Our tempermants align. We both prefer a quiet night at home than a wild night on the town.

Other than the extended families bit, ktspktsp and I are almost exactly the same way. Good summary of reasons why a marriage works...

We both have a lot of work related stress and are dealing with a family illness on her side.
There are still stretches when we get along great and have a lot of fun but they are starting to get further apart.
I fear we are circling the drain.

Have you guys gone to marital counseling yet? I would hope that would be some kind of last resort before you really go down the drain... if both of you still want to work hard to get it back to "happy" status. But I guess not everyone has the energy for that, either. Just curious...

Fair 'nuff, dlish! No requirement to disclose private things here, but I just thought I'd see where this thread went. Thanks for sharing what you did.
