My first wife and I divorced after 5 years. I found out that she was not and had never been in love with me. She was in love with the idea of being married. I was her 3rd marriage and she had 2 more after we divorced.

And marry someone because you like them, trust them, respect and love them. Not because you hope marrying them will make you whole.

There's so much pressure on people to be in a relationship, to be married, etc. Just find someone you want to be with and who wants to be with you. You have to be friends before anything else. THEN work on HOW to be with them. People think you get married and *poof* all the problems are gone. It's always give and take, learn and listen. It's not always flowers and rainbows. Life isn't like that.

22 years of marriage. Marriage is a partnership through life. A spouse is not a replacement for “mother” or a “father” simply does stuff for you. It’s a partnership in which you work together to build a better life together and for each other. Never use a disagreement as justification for hurting, insulting, or threatening someone you care about, well anyone really. Gender roles don’t matter in a partnership, it’s about getting the job done. I went to culinary school and now work from home so I do a lot of the cooking, but I taught my wife and she is an awesome cook too and we cook together sometimes as well. Same with cleaning. She is going back to school and has a lot of homework so I am doing laundry and doing all the ironing now.

    Not necessarily a good idea. If your partner unknowingly says something racist or sexist or otherwise hurtful to someone around, it's better to speak up at that moment, otherwise that other person feels like nobody even stood up for them. If they say it in front of kids/teens, speak up right there, so that they don't learn that it's a normal thing to say.

    Depends. If they're saying something and making an absolute arsse of themselves I will get them the hell out of there and then say something to them in private. I'll not berate them in public, no, but I'm not sticking up for a partner if they're talking shitte and making an idiot of themself, I don't want people thinking I share the same view. In my opinion (people can disagree), the best thing to do is say as little as possible to just get it stopped pronto. My sister's husband talks rubbish in public and she sticks up for him - people's opinion of her has gone downhill for it. Be judicious about what you're prepared to defend.

    We spoke with several experts who shared their insights on the one key factor for a thriving relationship that many couples tend to overlook. According to senior therapist and Lightline Therapy founder Jacob Mergendoller, LCSW, one of them is learning how to “fight right.” 

    As he explained to Bored Panda, most couples prioritize “winning” over trying to understand their partner. In turn, they miss out on the growth that comes with resolving conflicts. 

    ADVERTISEMENT

    “It's possible to combine kindness and gentleness with fighting; they are not mutually exclusive,” Mergendoller said. “We can grow closer together because of conflict, but to do this, we have to get to the heart of what we're really fighting about.”

    I love flowers, my wife thinks it’s a waste of money since they don’t last. I just like how they look and smell in the house. If only I was rich or had a near by flower market like the one I visited in Ho Ch Minh city. I think a lot of the hype for Valentine’s Day is simple competitiveness among peers, one-upsmanship, and showing off. Some men and women like to talk about what their plans and show off their gifts, which is understandable.

    I drive an '01 VW Eurovan. It is older than some of my friends. I know exactly where to whack it when it starts making all of its various old-car noises, and sometimes it even stops making the noise for a few minutes XD

    The VW Eurovan were cool. Same VR6 engine as my Golf MkIV GTI from the same era which I initially loved. The features were thoughtful. It was a quick little hot-hatch. The textiles and amenities were competitively luxurious. Unfortunately my car was a complete lemon. The adhesive inside the headlight failed disassembled itself inside the housing. The three windows (Right, Left, and Sunroof) sensors failed wouldn’t close. The bolt holding the front left fender kept backing out despite ample and frequent application of Loctite thread glue. The rubberized coating on the dash started peeling. The VR6 engine is relatively tall and as a result, the bottom cast aluminum oil pan/transmission cover hangs down out exposed below the frame rails, and is an easy target for road debris. Lastly, someone kept stealing antennas at $40 each in 2001 money (about $73 today). Probably stealing them to replace theirs that had been stolen or they had a nice business selling them on eBay.

    Regarding conflict, clinical social worker and therapist Deanna Saunders, LICSW, notes that couples often don’t approach it with a “regulated nervous system.” As she explained, it occurs when a person responds defensively and negatively during an argument as a result of their fight-or-flight response. 

    Saunders says couples overlook this because we are programmed to think through our problems instead of recognizing that we need to take care of ourselves first. For this, she advises building awareness and paying attention to how our bodies react during conflict. 

    “Taking a five-minute pause when you notice fight-or-flight can prevent arguing about both the original issue and the hurtful comments made while dysregulated,” Saunders said.

    An ex can be valuable friendship to waste. I genuinely wish my exes all the best. I’m still friends and keep in touch with some. They are important people in my life and spent a lot of time with them. It would seem silly to waste that. Perhaps we shouldn’t have made the relationship more than just friends and perhaps it took a relationship to realize it. We’ve all moved on and all married others but we are still friends. I haven’t seen them in decades and I talk to them infrequently, but they are still my friends. I still exchange Christmas gifts with one of my exes parents too which is both weird and also cool. My mother also keeps in touch with them too apparently. All of this fortunately has no negative impacts on my relationship with my wife of 22 years. My wife is aware of my past relationships with my friends and my communication with them. Also I should say some relationships weren’t great and ended poorly and I wasn’t able or it wasn’t worth salvaging a friendship from it.

    Many of us focus on the discomfort that disagreements bring. But according to New York-based licensed therapist Ingrid Camacho, we can reframe that through co-regulation. Simply put, it’s the process of honoring your partner’s individuality during moments of conflict. 

