Is anyone actually happy in their relationship?

My husband and I are pregnant with our second. Can’t tell you how excited we are for our family to be complete 🫶 I have seen a lot of sadness on here so love this positive post! I feel incredibly fortunate to have found my person in life 🩷

I have an amazing hard working husband, though not perfect, he's a great man and I'm very blessed to have him. We have actual conversations about hard things and are working through them. He's such a great dad to our boys

My husband is absolutely the best person for me, hes the best step dad to my son. I’ve been ridiculously in love with him since our second date

I haven’t given birth yet (28 weeks) but I’m very happy in my relationship!

There is no perfect relationship or marriage. Relationship will continuously be a work in progress.
Always aiming towards perfection.

Personally, my relationship isn't yet where I want it to be, but I am grateful to have got the best father for my son and a man that sacrifice so much for me.
This is what I hold unto when the worst comes cos marriage will forever be "for better, for worst".

What you aim at seeing, is what you will see in relationship.
Seeing the best in our partners Should be a conscious effort cos they are humans and will definitely act like one.

When you consciously look out for the good stuffs in them, you will see enough to be greatful for and enough to hold onto when the worst comes.

Even though we’re trying to work things out, I’ve never met a man who’s so attentive and gentle as a partner and father.. so in tune with what’s going on in the house and individually. There’s not a lot of men out here that are genuinely selfless in all aspects.. always ready to just go go go. Like others I’ve been in love with this man since day one and the spark hasn’t faded 6 years on.. even though we broke up due to natural differences if I could I’d do it all over again the exact same, with the good and bad… like the poster above me said, it’s always a work in progress and if you can love with respect and grace, then you’ll always be able to figure it out 🫶🏼

I just flicked through all my photos to print them out and god knows it brought a smile to my face instantly … I recommend you all flick through your photos on those bad days x

love the way you worded this 🙌🏼

Oh babes! Congratulations! That IS exciting! 🥰🥰🥰 do you know what you're having? Or are you waiting for the surprise? ☺️ So glad you found your unicorn 🦄

That's amazing!! I'm so so happy to hear you guys are so happy! And congratulations on your second bundle!! I hope everything is going smoothly! What an exciting time ❤️🥰❤️

Aww I LOVE the empathy aye.. My partner cried too. But stayed by my side the whole 29 hours 😅 and when they're an active parent, it just fills your heart so much more! Getting all those endorphins from so much love!

No man is perfect 🤣 mine certainly has his flaws 😂😂 but the good outweighs the bad when they're like that. Especially when you can communicate with them. My unicorn 🦄 is unfortunately closed off when it comes to expressing how he feels. But I push his buttons until he talks to me so he can see I'm not going anywhere! Good and bad, I'm right here with you.

We have our ups and downs sometimes. We've actually dated before but always found a way back 2 each other and this time it gave us our beautiful daughter were currently engaged but we basically say we're married already. I love that man 2 death him and my daughter are both my world ❤️

OMG girl, I think our partners might be long lost twins 😅 everything you described is my hubby too. I love that! I love that you guys don't have a score board. That you see something that needs doing and yas do it!! Excellent! So healthy xx

Aww man, when a bloke steps up to be Dad there's honestly nothing sexier aye. That's so great my love ❤️ feels like a true story of "love at first sight" ... Your heart just knew!

My husband is simply wonderful. I was (still am) very insecure about my weight and when I told him I was afraid of all the weight I'd be gaining from my pregnancy and not being able to lose it afterwards, he said he'd love me no matter what and that I am and will always be beautiful and that all that matters right now is that I stay happy and healthy. This is just one small example of how lovingly my husband treats me every day. There are good people out there. Trust me. I'm so incredibly grateful for my husband and love him more than life itself ❤️

ohh not long now mumma!! Is this your first? Are you ok? ☺️ I'm so glad you're being supported. It's such a vulnerable time. The love becomes just that much more valuable to us xx

That's it ❤️ I've been thinking about this a lot lately with some of my friends ... I think the biggest mistake a lot of women make is forgetting that men are only human. They make mistakes, but they have a lot of feelings too. They just don't portray them the same way most women do... But if you show support when they express how they feel - good or bad, even if it hurts to hear, your relationship will gain strength. ❤️🌹

I'm genuinely lucky that my bad days are just my own. Sure, we both go through "moods" but we don't fight... We've been through a serious trauma together and it completely changed our relationship. You can't pry us apart with a crow bar! Ironically, the worst thing that ever happened to our family, turned out to be the best thing for our connection in the long run. There's only love... Even if things get rough, there's only love, respect, and support....

I'm so glad you and your partner are trying to work through things. There's obviously a lot of love there if you can't let go ❤️ I hope you guys find your strengths in each other.

