Marriage

Why does it have to be so difficult. I am married but feel like I've never been so lonely. All I want is someone to care for me, listen to me and hold me close. I know I'm a guy but is it too much to ask?

It's not the happily ever after that Disney sells

Then why am I still in love with my husband after being together for 15 years, even though we've had problems?

@naoradix: @Jesterblue: didn't say it wasn't possible, just saying it's not common.

@Kuronekko: I get that. But the only reason we're still in love is because we haven't given up. Most common marriages end in divorce because people are lazy as hell. You have to have a fiery heart to stay in love. It means the highs are high and the lows are low, but it's an adventure.

@naoradix: well yeah.. There is no happily ever after and it's the belief that there is that causes problems. People give up because things aren't perfect, when in reality nobody is! Congratulations on your relationship, people could learn something from you.
