Poll question: Are you completely happy, satisfied, and royally turned on by your spouse/SO?
SO meaning both commonwealth marriages and gay unions not sanctioned by your state.

3. Now I wish that I hadn't included the "stuck in a fucked up relationship option".
It makes me sad that someone picked it.

4. Well, that's probably the one most applicable to me these days.
But before my separation, I worshipped her. And I think that's probably my nature - to fall in love and then be blinded to every other woman in the world.

It's silly, I guess.

I would probably be happier if I could learn how to be a little bit more of a "player".

But then again, there's something to be said for being with the woman of your dreams. And you can't be, unless you're still willing to dream.

10. I'm sorry your son is having to deal with heartbreak.
We grownups tend to minimize the pain that teenagers go through, but he probably feels just as miserable as I felt last year. If I had any advice to give, I would tell him that the right girl would feel just as strongly about the relationship as he does, and she would not let it end without a fight. If she's willing to walk away, she isn't the one.

11. It is sad.
I'm not even one of the two. I didn't vote. I don't really consider myself trapped. I'm not in a relationship, even though I'm still legally married. I'm a little stuck, but I'm doing the things *I* need to do right now.

I really do feel bad for people who are really stuck in terrible relationships. I have come to realize that it is a worse situation than losing someone you really love.

6. How can you be 'completely happy, satisfied, and royally turned on' and 'mostly'?
Edited on Tue Sep-27-11 03:50 PM by mainegreen
Just saying. :D

Also, who the hell is completely anything?

That said, I love my wife and I'm happier in our marriage now than when we first got married, so that's good. However, she can give the hairy eyeball like crazy, and she insists on eating crunchy apples in the car while I drive which makes me want to claw my ears off. God, what an annoying sound that is.

13. You know, when we were first married, we did it everywhere.
In the car, on the living floor, you name it, and usually two or three times a day.

After a year or two we were still doing it in unusual places, but had slowed down to several times a week.

After ten years we restricted our sessions to just in the bedroom and about once a week.

After twenty years it was down to once a month at best.

Now, after thirty years together the only time we even come close to having sex is when we pass each other in the hallway and both say: SCREW YOU!

:rofl:

17. Hell, we're still in "whenever, wherever, and as often as possible" mode.
And I've been with her since '84. Elevator in a Sears was fun - that HAD to be a quickie!!!! No other option.

The dance floor of one of those "high energy, bad music" clubs was another, but we weren't the only ones going at it.

15. I adore the man but nobody's perfect.
If he was he wouldn't be able to stand me sometimes, and vice versa.

16. Well, I was until I saw that he had not yet praised me on this thread.
Now he's going to feel my wrath. My tiny, adorable wrath. I'm sure he's terrified.

18. No real place to vote,
somewhere between satisfied and content.

Certain parts of the relationship I'm still happy with, certain parts I'm satisfied, I'm still totally turned on by my wife,

However, life at a certain age for alot of women can be pretty crazy (late 40's if you know what I mean) which can lead to some really interesting times, not always good either.

But you live knowing it's not going to last forever.
