Why is everyone here seemingly disappointed in marriage? I will not have it.

Unfortunately that opinion about marriages is going to happen considering each one is different, many times the two involved in them changing over time and ending up wanting different things. He and I married young and we definitely changed over the course of the 20 years we’ve been together. But as we changed we kept each other in the loop the entire time. Communicated a ton, the D word being brought up a couple times in those serious conversations. We worked through each obstacle together though and became each other’s person more and more because of it.
