Are you happy in the relationship you have with your SO?

Pretty happy

There isn't an option better than extremely happy?????

Happy and sad.

I would say Happy.

I wanted that option too. We have been married over 5 years and we still act like newlyweds. Is it any wonder why I'm pregnant?

I am extremely happy the only way I could be happier is if he was home more often he works a lot.

I would say very happy. If we were to live nearer each other then I would say extremely happy.

I'm not sure yet

Yeah, too bad there's the North Sea between us!!

Couldn't be happier!

YAY!!!!!

I don't have an SO and am happy without one.

It seems like everyone is in a couple! Being single sucks!!

Yes!!! I'm very happy. We are moving together this week and we'll get married next year.

ive found the love of my life and will always be happy :)

We can soon change that.

You're going to built a bridge?

Oh yes!

I guess I wasn't too happy. I broke up with him.

I am very happy with my SO but I wish that she would stop talking to the boys that she does. Call me jealous if you will but I have my concerns as everyone does.

I'll start on this side then!

My boyfriend is fabulous. He's everything I could ask for in a boyfriend - sweet, gentle, considerate, funny, briliant, devoted, good-looking, etc. The only thing that keeps me from being madly in love with him is that I feel disillusioned because I started seeing him shortly after the breakup of a long-term relationship with a guy I felt for certain was "the one". Just for the record, I am not a teenager and I have never felt anything remotely like that before. And yes, the feeling was mutual. Anyone else have experience dealing with the one after "the one"?

I'm a newlywed!

Extremeley unhappy. The relationship with my SO ended in the exactly the same location as where he asked me 'is it ok if I call you my girlfriend?'.

I had to change my vote!

Do you see your boyfriend as a replacement of 'the one'? Do have any feelings for him or are your feelings still with your last boyfriend? Whats with the anon, is your boyfriend on SC?!

I don't know. There's a lot of pain from it right now. I'm too confused. I can't make decisions because I don't have the experience. I can't get the experience without more pain. ...and all the resentment...and wondering if I should be offended or not...and wondering if I've done the right things...

My fiance lives 500 miles away. I give him everything he asks, money, everything, yet it's never good enough. He is VERY demanding of me & expects me to give him everything he wants, yet gives me NOTHING in return. It's very one sided & I wish he would see this, but he doesn't..

You're being fudgeed, girl! Don't send him another cent!!

I take back my previous comment, Im not single anymore hee hee

Jaap Stam said yes?

Have been married 28 years, and I would do it all over again if I could.

ANONYMOUS #5 why would you say something like that anonymously?

I will never find anyone as wonderful as my SO : ) : )

I am 50 years old and have been married twice, I met my present partner three years ago and he is also a two time loser. We are very happy, but we wish we had found each other sooner. Who knows if it would have worked, perhaps we have just both reached the right level of maturity.

today is our 7 month wedding anniversury :D

Im a very happy wife of 10 years now, 2 beautiful children.I believe to many couples run from there problems, and end up divorced. Just face the problems what ever they my be,,and solve them. Think about the children!!!!!!!!!!!!

::hug::

I'm just gonna eat mud.

I was happily married until I fell in love with someone else; then my spouse found out; I tried to go without seeing the other person, but find it so hard to let go; Is it possible to love two people romantically, spiritually & intimately at the same time & at the same level eventhough one knows it is so wrong??? Well, I decided to just stick with my first choice of whom I'VE been maried 10 yrs., ALSO, and for MY 2 children!!!

I did the same thing. It is possible to love more than one person of equal intensity as you love another, though I've found each love will vary slightly, but not in degree. Polygamy seems natural for mankind but we have "evolved" out of it as a society. Unfortunately, our bodies and hearts don't always know that. You made a good decision. I know from experience how hard that can be.

Move closer to where I am living so that we could see eachother more often.

This is my second marriage, and his first. We've been married 18 years. One kid from my first marriage, he's 21. I still love my SO, I guess, but we don't have sex anymore, and sleep in separate bedrooms, at his request (he says I snore, well so does he, and he has asthma and we have cats....), and really I sleep better without anyone in the bed. But it seems we're just drifting along, brother and sister-like, not in a romantic sort of relationship. NOT what I would like.

Oh, and that person who said "Think of the CHEEEEEEL-dren"? Sometimes divorce is the BEST damn thing you can do for your kids. MY parents fought like cats and dogs, and homelife was sheer hell. I would have LOVED it if they had divorced! But no, they stayed together "for the CHILD". And made it so I can't stand to hear people arguing, and don't handle confrontation or fighting well.

If your marriage is hell on the kids, ditch it for their sakes.

