Especially when the kids get older and leave or close to leaving. You kinda look at each other and go "who are you?"
I know this too well. You aren't alone.0 -

That helps. Hearing it's common. Sometimes I think I'm crazy. It seems like someone has to be abusive or a cheater or some "good" reason for it to end.0 -

I'm not married, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night, so here it goes:
It appears to me that when you marry, you are marrying your best friend, right? When the kids are gone, become best friends again. I know the translation is lost after years of being parents, but give it a try.
Travel. Hold hands. Stay up all night talking, making out. Seems to me the best part of being together was probably the courting of each other, no? Get back to that.
But, what do I know? I'm divorced.

I doubt anyone is offended by that on here0 -
Relationships are a living entity. Too many people put them on cruse control, get complacent or lazy, and then wonder you aren't as close as you used to be. And a lot of that has to do with communication, or the lack thereof.
If you don't feed and water the relationship on a daily basis, it will slowly wither and die. Got to keep working at it.0 -
Married with a kid, dun dun dunnnn... Hhahaha0

I see so many people yearning for the single life and it simply breaks my heart. Yes, people change. They say that every decade you are a completely different person than you were before. This doesn't mean that you are no longer meant to be with the person you promised your life to, it simply means you are on a new journey together once again. Marriage isn't 50/50, both partners need to be willing to give 100%. If you are not willing to try to keep things stable and happy in your current relationship then more than likely the story will be the same in the next relationship. If you are looking for the perfect partner, you are looking for something that does not exist. Just like you, every human is flawed. You simply need to find someone who can handle your flaws and love you, not despite them, but because of them. On top of that you, yourself, need to be willing to do the same.
Sigh... sorry. Rant over.

Oh.. and I'm psychotically, passionately, blissfully married/taken (not legally married but we've been together 12 years.. have four kids.. and I say that's close enough!)0 -

Single, and delaying dating because dating is so calorie-intense. MFP could make a mint by opening up a dating app on the side where it would be socially acceptable to go to a restaurant that has publicly available calorie accounts and order off the guiltless grill menu.0
