I am not happy, but not abused.
At what point is marriage compromise and the tamping down of dreams, and at what point is it settling and bad? Do these things change as the decades roll by? Am I comparing myself to fictional possibilities? Is it better to be alone? Or is it better to have an “ok” partner so that at least you have someone? These are personal questions- so tell me what you think.
I don’t even know what I’m asking but maybe some of you smarter than me will know the answer. Divorce sounds awful but so does a life of general unhappiness. Many of you sound like you have idyllic marriages - how did you get there? Has it always been that way? What work did you do to get there?
