I was happily married for 15 years. Unfortunately my wife was not.
I was happy but my wife too often wanted me to read her mind — a skill my mother had not required me to learn.
In counseling before we divorced, my wife said I hadn’t responded when she wanted sex. Amazed, I asked “When did you say you wanted it?”
“Happily married” would appear to be a condition similar to “blissfully ignorant.”
My ex husband was happily married for almost 25 years. He was shocked when I filed for divorce. He chose not to see my unhappiness.
Same here.
