It’s possible and common to be happily married and in a healthy relationship with someone you love deeply and who also gets on your nerves sometimes for very specific, but also very human behavior.
Loving someone means loving all of that person, flaws included. We accept the little annoyances because overall, that person adds more to your life than they take away. Acknowledging this fact of human relationships is one way to embrace those flaws, and thus, that person.
Yes, but this kind of shit-tier boomer humor encapsulates the relationship solely in the context of a nagging burden. There is no nuance, and further it harks back to an earlier form of popular humor where the nagging wife was hilariously silenced through violence.
All awful reasons. I love my wife, but if things start going bad, we’ll end it. We don’t want to of course, but neither of us are foolish enough to live like angry boomers.
Some of us can’t afford divorce. We were super close to divorce recently and the hardest part of it all is logistics and time. We have no money, like none no credit no cash, and a house that we almost lost but declared bankrupcy so it was saved for now. We have 2 kids as well. So basically we would have to sell the house to split the income before we move somewhere, but we can’t sell either because we need to fix a lot of things that cost money. So were literally stuck at this time and we couldnt even afford a night at a hotel if we wanted. Thankfully we settled our differences and our disagreements over finances and are actually doing ok so we didnt have to go through with it. If we did it would have been borrowing money from relatives to fix the house and then sell it, but even that seems stressful because how do you line up another place like an apartment when you dont have down payment until the house is sold and you have no idea when thst would even be.

Usually the answer is sex, money, fear, money, or money.

You are right. Which is why people can work on the relationship and themselves to improve it.
It is called having a healthy relationship.
