off so I asked her out, knowing I had been in love with her from first sight of her. It will be 43 years in March. Nothing has changed. She saved my life twice when I was on death's door. Amazingly she still is in contact with her ex and my wife eventually introduced my roommate, who is more like a brother than my own brother, to his current wife and they have now been together 26 years! She was my wife's coworker who had recently been divorced and had zero interest in dating. Less than a year later they got married and raised a combined family of 4 kids, 2 from each, and he is now Poppa to 3 teenaged grandchildren, just like me!

Yes, once, still happy, coming up on 40 years.

Looks like paedophilia with you fast approaching 50 and weighing over 160 kgs .

I think its not pedophilia if the woman is above 21 you could otherwise say a 70 year old man with a 50 year old woman is pedophilia too

Married three times. 7 years followed by 4 years followed by 10 years.

First wife got pregnant by another man. I moved on.
Second wife decided she wanted to "wear the pants" so I let her and moved on.
Third wife was a good woman and we're still in regular contact but live two states away from each other.

I am legitimately happier living the single life.

I was the prototypical carefree bachelor ... and I had a ball. I had absolutely no plans on getting married. Coming from a single-parent where my father was a sperm donor and little more and my parents divorced when I was 10 - my mom never remarried despite having several opportunities - I didn't have the highest opinion of marriage.
And then I met her. A girl I worked with who pursued me. Young, cute, smokin' body, great cook, smart but kind of shy. All my friends were getting married so I gave in at the age of 30. Had a great run of 12 years until she came home from a business trip and told me she didn't love me anymore and wanted a divorce.
Two years of intense counseling did little. She wanted out.
Stupid me. I started dating right again after the divorce.
Stupid me. I met somebody who was totally different than anybody I'd ever known. Not my type, really, but shared my love for music and had a wicked sense of humor.
Call it a rebound, something I thought I was immune from.
Holy shit, was it a mistake. Six weeks into the marriage, I knew I'd really fucked up. Six years later, we finally faced reality and divorced.
Had lunch with a friend who was going through a divorce herself from a buddy of mine.
"I can't picture joining the whole dating scene again," she lamented.
"Nor can I. Why don't you just go out with me?"
"Are you serious?"
"Hell, yes. We've been friends for a long time, we seem to get along okay. Why not give it a shot?"

We just celebrated our 15th anniversary. I love her more now than I ever have. It hasn't been without its drama, which I won't go into. We've been through some shit together. But we've emerged still together.
I finally found it. Marriage #3.
And for those of you who criticize Trump for being married three times, **** you.

Best. Marriage. Ever.
Well, for us anyway.

I don't get saying "I don't love you anymore". I'm not trying to humble-brag; I really don't understand it. You vowed to love. That's an obligation. So seriously, they thought their marriage was going to run on vibes and feelings all the time?

42 years the kids are grown but son has mental problems and lives with us he is helpful now that I am an invalid. My daughters 3 kids are 4 6 and 8 and we are getting full custody soon they have been with us over a year. Daughter and son in law have legal troubles.
Always wanted 5 kids the grandkids make 5 that we are raising.

That's a lot on you, God bless for taking this on

I used to think that. I am part of a small circle of male friends. We gripe or laugh about politics and the things around us. One of the guys is still married. Occasionally his wife sits with us at the café but mostly not. The only time he seems unhappy is when he has to go home. By the way, I don't know who told you that married men "are generally happier than unmarried men".

Here's an article filled with lots of links to studies. Married men are healthier, richer, and yes, happier.

Why marriage is good for men

Brad Wilcox examines claims and data on finances, happiness, and health to challenge the idea that marriage is bad for men.
