Is anyone truly happy in a marriage?

Those lovey dovey messages on social media is such farce. If you love someone there's no need to display it to the world. I know of men who did that on facebook and insta when they were hitting on me at my workplace. I'm sure their wives had no idea what they did behind their backs.

Exceptions can be there. I was going to get married but it was called off. My sister has not been happy at all in her marriage and not too far from now they will be separated and eventually divorced.

This has a significant impact on kids. And i never wanted to destroy a kid's innocent mind when i knew i am not capable to handle a relationship if i ever experience infidelity and betrayal. Sure, there could be some honest men but i never found them when i used to date.

That's needle in a haystack.

I'm happy that i chose to remain single.

Similar things one of my friend told me, I don't know if he would ever find that someone which he thinks he can get old with. I can understand, the concern is genuine.

I have seen many (Indian)couple who are not fully compatible with their partners, they quarrel now and then, they keep complaining it also. But when it comes to taking divorce, there is a big NO, from both sides. I was talking about older generation.

Three of my cousins already got divorce in their thirties. Being a cousin and uncle to them, I feel very bad for not being able to help in anyway. One of my dearest cousin, she has completely devoted herself into her job and Ph.D. And her little daughter talks like a mature person.

I don't know how true the below notion stands true these days.

@SW-User Yes, she was very close to her father.

I mean, no two persons can be 100% compatible. The people have to make it work.

They have to respect each other. @ABCDEF7

@SW-User Yes both have to understand and put it to practical implementation in life. I think, this is what you must be looking in your potential partner, a person with too high ego can eventually find it very difficult to implement it in real life scenarios.

@ABCDEF7 sometimes there is deep love under that quarrel.

@Nick1 Difference of opinion doesn't mean you should stop loving.
