I've been with my husband for 7 years, married for 2.5. We've created a family and home together and I want nothing more than to continue to be married to him, to be a loving and good wife, and to be happy. But I'm starting to feel like maybe the majority to married couples aren't happy. My husband says every relationship is like ours and I'm a child a divorce so I guess I don't really know. I feel like my dad and atep mom who have been married for 27 years are happy most of the time. They do a date night every Saturday, they rarely fight and truly seem to be best friends. My husband and I have always had a "different" relationship. In the early months he'd make plans with me and then bail, he'd make comments about my weight or make up or clothes. And I just chalked it up to him being young and not really having been in a relationship before. But now, 7 years later, the comments remain and there's nothing I can do that's right. We rarely have good days. I feel more like I'm a.burden to him than his wife. And I feel like maybe that's all I deserve and all thats out there. There's no respect for me or my feelings, we can never have a conversations because when I try to he says I'm yelling at him. He expects perfection and nothing I do is good enough. Is this normal? Do couples typically have more bad days than good? Is it common for men to not be able to discuss tough subjects and to have high expectations? I think maybe I'm just not good enough and he's just trying to make me better? Marriage is important to me. And I want to do whatever I can to make this work. Maybe just knowing this is typical would make me feel better.
