Since we're focused on relationships here, find someone who has a successful marriage or relationship and use that person as a source of sound counsel (I don't mean "use" as in take advantage of). I'm not going to sit around with a bunch of other women who are not having success with men and expect to come away with healthy words of wisdom. I just think the quickest way to end a depressing drama is to not let it begin. Seek counsel from experienced people in your lives.

But what makes a successful marriage IYO? As many aspects of one's relationship/marriage are private (as they should be) as an outsider you don't really get to determine what is and isn't a successful marriage. All you see is what the couple portrays to the outside world (sometimes very consciously). Many a marraige has stood the test of time have been tried by the very things you've said you wouldn't put up with.