    “The goal shifts from convincing to understanding, even if disagreement remains and compromise is needed,” she said, echoing Saunders’ previous statement of being mindful of your mood and slowing your breathing while listening.

    "I didn't want to go, I just wanted to be invited."

    Space and having a strong sense of individuality are two factors that couples overlook, according to trauma specialist and therapist Dr. Hannah Paull. As she noted, movies, social media, and even the people around us tend to romanticize the idea of “two becoming one.” Her advice: schedule curiosity. 

    “Instead of only scheduling date nights, set aside time to intentionally ask each other questions you don’t already know the answers to—about dreams, fears, memories, or future hopes,” she said, adding that relationships begin to stagnate when we assume we know everything about each other.

    Keynote speaker and Primal Dating co-author Tim Ash mentioned another essential element that many people forget about: the biological asymmetries between men and women. It is when we fail to understand these differences that conflicts arise. 

    Ash says couples tend to overlook this because of cultural and personal beliefs, and urges clarifying the minimum needs that can only be met through an intimate relationship. 

    “If you start to pile extra wants on top of it, the relationship will break more easily,” Ash said. “Get your wants met outside of the intimate relationship.”

    Many people also tend to undervalue the importance of asking their partner about their day. But as couples counselor and TEDx speaker, Dr. Claudia Six clarifies, it should be done without devices on hand and not while multitasking. 

    “Sometimes it’s easier for people to give you data than feelings,” Dr. Six said. “Read between the lines to get their state of mind, how they feel about things. Then you can offer support and empathy, advice if it’s requested (only if it’s requested).”

Either you or self-sabotaging by selecting partners with whom you are unable to make a deep and lasting bond or you are unable to put in the work and commitment to have a lasting relationship. Either way, you are the problem.

    I like this. One major reason why I will never get married is that I cannot in good conscience promise to be with anyone for the rest of my life. If my partner and I are together till we die, awesome. But I'm not prepared to swear on it in advance. Neither of know where we're going to be, mentally, emotionally, in 5 years time, and sometimes people change and grow apart. Divorce is difficult and often expensive (as are weddings, lol). I would consider promising to be with him for 4 years though.

    A lack of sense of humor can apparently make or break a relationship, according to licensed psychologist Dr. Samantha Rodman Whiten, a.k.a Dr. Psych Mom. According to her, the main issue of some of her clients is that they don’t find their partner funny. 

    Dr. Whiten says sense of humor is a proxy variable for intelligence. It means that the lack of it may cause a person to think their partner isn’t very intelligent, and may lead to a lack of respect. 

    “If partners can't make each other laugh, they frequently don't feel very connected to one another and don't feel seen or known by the other,” she said.

    Licensed family therapist Lea Trageser, LMFT, shared a similar comment, stating that people often forget to stay connected to joy and play with one another. She says couples tend to overlook this aspect when life becomes serious and issues about mortgage/rent payments, children, and navigating family dynamics arise. To address this, Trageser recommends having one hobby in common and one that is separate.

    I strongly disagree. It implies that there is a betrayed victim who takes time to process. And that there is a perpetrator, a cheater, who either already had a new person during the other relationship or didn't have deep feelings and therefore just moves on. The truth is sometimes that a person simply got tired of the drama and is done with the relationship and moving on with life. And maybe the other part is single because nobody wants to play their games anymore.

The quiet. To look over and see them sitting in their chair. To smell their cologne... So you go out, get drunk and f.u.c.k. someone else in an effort to get the taste of them out of your soul.. yeah.. You either understand that or you don't.

    When it comes to addressing conflict, relationship therapist Anna Joseph, LCSW, provided a valuable tip: externalizing the problem. As she explained, it is simply about viewing the issue as “us vs. the problem” instead of “me vs. you.” 

    As an example, Joseph used the frequency of attending social engagements. She advises viewing such an issue as 'my partner and I have different preferences in how often we hang out with friends, and that’s the problem,' instead of 'my partner wants to hang out with friends too much/too little, and that’s the problem.'

    “It is a subtle shift, but it can really change how we address a conflict,” she noted.

    Same. I have to put fuel in my car. The nearest garage is in my village - to drive further for cheaper fuel seems a teeny bit pointless. It's never THAT much cheaper.

    It's a luxury that you can pay any price and don't have to walk sometimes or b*m rides, or just stay home. The fact you have access to drive a vehicle puts you in a place of privilege over a LOT of people.

    In my experience, people who like good food know how to cook a bit. People who do not care about food are usually the ones complaining about the food somebody else cooked for them but cant be arsed doing it alone. I allways find it funny if somebody is moaning how a bad cook their wife is, dude, something wrong with your hands? Also, you would not recognize good food if it jumps in your face because you have no idea what effort it sometimes is.

    My wife is not a bad cook, but she IS indifferent regarding taste and what goes with what. I have done the lion's share of cooking for 20 years, she does dishes. She cooks, I do dishes. I am fine with it even though she does not work outside the house.

    I think this goes for most men too, nowaday. I do not know sht about cars and if one of the funny lights goes on i am driving it to the mechanic right away because i am scared it will cause my imminent death by spontanous combustion. Then i act like i know very well what he is talking about and add an occisional "that is what i thought, too" so he does not think i am an unmanly idiot. Women do not need to care about that, my wife could not be bothered to care about anything that was not normal for a car to make as long as it was still driving. If it brakes down, have it towed to the mechanic and act all surprised that there was a problem at all and nobody gives you odd looks. Do that as a man and the mechanic will gossip about you with his colleagues and you will forever be the guy who ignored the red light with the cute little engine
