Of course, couples who constantly fight may have serious issues as well, so there's obviously a happy medium. |
My wife and I never fight. We both value our relationship and work quickly to resolve any disagreement, which honestly doesn't happen very often.
I love my wife and she's best roommate I ever had. I kicked my roommates out when she first moved in and haven't look back. I am no more bored with her than I am of my right hand.

Not me, but a co-worker has a sister who married three years ago and they still do not live together. They are both in Calgary, she lives at home he has a condo that apparently is too small for their liking and they won't move in together until they build a house which has been an ongoing process for several years now.

.... what if they can't stand each other after a month of living together?

That is truthfully my case as well. We have both moved around so much and don't have roots anywhere anymore. Without her, I would be the old creepy guy at the bar one day.
As for kids, I don't know if boredom is the right word, but having a baby keeps me busy and has positively influenced my lifestyle. It sounds corny, but I was pretty depressed and it help fix some of that. Maybe the depression was a biological trigger to make me want kids, but whatever the reason, life is better with a baby than without.

You know, have you ever done this after getting married? None of my friends are married so when I go out with them its usually just us, my wife doesnt really want to tag along if theres no other wives.
But have you done that recently? I've got two friends that regularly close down bars on weeknights and one day I went with them.
I cant do that anymore. Its boring.

See that definitely sounds like the existential dread I was talking about.

Wait is that why people have kids, boredom and existential dread?

Nothing kills the romance in a relationship like moving in together. I wish it was societally acceptable to be married to someone but live in different places (aside from a separation scenario I mean).

If you share a one bedroom condo with your wife, she better damn well be your best friend. No secrets!

Nah, I'm lucky in the sense that she's a shift worker in health care, and does a couple weeks of evenings per month (3:30-11:30pm, I'm your average 8-4:30 office worker), plus she works a weekend per month. It's pretty much the perfect amount of free time vs. seeing each other. This is a relatively new progression so I'm really appreciating it so far.
If something ever happened to our relationship and I found myself single again, I think I'd specifically target shift workers (is "health care employees only" a filter on dating sites?). My best friend here sounds like he's pretty much with his other half 24/7, I actually feel rather claustrophobic even picturing myself in that situation.
