@iammarkmanson: Most people think about compatibility in terms of shared interests or attraction. Emotional baseline is probably the more important variable and almost nobody talks about it while choosing a partner. What's something you wish you'd paid more attention to early in a relationship?

My husband is chronically unhappy, sees the worst in everything, is constantly cynical about the future. After 20 years of trying to, I’m done.

I chose a happy man, but unfortunately he chose me at my best as I rapidly started to deteriorate into a sad anxious person brought on by numerous circumstances that I've been through. I never meant to bring him down emotionally or make him feel unseen. It took him leaving me to finally wake myself up and stop living in my past. I've finally learned to how to regulate my emotions without meds or being self destructive. I'm happy again, but I lost my best friend during the process.

if you let it. my wife has huge anxiety. yes I get frustrated sometimes but after my initial reaction. I calm down and think and I try to help instead. me n her work on it together and she always apologizes when she realizes it was blown out of proportion. I'll love her always. impossible to be happy all the time

I agree. I regret it. I am happy and want to see and do things. I feel constrained. Sitting on the couch is not my thing.

Or you could choose to he chronically happy and in turn making your chronically unhappy partner happy, then Everton gets to be happy!

Didn’t realise this until we split. 14 years of trying to repair her.
