I wonder how many people are actually unhappy in their marriages

Something happened today that really has me wondering. My daughter went to stay the night with a friend last night and she came home telling me that she asked her friend’s mom how she met her husband and she told her the story and my daughter told her it was a cute story and the woman said “we don’t really like it.. we are more of just room mates now.” And honestly I would never have guessed that about them had my daughter not given me that information. And of course I basically feel the same way about my own marriage. So how many married couples do we know that seem happy but really at home they are just room mates?

Married or not it's the same. I know I stuffed my first relationship by taking it for granted and baulking at the idea of getting married for years. My second ex stuffed the next one but my fault was I overlooked many of the narcissistic princess-mode danger signs she exhibited because I was blind to them trying to make it work before it went into full blown dv and abuse directed at me and our then newborn baby girl. Never been married and don't ever want to be. Marriage is super ultra toxic in.my view. It's never truly mutual and nearly always all about the woman while the man is considered as just a piece of shit meat to be trashed and discarded if he doesn't simp 24/7/365 and dance to the right tune.