Yes! I’ve been with my husband for 12 years and married for 6. He’s an amazing hard working man. He works hard so I can stay home with our kids. He’s also a great father that helps me out and doesn’t make a stink about changing a diaper ❤️

My daughters father and I had a toxic relationship but it really went both ways due to me not trusting him and him living and cheating on me we found that we make better friends then partners and it has made us both much better parents my husband and I have been on and off since grade 7 13 years ago we made it official and for good 5 years ago when I was 6 months pregnant with my daughter and got married 3 almost 4 years ago and he has been the best yes I ever said in my life it does help that I married my best friend he treats my daughter like she's his own we have a son together and another son due in a week and he's amazing he rubs my back when my morning sickness hits at any time of day or night and gets me my nausea meds and water he rubs my back legs and feet when I need it even without asking him to he has taken on my animals cause even the smell of their food makes me sick he's taken on all of the household chores I just have to look after the kids and even then he still does most of that

it’s my first and we’re both really excited! My partner have been together 8 years and we’ve had our ups and downs. No relationship is perfect but I think that’s also the beauty of it, we work through it and come out stronger on the other side 💕 x

yes just like us!! Very much so had gone through something similar where individually we’ve gone through our traumas and it worked out that because of that we’re coming out the strongest individually and together! Super happy because we have two beautiful children together and the only way is forward ! Absolutely honesty respect and love drives us. Reading how all these women are describing their men and thinking yesss that’s what I experience too! Is so refreshing and nice 😩🩵

My man is simply godsent. He's gentle, listens to understand, and most importantly, he nurtures me. I am so blessed! We argue but we fight fair: there's always an undertone of love and respect and it has been so so so healthy for me. I love that we're growing together and not regressing

It IS refreshing! I loved reading everyone's stories and incredible opinions on their partners. It makes me happy. I'm sorry for whatever you guys have gone through. But I'm glad it brought you together and didn't tear you guys apart ❤️

I'm so glad you went into this relationship with great communication. That you both knew what you wanted and meshed well. Oh man how nice is it to have great in-laws!! Congratulations on your little miracle!! Sounds like she is just going to be surrounded with nothing but love! 💜

This listening is so important in a relationship. I think too many people get caught up in "what's my come back to this" instead of actually listening to what their partner is trying to express. Xx grow well together!! Haha ❤️

YAY!! My first was SO exciting. Experiencing everything. BECOMING a mother! Aww that's so special. I love it!

Yes, I married my high school sweetheart. He's a good dad and hard worker.

This is so nice to hear. And how amazing that you guys have been together so long and you're still happy. I love that he still helps you with the kids too. That his own children aren't a chore to him. ❤️❤️ beautiful family.

Aww I LOVE stories of people finding their unicorns 🦄 early!! I'm so happy for you both!! I love that he does the daddy roll too! Your kids will be so loved ❤️

Sometimes we have to go through toxic relationships to know what a really good one looks like... I love that your new partner doesn't think twice about being your daughter's father too. I'm glad you finally found someone who loves you so much and shows it. Everyone deserves this happiness.... So close mumma! Aw you must be so tired! I was SO big my last 2 weeks! I'm happy to hear he's being tentative xx

Me and my husband have been together for almost 13 years and we were friends for 5 years previously. He is really sweet, caring, and helpful most of the time. Like everyone he has his bad moments.

He drove me to every appointment in my first pregnancy so he knew exactly what needed to be done and how to support me. That was 4 appointments a week for the last two months, so it wasn't a light task. He also kept on top of all the home monitoring I needed. He came home as early and frequent as possible during my second pregnancy to take our toddler. He's always worried about being a bad dad but he is typically a good one and great at apologizing if he loses his patience. I definitely couldn't find a better match.

My husband is a goofball that’s always making me laugh. Is he perfect? Definitely not but neither am I. He has severe ADHD so him being forgetful and leaving stuff out makes me want to strangle him but I knew what I was marrying, ya know? He provides for me and our 2 pups in our big suburban house. We have our first baby coming in May too! I think he’ll be an amazing and fun father. I think with marriage and relationships, expecting someone to change themselves is the problem. Like sure, we both have matured but we haven’t necessarily changed our major flaws. Like I’m not a perfect housewife that is great at cleaning and organizing. Also not Betty Crocker lol he knew that when he married me. I’m not a slob or dirty but clutter doesn’t bother me like it bothers others. Organized chaos is my vibe!

We are actually celebrating our 2yr anniversary today. Our relationship was fast by normal standards. I moved to MI right after undergrad with family. I was just patiently waiting for my out because I did not want to be here, lol. One day I was drunk swiping on tinder and matched with this guy. He messaged me and I decided one date wouldn't hurt. When I seen him walk up the stairs to the coffee shop and awkwardly introduce himself, I knew I was in trouble. The next thing I knew we were dating, I moved in 4 months later, engaged a year later, than married a year after that, followed up by our LO just shy of 2 years from there. We have our days, sometimes we forget to give each other grace, or we forget to us those communication skills we learned in marriage, and we butt heads. However, he is the most passionate, caring, loving, supportive, and hardworking man I have ever met. Im not afraid to stumble because he'll catch me. He is the best father and husband. I can't imagine this life with anyone else.

Yeah! I love these kinds of posts! My husband and I have 8 years together, a blended family, and a 1.5 yr old baby boy of our own. We also went through trauma together that really grew us together. We're so different than we were when we first met. 8 years has brought highs and a few lows but mostly experience, love, respect, and kindness. I think I didn't realize in my former relationships how far general kindness towards each other really blossoms your relationship! 💜❤️
