I’m 10 years into a “successful” loveless marriage. My wife admitted a couple years ago that she married me because I was a “good idea.” AMA
A few years ago she admitted she married me because I was a “good idea and a good man” and people we trust said she should. I married because I was in love and wanted a life together. 10 years, many adventures and multiple kids alter and I’m not loved but more like a good friend/no change. AMA
EDIT: this is genuinely been very helpful for me. I really appreciate all of you people taking time to give your opinions, input and experiences. I’m not closing this out yet as it has been helpful to answer some of the questions you guys ask. I did not expect it to become such a popular post, but I thank you for you guys being willing to take the time.
