discuss the positives of you? and your spouse's relationship? I swear, I get it almost every time. When I give an answer of what a great relationship we're in, being truthful, I get the "the thumbs" down or people's comments..Maybe the section should be divided into "the happily married" and the "bitter divorced and troubled marriages." Anyone else?
Well, really, a "thumbs down" is not necessarily rude... But it shows how many bitter people are on here. I like to participate in other topics such as parenting, but that's even worse with the "judgmentals."

Then, when you move to the topics such as business our higher education or tattoos, even, you notice people are not so "thumbs up" "thumbs down" or in your face about things.....

I just think there are probably a lot of bitter people in this section.
The ones who look for advice, I give advice. The ones who ask about "your personal relationship," I tell the truth, and apparently I don't meet up to people's standards because I am in a great, trouble-free relationship... Sorry to give you the "crap." You're an example of the bitter person I am talking about.
 
I rarely even know if I get thumbs down or not. Out of 2k answers, I have gone back to look at maybe 10-15 of them. So, maybe, but I don't care.

Honesty serves a more useful purpose than telling people what they want to hear, IMO. Just keep it up, and who cares about the thumbs downers! For the record, I've only given a few thumbs down. Usually, I thumbs up--especially those who make a good opposing point, I like that--or I don't do anything. But, that's me, I like dissension! Bring it on!! :)
 
Yep. I get the thumbs down all the time. But I don't mind, because I know what they got their thumbs up ;-)
 
yes i have been married for 25 yrs and i am proud of that but than people don't have nothing nice to say so i keep it to myself i agree with you that they should divided it up thanks for your concern
 
Not in this category. Now Beauty or Health is very different. I am tall, naturally thin and have, if anything, trouble gaining weight. When I answer other thin girls/ ladies questions, being supportive, I get dozens of thumbs down. Since we (women that do not have to diet or work out) are the minority, I think people think we and models that claim the same, must be untruthful or something. Or, more likely they are just jealous. It isn't a picnic. Getting the flu for example I can drop 8-10 lbs in about 10-12 days. Clothes are a pain to find when you are both thin and tall. No one cares we are griping just like they are at being too heavy. LOL Congrats on your great relationship! I did once post a question to other women asking if they were thankful for their husbands after reading about some of the monsters on here. Sadly, not many said they were. I guess you may be the minority in this category so you or answers/ questions won't be really popular. The majority are unhappy and that is why they post.
 
i had one person that no matter what i asked i felt like she was an executioner. If i made a joke about humping the bed thinking of my crush she called me a rapest. if i asked about Evolutionist V.S. creationist, she wud tell me who cares get a life, if i mentioned how you want to die... o gosh let me not even say what she said, but i feel you. Some people have lost their funny bone.
 
OH YEAH PEOPLE ON THESE THREADS ARE AS RUDE AS A PIG WITH A CORK UPS ITS HINEY AND HAVE PERSONALITIES OF A SH1TSANDWHICH. 1 GOOD REASON TO HATE HUMANITY BECAUSE WE HAVE INDEED LOST OUR WAY AS A SPECIES
 
I don't care what anyone in here thinks about my answers or my questions.
 
I am like you, I like to help and be positive. I try and not put anyone down, life is too hard as it is. I found love at 45, I had the bad now it is time to tell others do not lose hope if I did it at such a old age. A smile is all that is needed and all good things will follow.
 
Your post is refreshing and I'm glad to respond!

Many people asking questions on Yahoo Answers are seeking approval for a decision. They don't want to hear something they disagree with or be held accountable for negative behavior. Morals, being faithful to a commitment (marriage), affairs, cohabitation (living together without commitment), and divorce are all touchy subjects. Individualism is a problem in our society and many people treat relationships and people like everything is disposable.

I've met people in person that have very low morals (and low self esteem). They think marriage is nothing more than a piece of paper and they've had affairs. The people are miserable and spend a lot of time trying to justify their actions. They talk constantly about how wonderful their life is.

I'm 25 years old and I've never been married. I practice chastity (live a pure life) and I plan on giving my virginity to my husband on our wedding night. I want to give my body, heart, and soul to my husband. I enjoy spending time with people as friends and sharing experiences. Anytime I mention fidelity or purity in my posts people usually get irritated. Everyone makes mistakes and it's possible for a person to change their standards. I've received a few extremely nasty responses and I get the thumbs down frequently.

I'm glad that you have a great relationship and are setting a good example! My parents have been faithfully married almost 35 years. I wish you and your spouse many happy years of marriage.
 
I would have to say that when people write in because they are having problems and they are looking for support or help, the last thing they want is someone answering with "oh I don't have problems.... my life is wonderful"... I see people writing that crap all the time and wonder why they bother writing. Its not what people want to hear very honestly.
 
A lot of people are bitter because they are in a bad relationship and not happy with the way their life is. Therefore they take it out on the happy people! Don't let it get to you! I am in the middle of a divorce after 24 years of marriage, yet I love to here about people that are happy! It gives me a little hope for my future! Thumbs up from me to you!! LOL!! Have a good one!
 
is that brunette wife again? just changed name? well, sometimes definition of a happy marriage differ from people to people. to me being married to a man who works in a wall mart and is overweight and into watching all kind of crappy sports on tv loudly days and nights and struggle with money is not a definition of a happy marriage. i am in a happy marriage for me, but i ain't sticking it to anyone else, cos maybe for britney spears with all her money and fame all my life is lousy and useless
