Hi all,
A big hello from Opposite Land, where I’ve lived quite happily for a decade now. This weekend is the tenth anniversary of getting together with my wonderful and very sexy husband! I never could have imagined in my wildest dreams, stuck in a dead SM with a nice but passive aggressive ex-husband, that the relationship I have now could even exist!
For our anniversary we got a hotel room in Manhattan (we live in Brooklyn and his Mom stayed with the kids), a delicious couples massage, had what my husband described as “Champions League-level” sex, went out for dinner, a concert, back to the room for more award winning sex, and in between lots of cute conversations about how much we love each other, how proud we are of the family we created with two wonderful kids, and how lucky we are to still feel this way about each other today.
I don’t know what the next decade will bring, but whatever happens, I got to experience THIS! A true partnership of passion, friendship, laughter, collaboration, understanding and mutual admiration and respect.
It goes without saying none of this would be possible had I not extricated myself from my SM! So if anyone is reading this wondering if happy marriages do indeed exist, I’m here to tell you, IT IS REAL.
I hope everyone is doing well and for those who got out, that you are living a much happier, more fulfilled life whether you have a new partner or not.
Hugs from Opposite Land,
NY Art Gal

So if anyone is reading this wondering if happy marriages do indeed exist, I’m here to tell you, IT IS REAL. This 100%. It is so much better on the other side, single or in a relationship. Jumping ship from the SM can lead to so much more!

It's funny, but when I saw the subject of this thread my first thought was "wow that's a long time".
But then I thought about it and realized I'm more than halfway there myself, and realized my experience has been very similar.
It's gotten even better now that we are empty nesters!
Such a long way from living in my old SM shit hole and hating life.

Nine years in Opposite Land for me and coincidentally 9 years with post SM partner (btw when I decided to divorce, I wasn't planning or expecting to get into a romantic relationship. Heck, I was 61 when I divorced). I'm stil very happy and 3 years ago, my partner moved to Mexico, where we live as busy (with great activities) retirees. Interestingly, my ex now happily lives in Asia with his new wife. I'm genuinely happy for them.
