Is a happily ever after a myth?

Of all the couples I know, there is only one relationship that is healthy and going strong. Everyone, I mean every one, even those perfect couples you see here and there have huge skeletons in their closets. Divorce is not very common in my circle but most of these couples are so bitter/miserable/indiferent to each other that it seems like the only secret to a long term marriage is putting blinders on or lowering your expectations.

Is the happy 50-60 year old marriage just a myth?

Girls night out turns into a depressing crying fest.

   Last night was a big disapointment. Its sad to see how easily my friends minds can get taken over by guys. For all my life i've had guys go in and out of my life very quickly. There was endless boy drama whether i liked it or not. After i ended things with a guy i told myself that I was done with them because with almost every guy there is always an identicle outcome. I talk to a guy for a couple days, weeks, or months and in the end its either one of us loses interest, or the guy becomes a complete jerk.

Communication

Blog deux!

 

I am a communicator...I always have been....pretty sure I always will be...I have a great communicative relationship with my mom...and with my children. I talk to my mom everyday...my kids who are in highschool still call me at work after school...I thought this was everyone's 'normal'.

Help?

 Not really sure which forum this post should belong to, but here goes...

 

I moved to Ottawa, Canada last December, and haven't yet found a church/spiritual group.  I got burned out on mainstream church about 3 or so years ago, after I realized that I was only going to church because I had to (I was the audio technician) and that I was getting more out of the books I was reading during the sermons than I was actually getting out of going to church.
