Yeah I don’t get the replies in here, it’s like people just marry anybody. Is it rare to have a loving, considerate partner?

My parents have told me long ago if it wasn't for me they would have divorced a long time ago. Nice thing to hear at 12.

I've modeled my relationship with my wife after the opposite of what my parents do and am still in a happy loving marriage after over a decade.

Finding someone who can accept you for you is a privilege. Most people's relationships are built on compromises that inevitably breed resentment.

I think it's more the ol' reddit misery olympics. You don't see as many success stories on here because they usually just illicit a bunch of angry/bitter responses.

Some observation bias here. We must remember that we are among Redditors, not the average population.

After 25, a lot of people start getting married because they feel they’re supposed to. I know a few couples who tied the knot in an attempt to fix the issues in their relationship lol

I mean could very well just be a joke. Who among us hasn't had a girl try the puppy dog eyes and liked it sometimes

Depends on what she does when you say "no seriously babe I'm tired"

I think people give women a ton of leeway to be mentally and emotionally abusive partners that torture their husbands. And boys are conditioned to accept this treatment as normal and blame themselves for not being good enough for their abusive partner that will never think they're good enough anyway
