omans02: Do u feel u have ever had a truly successful relationship?
Yes ... we were together for three years. It was the only truly balanced relationship I have ever had. We loved each other equally, supported each other, and had an amazing three years together. I still feel a very strong love for him and ended the relationship for the stupidest of reasons. Michael was a complete and total free spirit, he was very skilled in numerous trades and worked when he needed money, the rest of the time he did what he pleased... we had some fantastic road trips together and enjoyed life so much. I didn't realize at the time that there were choices in how you lived your life and felt that I needed to end the relationship so that I could marry someone who was more stable... work 40 hours a week, buy a house, have 2.2 children, save for retirement... blah blah blah. It wasn't until my daughter was grown and I walked out of a very successful business to travel and experience life that I realized my whole life could have been this way...

Yes, my marriage lasted over 25 years, we were happy, in love and had two beautiful kids. Alas we married too young and grew apart in many ways, but we are still great friends.
Well after 27 years of marriage, I must have done something right. But it wasn't a happy 27 years, not all of them. Had two wonderful kids, so that counts for something.
