I don't know about this either, aren't all marriages a little different?
Yes they are all different
Quote: Are you looking for the storybook marriage?
certainly not...I may be young but I'm not naive
Quote: What "kind of m" do YOU want and then ask your H what kind of M he wants...will they be the same?
in some areas they would be the same in others maybe not as much but the given answer from h seems to depend on what day you ask.
Quote: Have you come right out and asked H if he was happy?
I asked him plenty of times before the a, during the a (before I knew about it) and have asked since. His answer was always yes. But does someone who's happy in their m have an affair and then leave. That would clearly indicate unhappiness to me..and since things aren't much different than they were then why should I assume he's happy now?
