What is your marital status?

My husband and I were married when we were both 17 and had a little one on the way. Very few people thought that we would make it, but we fooled them. We've been married for 32 years and he's always been my best friend.

My choice wasn't there so I had to pick Other. I am so envious of all the ones in good marriages. I've been married 32 years too, but it's not what I expected or hoped for. I long to feel that "connection" and tingle when I see he's home instead of thinking "crap" he's here.

My husband is a good man and is liked by many people. He just hasn't grown any in all this time and just isn't the best of husbands. I don't want to start a downer, but my whole life has not turned out the way I had dreamed of, not even close. I sure wish I could go back and start over and find a true love. I'm just too old now to want to do anything about it and who in their right mind would want a 51 year old overweight woman ?

Can you tell the seasonal depression has started?

My husband and I started dating when we were 17 and had our first daughter when we were 18. We did break up when our baby was about 6 months old. We got back together a year later after dating other people and have been married 9 years now. (10 years next Sept.) My husband is my best friend, a wonderful father, and a super husband.

Sweetie I wanna come down there & give you a big hug. You aren't too old to change things in your life. I under stand that going out & finding mr. right might not be an option, but you could pick up things you always wanted to do. Hobbies or go back to school. Maybe if you have more things you enjoy & are happier with yourself you will be happier with your husband. You are never to old to take steps to make your life better.

I clicked "other" because I was engaged, but the donkey called off the wedding. Now I'm single, boyfriend/husband/childrenless, and LOV'N it!!!!!!!!!!!

We started dating in April of 2006 when I was finishing up my senior year of high school. His mom had just kicked him out of the house, for reasons still unknown to us, and started staying with me and my mother. In July of 2006 he had to go to Arizona for a border patrol mission that lasted 3 months. It had been our longest seperation. About a few weeks before he was coming home, he found out that he was on the list to go to Iraq. We became scared and decided it was time to get married. He came back the first week of October and we waited a couple weeks to tell my mother we were engaged. Our original plan was to get married the week before Christmas, but after a lot of contemplation, we decided that because of all the papers and stuff we would have to get straightened around, to get married November 18, 2006, just a little over 3 months ago. My mom helped us plan a small, but beautiful wedding then we went to Delaware for a mini honeymoon. We did a detour on the way home and went to see my father in Wisconsin. While we were there, he was carrying plywood out for my dad and twisted his ankle. It turns out that he has two tears in his ligaments, one ligament which actually can't be seen in the MRI, degeneration and a cyst on his ankle and now needs surgery, so he is undeployable and safe at home with me. It has been an adventure, but I wouldn't change a thing. He is my love and my best friend. :-)

My husband and I got married when I was 18 and he was 20. That was nearly three years ago. Everyone said it was a mistake to get married at such a young age, but neither of us (even now) would have it any other way. We've truly been blessed with a loving and happy marriage, but that doesn't mean we don't have our problems. At times, I am overly emotional, and like some of you other ladies here, I push him away. We rarely argue, but when we do I get very hurt and let my emotions take control. I'll say stupid things like I don't need him and such, mostly to convince myself. But he will never let me push him away for long. He's so patient and understanding and always forgives me when I'm wrong. On average, we probably have an argument once a month or so. (This doesn't include minor disagreements; we usually handle those jokingly.) This is such a small part of our lives and we really do enjoy spending our time together. I can't imagine my life without him. I feel that he pushes me to always do better, become better, be a better person. He encourages me. He makes me think. He makes me laugh and smile. He trusts me. He loves me. I only hope that I make him feel even half as good as he makes me feel.

I'm truly blessed.

So, to answer the question...this is my first marriage and we are very happy together.

My first marriage was miserable. I had one daughter in that marriage. I divorced and was single for a few years before daring to risk it again.

I've now been married 21 years, and have been with Greg for 24. He's gone much of the time driving semi, so our time together is limited, which I suspect actually has helped us keep things together this long. We're both very independent types who like our space but are totally loyal to each other. We have 2 adult kids together.

Greg would like if I'd get my CDL and team drive with him, but I can't imagine the 2 of us living in a semi togeher. Too much togetherness would be a shock to our systems and probably the end of us!

I'm on my 3rd marriage and happy now. Third times a charm as they say right?

My first marriage I don't count much. I was only 16. I don't regret it though because I was given a beautiful son who is now grown into a very mature man.

My 2nd marriage, ugh. He sucked! But again don't regret it because I was given 2 other beautiful children. Both of which still have lots of maturity to go yet. But I have faith in them, LOL. My daughter who is 16 and my son who is 18.

My 3rd (AND LAST) is to a awesome man who is such a special gift to me. I don't know what Id do without him ever.

I will be married 25 yrs. this May, it is both our first marriage. It has had its ups and downs along the way. No marriage is perfect you need to constanly work at it as a job. I went through a period where I was not happy and was ready to leave him, but he is stubborn and refused to acknowledge that I meant business. Low and behold I am still in the marriage it has gotten a bit better, I guess I was going through a phase. We did the marriage counseling but what happened was that year I broke a metasal bone in my foot and that actually brought us together he was there by my side helping me. Funny right.
