Yes, yes, I am. Even though she's not very handy on a deer drag. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/mGoQR92l.jpg)

I was married for 42 tears, the first 35 very happy. She decided her social life was more important than her family and after two years of separation she filed for divorce. Two years later she passed away. I have laid awake many, many nights trying to replay how things got so wrong that started so right. Still have no answers.
I am now married again since a year and a half ago and could not be happier. We are not just husband and wife but are the best of friends. Still in a learning curve but the future looks bright.

Second time around has been a pleasure. No multiple personalities and always even tempered even though my stupid moments. We take very good care of each other And enjoy doing it.

My marriage went about 20 good years plus a couple not-so-good. The menopause years were rough on her and whatever got into her drove her to abandon everybody, son and granddaughter included. I’m grateful though for the years and family she gave me, I had the good sense to treasure every minute of it when I was in it, I still do looking back.
Anyways congrats to you guys still happily married 😎, there ain’t no better way to live.

Been married to this one for 34 years.
We were both married before. I had two kids, she had never had any.
The first twenty five years were heaven. We were best buds as well as lovers.
Then menopaus struck.....She's a different woman now.

For the last 40 years I have been married to the best woman I know. Still, it hasn't always been easy. We are very different in our interests and desires. They say opposites attract and then drive each other crazy. That is us. The secret has been a willingness to let each be ourselves without pressuring the other to change.

Sorry to hear this, I was absolutely tortured for 5 plus years... took another 5 to fully get my mojo back and dig myself out of a financial train wreck but I did... hope you have the same good fortune. Thought long and hard about this thread, and the question posed all day. Some folks have different ways of dealing with things. Ergo some of my answers. But the bottom line is no. I’m not happy. Mater of fact I am completely phuqing miserable. And there’s really not a damn thing I can do about the situation except deal with the anger, bitterness, vitrol, and negativity as it comes and try to do as much damage control as I can.

Together since 1988. Married in 1991. Three successful children, no grandchildren yet. Best thing that ever happened to me.
