I am 27 married 10 years with 2 kids. Life is ok for me right now. I'm financially stable and my kids and husband are extremely easy to deal with but I find myself getting pretty bored. On a scale of happy i'd say i'm a 8. How about you guys?

Im 39 and have been married 20yrs, have two fantastic daughters that i love so much!! I thought my marriage was great, but found out about 7mos ago that my "faithful" husband cheated. Over the last 7mos its been pretty up and down for me. Sometimes im good and feel like i can forgive him, other times i just want him out of my life. I feel empty inside, numb and mostly feel like im between a rock and a hard place. In some ways this has been the best year for me because of my promotion at work. Other times its been the hardest year to get through. I have faith and hope that the new year will bring me the answers im looking for. On a scale of 1-10, i would say i would be around a 6.. looking forward to being a 10 in the near future. Merry Christmas...

I am 20, married for 4 1/2 months with no kids. I'm pretty happy with how things are right now. As happy as any military wife can be, perhaps happier than most of them. My husband is my best friend, and on a scale of 1-10, I'll be around a 9. It would be a 10 if he was home more often.

You sound very normal. I think everyone feels the way you do. I'm very glad you did not mention testing the greener grass on the other side. Too many people think getting out is the answer to make them happy. It only ruins their life and they are never happy. It is not easy finding ways not to be bored. I live alone and Im bored alot. Moreso than you. But I took up a hobby that I always wanted to do. Joined a group of ladies once a week for lunch. Got a part time job. I worlk one or two days a week. Just enough to get me out but not enough to take away from all I want to do at home. You just have to keep reinventing live itself. As you age and your childern grow your needs will change. If your a stay at home mom. Now is a good time to take a home study course in something you might be interested in. I took the interior decorating course. I have fun with my home and can work one or two days a week for the store or with someone who needs my help. There are lots of possiblilities out there. It's finding them that is hard. Most of us never know what we were want to do. The best cure for boredom is helping someone else. Start your own business, take care of an elderly person while their caregiver goes shopping and get a break from it. You can also find you may make a good friend you can talk to . Good luck.

Not really. I mean I have two healthy awesome kids, a nice home, but I am becoming totally deattached to my husband. We have been married 8 years and things have totally changed. We use to do stuff together all the time. Now it is like pulling teeth to get him to spend time with us. He is loves working and works almost every day, even though his doesn't have to. He seems to be able to only handle a couple hours of family stuff on the week-end , before he is restless and off again. I am lonely. I used to be married to my best friend. Now I feel like it is just me and the kids and another now on the way. I have talk to him about it but he doesn't seem to be able or want to change.

I am 23
Together with hubby for 9 years...
2 kids 4 and 8 months..
I love my family, my life, my house.. but I do wish I could out there and see more things.. go traveling more.. but i just look at it like " the kids will be older one day and they can travel with us.. or they can even stay at grandparents" ya know?
we all feel bored sometimes.. feel like we could be doing more.. want to do different things... Just stop and think about what you "do" have..and what you love about your life. Sometimes a good trip to the beach or a different state with your family for the weekend can cure those blues that you are having right now.

I'm 51, married 25 years. I'm at the top of my game in my career, home and "toys". I have my health, kids and I'm livin the American dream. My middle class life's about as good as it's gonna get. Except my wife has put the rest of her life first, and there's nothing left for me. And it's not for a lack of trying, several women friends have told me she's missing out. So I'd give it a 3.

hm.... there are certainly various little issues that upload up and make my day =) like say, observing an episode of pals ( that usually places me in a good temper) or play a sprint with my prominent parrot Dodo or get a call from my mom asking how am I doing... however the terrific certainly one of all is going to sleep at evening and understanding that for the period of a few moments i'm going to be asleep, and so this crapy fact will end a clean one ( granted no longer a real one) will initiate and final till at last morning =)

Edward De Bono
Unhappiness is best defined as the difference between our talents and our expectations..
Francoise de Motteville:
The true way to render ourselves happy is to love our work and find in it our pleasure.
HH the Dalai Lama:
When we feel love and kindness toward others, it not only makes others feel loved and cared for, but it helps us also to develop inner happiness and peace.
HH the Dalai Lama:
If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.
Helen Keller:
Happiness cannot come from without. It must come from within. It is not what we see and touch or that which others do for us which makes us happy; it is that which we think and feel and do, first for the other fellow and then for ourselves.
Well, i am happy.

i have kids, no husband, no desire for a husband. I am very happy in life and I guess I'd say 9, winning a lottery may push that to a 10.

I thank God, I'm happily married, have two kids and I feel really satisfied, but sometimes I think that I miss the good old days when we used to go out each night and have fun.
BUT ALL IN ALL I'm QUITE HAPPY.
