I agree, X., but there are so many individual circumstances that contribute to the success or the failure of a relationship.
Personally, I feel that you have to be attracted to the other person in order to sustain a long-term relationship. But perhaps some people don’t require that attraction. I still am attracted to my husband after decades of marriage. I recommend that people look for that spark and nurture it and sustain it for a long-term relationship, if they so desire.
I do think that values and morals are very important to a marriage. I like to share, but I do not want to share my husband. Similar outlooks on life are imperative to the sustainability of a relationship.
When I was dating my husband, I asked him if he wanted to have a family. That was important to me and he said yes, he did want to have a family. If he had said no, I wouldn’t have accepted another date.
I happen to like nice men, and when my husband pulled out a picture of his German Shepherd from his wallet on our first date, I knew he was a nice guy!
A lot of women today do not like nice men, but I do.
And, speaking of nice men, you definitely fit the bill. I would love for you to meet the right woman and settle down. I think you have so many good qualities that so many young women would find attractive.
That is my personal opinion of you after seeing the type of comments you make online. You can learn a whole lot about a person by how they express themselves. You would make a very good husband for some lucky lady.
I truly wish that everybody could meet their significant other and maintain that relationship throughout their lives. I find that the longer I am with my husband, the more I would miss him if he was not with me. I don’t understand how people who love each other don’t keep loving each other.
