Summary: 

I don't read net.social, but spotted your plaintive missive on net.women.

Yes, of course, some of us out here are happy.  My husband and I have
been married for 15 years and, if anything, love one another more now
than when we got married.  And we manage to find more things to communicate
about all the time.

I'm not absolutely certain what we're doing right.  It definitely helps that
we knew one another a friends for two years before we fell in love, so we
had a good idea of one another's strengths and weaknesses ahead of time,
undimmed by romantic fog.  And that we're both willing to take responsibility
for our own finances/actions.  And come from similar enough backgrounds that
we share a lot of unconscious assumptions, rather than having to bring them
out into the open and argue them.
