No.
My husband is the greatest dad in the world. He is totally devoted to our son and will happily and patiently play any game my son dreams up. He should give daddy lessons!
He is also extremely good at his job. He trains professional athletes, and he is the best in his field.

There's a certain, warmth and familiarity when I arrive home, tired from work, and he is there to welcome me...

This is an interesting question only because I'm sure none of us who are here would say that we married people with no redeeming qualities.
In my opinion, the best way to approach marriage is to drop your expectations of your spouse, and allow them to be the person that they want to be. If you can do that for them, then the love that you express by accepting them for who they are will be returned, because what most of us are looking for in life is to be understood and accepted for who we are.
I truly believe that there is no way that we can be accepted by others for who we are unless we are willing to accept others for who they are.

A fair and noble question --- one I have asked myself a million times. But, first, a qualification --- marriages, by definition, are tolerable..... just not necessarily happy or satisfying or gratifying.
I come from a time when you admit your mistakes, but you pay for them, too. I made a vow, and man's word is his bond. I will honor that vow, even though I pay for my mistake. Like all marriages, mine didn't go bad immediately. Well, it did, but it took us years to realize it. By then, there were kids, and a mortgage, and a certain amount of inertia. What there wasn't was an expectation it would ever get better - it just was what it was.
So, we struck an agreement - she would live in her orbit, and I would live in mine. We worked out a deal -- I'll make the money, and she'll spend it. I buried myself in my work, driven not be a desire to succeed, but a need to have something besides home.
It is only in the past couple years, as I wind down from 30 years of constant work, that I see the emptiness ahead. The thought of being retired and being around all that every day scares the hell out of me. And so, I look up from my work long enough to see that there are other things in life -- and that I have missed most of them. It is people like Jazzy who show me what could have been -- the wines I haven't tasted.
That's the long answer -- the short answer? I was too lazy to get out -- too afraid to be alone -- too willing to bow to another's wishes. Thanks for asking.

You and your wife seem to have a good understanding...You couldn't have found a better partner...Others would have just walked out the door...
And she found the perfect partner in you...
Its like we become brothers and sisters,I think...the familiarity, blah, blah, blah...but i think that's the whole point of marriage (Catholic view) to eventually remove the lust as we age, and then just be there, in companionship...
as much as I want someone else, I cannot imagine anyone else, who I could live with or bear with me...for this long (just 10 years :D )

My wife is a very giving person, she is a hard worker and loves her dogs. She has a heart of gold.
I'm just curious...staying together for the children is part of that old vow. The kids are grown now, why stay together paying for a mistake that you have paid for over and over? Why not part and at least be rid of each others daily shit? Why not be retired and free to be you without her?

He is a wonderful dad, he's such a sucker for our 3 girls.
He is very thoughful, caring, and patient.
He is a friend to everyone.
He is Mr fixit, whether its a leaky sink or a little girls broken heart.
He is romantic and great in the sack.
He is a great cook.
He is a lot of fun.
He never forgets special occasions.
He never complains.
He is a great story & joke teller, he loves to make people laugh.
He will stop to help a stranger, even if we're running late.
He never complains about going to the grocery store by himself.
He has huge shoulders and gives massive hugs.
He is everything his father wasn't.
He is indeed a 'bon oeuf'; very tolerable, especially as I have now bumped the car for the 2nd time this year!!! he never gets cross when I have one of my tantrums...but you know what, the best thing of all is that he is a great Dad...

My husband has many good qualities; his best quality is that he loves me unconditionally...he rides with me through my rollercoaster life; he shares my ups and downs - and most of the times there are lots of downs and craziness. I am thankful for his unrelenting support. :knuddel:

And thanks for answering, Nola. I know I'm just as guilty as everyone else when it comes to bitching about my husband, especially when things are looking pretty bleak, but I also think we can get caught up in the negativity and that's not healthy for any relationship.
We married these people for some reason, and we stay with them for some reason too. Yes, many of us stay for the sake of the children, but if our spouses were complelety intolerable, wouldn't we and the kids be better off without them?
Sometimes I think we need to take a moment and remind ourselves of their good qualities. And remember that we're not perfect either.

Since there's been some active discussions about spouses on other threads, I thought I'd pull this one off the shelf and dust it off.
No, my husband isn't perfect. After 12 years together, he doesn't remember our anniversary. He leaves the toilet seat up constantly. He leaves a trail everywhere he goes - dirty dishes, t-shirts, reading glasses, books.
But he thanks me for every meal I cook, even if it's just grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch. He is the best dad I have ever met. He spends hours playing with our son, takes him to playgrounds, all his activities, and truly enjoys it. He does anything I ask of him in the yard - digging up trees, moving patio stones, mostly because I don't ask him to do things like that every day or the moment he walks in from work.
No, he's not perfect, but he's a good man.

Of course he does.......doesn't EVERYONE? You just have to weigh the good points against the bad ones........and see which ones come out on top.
Which was my point for starting this thread, Fly. Everyone does have good points, but so often on the site we get caught up on what our partners do wrong, all their annoying habits, every shortcoming. I wanted to see if anyone could remember something good about them, what drew you to them in the first place. There was a time when we thought enough of them that we decided to make a lifelong commitment to them. It just seemed like some people had forgotten.

True enough..........it is altogether too easy to focus on the negative in life/relationships/people. However people get married for a VARIETY of reasons........sometimes it IS love, sometimes convienence......sometimes kids.......etc. Some people marry the "bad boy" hoping to change em..... So not every relationship has that "fairytale beginning" to even remember! I don't complain about my guy on here just cuz I think it's disrespectful and I know I'M not perfect. But I just think there are a LOT of different relationships.....some start good and sour......some age like fine wine.......some never were good......etc.

I could not imagine my children being brought up any better with any other Mom.

She was a wonderful Mom as she raised her children and I always have told her so. Thanks MCat...

And once again, I agree with you about the reasons people have for marriage. Sadly, it's not always about love. However, if one has made the commitment, isn't it more productive to make the best of it rather than focussing on what could have been or what he/she could do to change. Seems like an exercise in futility to me.
I have to say, I admire your integrity and discretion about not complaining about your husband on here.

I think a big key about marriage to me is that it is not all about me. We are committed to each other for each other. We are not on the same page sexually, but that doesn't mean I leave because it is not what I want. There are reasons why we are in the state we are in and it is complex, but in the end result the marriage works or not if we are not claiming our rights but seeking to serve each other in all sorts of ways and fashions.

Ouch, didn't mean to imply I was taking pleasure in your misfortune. I just like the 'small print' you had after your comment.

I think all of our spouses have some good points. We would not have fallen in love to begin with if they did not. Mine can be sympathetic. He knows when I'm having a bad night at work at makes it a point to drag it out of me, even when I don't feel like talking at the moment. I think he realizes that when I get it out in the open, regardless of what it may be, that I feel better and a bit less stressed. He cares about the physical and mental well being of others in general.

My husband for the most part is a wonderful man, he is the hardest worker I no and is very good at his job.......I wish he would act as if he liked me have as much as he enjoys his job.......He is also a good father and helps coach our boys little league baseball team.......When he gets motivated he is a really good house cleaner actually probably better than me but cleaning house for him only happens about twice a year......

My husband isn't the same man I married, so I have to disagree with you on this one.
He's really good at being self-centered, selfish and an all-around prick.
