The reason I say this is because I -am- and I dearly love my wife and we have a happy marriage. I think I might be in a minority here.

Happiness is a transitory feeling . Often times we can experience lack of it in many relationships beyond romantic ,including life ,but it doesn't necessarily mean it is any less worthy or great than at times happiness is present .
As for my relationship ,or the one I have been in for the past three years , despite its nonconformity and a lot of difficulties that naturally come with even the most convenient relationships ,I'm still very much in love with them and my love for them has grown deeper over time , and I believe I will continue to love them as a person even if my relationship with them fails so that is all that is important to me. I have experienced a lot of greatness and happiness and I think I will continue to experience that with them but those feelings are the result of work from both parties and also the presence,at times,of the unpleasant ones

@PepsiColaP I really appreciate your perspective on this - and the understanding that your relationship setup is unconventional and even hard to sustain but you are in love and it's goddamn worth it is a really powerful message. Not everything has to be fairytale it just has to be right for you.