Unfortunately I know that I am not in love with my SO, and there is the fact that he is married to another. I simply stay in the relationship because of the 'comfort factor'.

im content with my roomate. he helps me and i help him.

I just got married in June!!!! I am Extremely happy...life couldn't be better!!! :) :) :)

I'd be happier if she were here. (Pout.)

The IM is my best friend, though it's currently on the fritz. My love is far, far west of here, seeking her (rather expensive) destiny at college, learning to help people...

... I'm learning to be an engineer. I'm gaining a hardcore technical education. It *scares* me how much stuff they plan on putting in my head by the time I graduate.

But... I'm also scared of growing apart. Like we're learning about different things. And even though we communicate constantly, I still worry.

But I'm going to go see her for Thanksgiving, and we're going to spend quality time together, and we'll remember why we put up with the pain of being separated, and we'll know why it's worth the trouble.

I have never found anyone as special as the man I am with now. :) He's gushy.

Yeah. Thanks for asking.

I would say the word would be fairly contented. There are things that he does that make me want to split, but then again it's nice to have a companion that has no commitment expectations!

yes.

Over the past few weeks my current relationship has changed more than a babies diaper. She is by far my best friend. At first I wanted more from the relationship and that caused us to part for about three weeks. A week after we began seeing each other I went to fast again and almost did us in. But at that point I rededecated my life to God for I was being pulled away due to my feelings for this girl. With a new look on my life and this girl we have in just one week grown to be the best friends anyone could have, We share everything with each other, She comes to me for advice and tells me her deepest secrets. We are like soulmates. I would not trade the way we feel for each other now for anything including sex. She is the best friend a person could have.

I am happy now that there isn't a relationship anymore!

Relieved?

Yeah, sort of. It was causing so many problems. Now I can just chill, and not worry about having to please anyone.

there has to be a better answer than extremely happy!!!!!!!!

Extremely unhappy: after ten years of marriage, one child, and lots of verbal abuse from my wife, we're divorcing, thank god! Dragonette said "just face the problems, whatever they may be" but that doesn't work if your SO won't cooperate! Sometimes divorce is the best solution for both the child and the parents, no doubt about it! Now the search begins for a new companion...

Good luck

Extremely Happy........ My man makes me feel on top of the world everyday. We have been together along time and we have had our ups and downs but that is what life is all about. I love him more than anything on earth.

That's so nice.

I agree!! I think it is way better to break up for the children than to fight like cats and dogs but stay married for the children. My parents argued like all couples do, but they truly cared about each other and about us. I do not think they ever considered divorcing. They were married almost forty years before my dad died, and if he were still alive, it would now be 52 years.

not anymore

*7- Why not?

extremely happy with both the wife and girlfriend

My SO is the best. I love everything about her.

I am not your SO I am your wife buster. And you better not forget it. But then how could you? lol

How about my SOwife?

NAH

I don't really know. Sometimes I think the whole relationship was a mistake, because I am into very independent, cynical, "bad" guys, and all of a sudden this tall, teddy-bearish guy comes along... and reminds me of a puppy I once had...and all he wants to do is put me on a pedestal and worship me. That actually doesn't sound so bad, but I grow very claustrophobic in that sort of thing. And he can't make one move without me! Then I will drag him somewhere so we can have a long conversation about "where this relationship is going", and carefully denote that we are independent people, blah blah blah. The last time, he started crying and said he couldn't live without me. Aargh!

The Passion Paradox
Get this book.
Give it to him.

Author? Publisher? I think I've seen it around but can't remember where.

No SO.

The Passion Paradox, Delis, Bantam, 1990

okay thanks!!!

Come back hotbabe

Extremely happy!

Stop whining man!

Stop telling people to stop whining when they're not!

Yes, you are. Survey after survey. Get over it.

Just because your relationships are going up crap-creek, doesn't give you the right to slag everyone else's off!

*And that wasn't intended to be spiteful*

It doesn't? lol

I guess you're right. Sorry Wixy.

You're a good lad, deep down!!

My first ever text message was sent one year ago today exactly. It was from you and said "u stink"

My SO is my 29 year (today,7/3/01) relationship/marriage to my husband David.I feel that I would be so much happier if he weren't on Prozac sometimes & Paxil at other times.I never know where he's coming or going.Not to mention that his equilibrium has really been off the past few weeks & he falls down alot now.

I would be happier if she would be a bit more dedicated to completing her doctorate. She has been contemplating quitting recently, and I don't want to see her give up. In the future she will never forgive herself, and then will take it out on me. (Husbands are always the best scapegoats.)
