He never, ever, ever does the dishes. I WANT A DIVORCE. I WANT TO MARRY HIM JUST SO I CAN DIVORCE HIM; THAT'S HOW MUCH I HATE IT.

Whew. Glad I got that off my chest.

No really, he's a good guy though. Just the dishes...

Oddly, that's the one chore I can count on my husband doing. That and washing the cars. But any other kind of cleaning? Forget it.

He won't clean ANYTHING. Sometimes it feels like I should be threatening to ground him or take away his allowance...I feel like his mother.

We do have our "down side", of course, but I think that almost everyone does. I am not perfect, and neither is he. I do get frustrated that I have to CONSTANTLY remind him to do things around the house, though. I work and he doesn't. If I don't tell him to do a chore, and then tell him again, and probably a third time for good measure, it will not get done. He will get distracted by a video game, or chatting online, and totally forget. And after working a highly stressful, physically and mentally draining job all day, coming home to do the dishes and laundry is not what I want to do! And, if I manage to be too busy during the day at work to give him said reminders to do things, it won't occur to him to LOOK AROUND and see what needs to be done.

Guess it could be worse. I could come home to him telling me to get in the kitchen and make him a sandwich.

In a long distance relationship with Master. We've met in person and feel really comfortable with each other and can talk of anything ... but just the past day or two has had a return of my libido (switched meds) and now I'm completely frustrated and lonely and wanting him right here ... now. Five thousand miles is too much distance for me at the moment. At the going rate, the next time we meet I may trip him and beat him to the rug even if we're surrounded by people at the airport. He'll also likely be walking funny for three days afterward ...

We've been together almost 9 years now...and I'd say things are in pretty great shape. Sure there are things that could be improved but for the most part we are very happy.

The wife and I ecstatic in our relationship - and family as a whole. Our college age kids still live at home and neither has given us 1 minute of grief.

Together my wife are life the proverbial hand-in-glove. We're somewhat self conscious as listen to friends whine about all their troubles. We just quietly take it all in and go home for some fun.

I must say growing up in a home full of turmoil - I never believed that two people could be this happy together.

"I must say growing up in a home full of turmoil - I never believed that two people could be this happy together."

This is exactly the way I feel.

My husband and I are happy as two peas in a pod. We've been married 18 years and I have never been more content in all my life. We genuinely love being together and spending time together, regardless of what it is we are doing or not doing.

I am often confused by my friends who constantly complain about and want to take separate vacations away from their mate. They bitch about their husbands and I think they expect me to join in the bitchfest. I have no complaints and often will text my husband when I am with them, just to tell him how much I miss him and love him.

I'm very satisfied. Of course, no one is perfect (and I'm well aware of his flaws and mine), but every time we've had to deal with a problem or issue I've always ended up very pleased with the end result. We are able to face our problems head on as a team, rather than let them divide us. I have so much fun with him no matter what we're doing. I just feel like there is nothing we can't talk about or do together. I'm very happy!

Even his flaws are pretty humorous. The only thing that would end our marriage is if either of us lost our sense of humor about things. Life is one big made up game of Calvinball.

At this present time only the distance we have to travel takes way from the enjoyment. Of course there are things we are working on changing but overall we're pretty darn happy.

Love my baby, I think its probably be cause we openly disagree about things instead of trying to avoid conflict.

I hope someday I will find someone to have exactly the kind of relationship you and your lady have Gunsmoke. You are both so blessed.

Wow! It is so wonderful to see how many truly happy couples are here! That just made my little heart so darn happy! Lol.

I'm beyond satisfied! We've been together for 5 years and are very happy, have a wonderful relationship (one I never dreamed could actually happen) and we talk about everything and have SO much fun together... except when we're really stressed or I'm in pain from a freaking tooth ache. That's been such a bummer on our fun lately.

Anyways, I can't think of any real complaints. I'd like him to wash my car? Lol. I am capable of doing that though. Lol. He's always doing nice things for me, even after so long of being together. We still have so much fun together and even join in with the kids having fun, I think we'll always both be young at heart. Playful.

He listens well, loves to do anything for me and insists on doing so and is always thinking about me. I still have a hard time understanding that a man truly is so kind, caring and able to meet my needs as a female. Not that I'm high maintenance! Lol.

I really can't complain. We have a great relationship and there's too many amazing things we have that other's don't so it'd be selfish to even pick at the tiny things like him not remembering what I tell him sometimes or not cleaning up all the time. He does for the most part, but everyone has those days.

I really love that he listens to me. It's so hard to find a man who will listen and believe me, I'm a talker so it's got to be hard! Lol. He supports me in everything I do and is listens to me go on and on about things I'm working on, projects and writing school. He'll tell me he has so much faith in me. It's really unbelievable that he could care so much. He listened to me run on about my recent story last night and even helped me with a few things. Then listened to me talk about a dress I've been making! Couldn't get any better than having all of that wrapped up in one.

It makes me feel great to see there are so many satisfied people on here.

I am so grateful for my guy. Looking back now, I can see where for years we were missing out on a lot of "fun" and yet he stayed committed to me and loved me in spite of my depressions and really hard times.

I think that two things that have really helped us are the fact that he was committed to stick with me even if the feelings weren't there - and also the fact that his mindset was on "we" versus "me". Its like he always wanted to think about what was best for us - even if it might not have felt like it was the best for him.

During our intimate times he gave far more to me than I did to him.

Now - I can be an "equal" partner - partly due to learning stuff on here - and its so great to realize that I have this awesome husband that has stuck with me 32 years.

I'm grateful for how much he adores me - and I adore him in return.

He drives me crazy and I want to shove him off the nearest bridge. Actually, no, the nearest bridge leads to really yucky water. A better bridge.

And I wouldn't change it.

I love my relationship, and I'm exteremly happy. I do admit there are a few things about him I would like to change, but it's nothing that would effect us if it isn't. I love the way he is and how he treats me, I wouldn't trade him for another anyday.
