Nor is it incompatible with a best case scenario for over all quality of life for all involved. This may be hard to discern at times,more or less, depending on the people involved.[/quote]
Maybe I’m in denial… but I think you can be very happy when you find a person who’s a good partner in child rearing (if you have kids), financial endeavors, hobbies, travel. The key is being on the same page on the big stuff – money, kids, commitment.
But if the couple is out of balance on commitment (cheating), money (a spender vs a saver), or child rearing (strict parent vs lenient parent)… happiness is definitely doable.[/quote]
I don’t think you are in denial, unless you mean, happy all the time. Even then, maybe you wouldn’t be in denial, but I have never met anyone like that. I can see where the way scaredy said “occasional spells of happiness” could fall short of some people’s reality too.
