Does anyone here even like their partner??? :(

My husband suggested I reconnect with other moms in a similar stage of life to me, but everyone seems to be so incredibly miserable that it’s compounding my anxiety. Do any of you even like your partners anymore??? We argue about all the usual small stuff and we have plenty of disagreements but he’s still my best friend and soul mate, does anyone still have that kind of relationship??

Yes honey, me too. I've noticed the same though, that so many seem to be unhappy. It's really sad. Relationships are hard work and this day and age, people aren't programed to put that into relationships

Oh yeah! We disagree over the kids sometimes but he is my best friend. We are always laughing and picking on each other. I couldn’t imagine life without my husband. We have been together 4 years and are still as obsessed with each other and flirt like day 1 lol 😂 I love everything about that man.

I’m happy about 90% of the time with my hubby

On these boards, people whine. But all of the local people I’ve met up with aren’t whining about these things. :)

@Anne unfortunately the people I know in the real world are the same in their 30s. Everyone is bitter about their kids and their partner and their whole life. I suffer pretty badly from depression and anxiety so I’m just trying to find some more positivity out there

Yeah of course. I love him, I like him, we have lots of sex we go on lots of date nights, we don’t fight we have nothing to fight about. Disagreements, yeah. Having said that he has his own boys that he hangs out w every couple weeks and I have my own gfs that I drop by theirs or we’ll go out for drinks and food or a festival together. It’s nice to have a partner that doesn’t give you ick and doesn’t annoy the complete Sh out of us 😂 so I think it’s healthy for everyone to have friends (and hobbies) regardless of how close they are to their partner. I don’t ever really vent about him to my friends I mention annoying stuff he does but they’re annoying manly things rather than something he’s done to me personally and or being an ass and they can relate and giggle w me and says “mine too”. Never vented about him on here. Because his “bad” doesn’t even compare to some of the stuff I read on here. Never been more grateful for him until I got peanut 😂

Yes! My husband is my best friend and he’s always the rock. We also argue about the normal things and silly things but we are happy!

We are a happy couple besides our fights and frustration here and there. Same for all my other friends with kids. They all fight, have issues etc but still love each other

Absolutely crazy about my husband! We are really happy together and are best friends!

I love AND like my partner. We are each other's best friends and everything in between. We saved each other from miserable lives that we had before we met.

@Kellie exactly!!! If I vent about him to my friends it’s about random ADHD stuff that is 90% funny 10% annoying and makes people laugh.

I guess maybe because most posts are about issues/advice/perspective/etc? not much to post when you’re married to your best friend!! Just my thoughts I guess. I adore my man 🥰

Good for u

I am very grateful for my man. We are deeply in love. Of course, we disagree sometimes, but most couples do. I totally agree with Nina, relationships are hard work, but with the right man it is definitely worth it to put in the work.

Every couple has their issues, me & my husband do (we've been together for 10 years btw) and you're never going to get along with someone all the time, especially when sharing your whole life with the person! But we are best friends & still love each other very much.

I sometimes have the same question.That’s why you don’t post the small issues you have with your partner in here. Because people project their relationships on you, disparage your partner over small imperfections and give you crazy advice.

@Rose the wildest!!!

Y’all are making me feel better. Honestly I know this is a good place to vent and all but seeing some positivity is nice too yknow? Especially when you’re in the thick of things, personally I want to see others surviving and thriving, I don’t want everybody to be miserable, like I want to see that it’s possible for things to be ok

He's my whole world. Besides my kids, of course lol but fr he's my best friend. We're equally crazy about eachother. He's currently on my mf nerves rn but I'm pmsing so it's fine ig. All in all he makes sure to meet all my needs. If I come to him with an issue, I'm confident enough that he'll do whatever needs done to find a solution and always has. Him just being present brings so much value to my life and has since we were just friends years ago. Well damn. Maybe I need to apologize for being moody today 😅

Yes we do. We have disagreements but we live each other and support each other 😊

I’ve seen that same observation. I adore my husband! He’s my best friend, we love and like each other 🤍 I don’t make it a habit to complain about him to others, we have trusted people in our lives if we need to talk something through and usually he will know about it if for some reason o need to process something with someone.

Can someone tell me how y’all found these spouses that you love/like? I’m genuinely interested. I have to agree that all of the couples I know are not only miserable but bitter. Very refreshing to see these responses.

I adore my husband, he is my best friend and as cheesy as it is, my everything. Of course we disagree on things and argue from time to time but I think thats healthy and have noticed a lot of people seem to think relationships should come easy and dont want to put in the work. We constantly want to be better for eachother and focus on eachothers intentions in tough times. Most of the time its a misunderstanding because we both have the best intentions even if we get it wrong. But honestly hes so fun to be around, theres noone I laugh more with and even after 8 years we still sometimes stay awake all night chatting nonsense and I wouldnt have it any other way. ❤️

Because happy people keep it private. People who post here or on forums usually need advice because they have problems. People online and IRL are so different imo.

Oh no, not me downloading this app because I'm unhappy with my love life 😂 I still care about my husband, he's still my friend But I also kind of don't want to be married to him anymore? I just want to be done with men to be honest

@Coura sometimes I feel like that too, but it’s just a temporary feeling. After a few days I go back to being happy again.

@Rose I wish I could get back to the happy feeling again. Feels like it's been over a year since I've truly felt happy in my relationship. Some days are worse than others, but it's been a long time since it's felt good

@Coura if there’s something your husband is doing or not doing that that makes you feel this way. Try to address that with him and see if he changes. Being happy in your relationship is importance, even if it’s not all the time.

I'm getting married next year, I don't think our partners are a reflection of us but we can become triggered if they project on us the things that are causing them dis - ease.

This app makes me appreciate my husband soo much! He’s the best team mate for a family of 7!! Never lets me get overwhelmed very hands on with the kids, provider, loyal, honest we can both be petty at times but never anything serious! I’m very happy and grateful for my man.

@Zhuldyz I dunno, a lot of the people I meet IRL are very similar to online and it’s disheartening. Maybe it’s just I’m from a different culture but I’m always startled when people put their spouse on speaker phone for others to listen to their private arguments 🫥🫥🫥

@Adeola right??? Maybe misery is just louder than contentment or happy people feel bad speaking on their happiness in case it makes others feel bad??? My husband and I met in a nightclub and have been inseparable ever since - I can’t imagine dating in this hellscape though 😂

@Rose I've tried, but it seems like we go in circles. A big part of it though is lack of attraction in general. I find myself fantasizing all too often about having a wife instead

@Roksan Girl it’s the absolute worst thing ever! I’m happy for you though. I think more and more I’m seeing that some people are happy and quiet about it which is lovely.
