My husband and I have been together for twentyfive years + now, I think.
We get along fine for the most part. He tends to be a bit more parental than I'd prefer. He'd probably say I'm a bit more irresponsible than he'd prefer. But overall it's not a bad relationship.
He prefers to skate the surface, though. And I might prefer a bit more emotional intimacy. Should I just give up on that desire, knowing that if I wanted a guy who enjoyed emotional intimacy I should have married one?
We have a great time together. I love his sense of humor. We can watch TV together and laugh together. He always makes watching TV such fun because his laugh is so infectious. He also makes me laugh with grammar humor, and with pertinent TV and movie quotes. He enjoys watching the Game Show Network and impressing me with his knowledge. And I don't mind that at all. I am genuinely impressed.
It's not a bad marriage. Maybe I should just leave it alone.
I sometimes wonder if too much honesty would just sink our marriage...
