Did you live happily ever after with the love of your life?

[renard_ruse]

I didn't, but curious if anyone else "beat the odds" and lived happily ever after with the "one."

Tell us about it.

 

[Saint Peter]

So you are going forward solo?

 

[coati]

I didn't, but curious if anyone else "beat the odds" and lived happily ever after with the "one."

Tell us about it.

Yes, and here's how it happened. I eventually grew up and recognized that nobody is perfect, and thus no "perfect" individual is going to make my own life perfect, and vice versa.

At that point, I was ready to engage in a sustainable partnership based on humility, respect, and continued personal growth.

 

[Saint Peter]

Another soloist??

 

[BrokenBarbie]

Nobody is crazy enough to tolerate me for an extended period of time.

I’m basically a nightmare.

 

[Rollinbones]

More than once.

This time around it's continued a lot longer than the first few times i lived happily ever after. Almost 16 years now.

Maybe i'm an optimist.

Maybe i just don't learn very quickly.

Maybe she's just got low standards.

Who knows, but i'm as happy as a pig in shit about right now.

 

[rockcasbah]

I am the love of my life, so Yes!

 

[Tim2run]

Not at first.

The second one was a keeper though...

 

[oggbashan]

So far? Yes.

Only 48 years and counting...

 

[Fingerfuxs]

Absolutely, 28 years now or is it 29 years

It’s all about balancing things out , friendship and long term goals. Yadda , yaddda , yadda .......at the end of the day some of us just get lucky and some of us don’t.

When I read about sexless marriages being the reason people are here searching for companionship it’s sad. Besides the fact that a lot of cheaters hide behind that statement as cover , a actual relationship without intimacy really is sad and I do feel sorry for them.

 

[silver gurl]

I am the love of my life, so Yes!

This does not surprise me.

Welcome to real life and humanity.

 

[oneblueye]

hey ...

I didn't, but curious if anyone else "beat the odds" and lived happily ever after with the "one."

Tell us about it.

STILL... am living with my 'happily ever after'.
Am I still 'hunting'---?, yes, but now for entirely different reasons.

 

[BrokenBarbie]

Welcome to real life and humanity.

I don’t blame anyone but me.

You know that whole “it’s not you, it’s me” excuse?

It really is me!

 

[MaximillianMeen]

My wife told me to say "Yes".

 

[BrokenBarbie]

Smart guy.

 

[PFWilly]

54 years...so far.

 

[newFED]

looks like I am the oldest here. 61 years with my Southern Bell and hard to remember the before life. Secret is to be able to adjust to the ups and down of life.

 

[Islander55]

I am 62 and hubby is 65. We made it 37 years and while it took awhile to figure things out, we have settled into a very comfortable relationship. Perhaps not the classic romance of literature but we do work well together and enjoy each other. Retirement made it a whole lot easier as he was a bit of a workaholic.

 

[uncle easy]

Truly the love of my life

We married two weeks after she turned eighteen and she is now seventy three. We have always been together and happy.

 

[oneblueye]

hey ...

I don’t blame anyone but me.

You know that whole “it’s not you, it’s me” excuse?

It really is me!

AND I FOR ONE ---, BELIEVE YOU

 

[Aglaopheme]

Yep, 30 years, and counting.

 

[HisArpy]

I don’t blame anyone but me.

You know that whole “it’s not you, it’s me” excuse?

It really is me!

I blame your environment. But then again, today I'm a nurture over nature believer. Tomorrow I could, maybe, be persuaded to change my mind depending on how cray cray you are today.

 

[Fermina_Daza]

I don’t think it’s remotely selfish to say someone is the love of their own life. Hard to love another person when you don’t love yourself. And someone once told me sometimes love isn’t enough.

I think love - in the way it’s being discussed here - is overrated. I love my child more than I love anyone else. I love myself enough to recognize it’s not another person who will bring me (personally) “happily ever after.”

And to those who have found someone who is their happily ever after, I’m glad you found what you need.

 

[mackiemack]

I am the love of my life, so Yes!
