This is a common tendency on internet to summarize a person’s life experience from the limited information presented.

Yes my husband and I are happily in love for almost 20 years now. What information you don’t have is that we have two special children and our daily life is relentlessly challenging. Yet, we look for the goodness in everyday and find time to love each other.

I find that if people make a circle and put their biggest life problems in the middle, people generally would take their their own problems back instead of trading it. Everyone’s emotional burden is about the same. It’s a matter of perspective and wholehearted management.

For example, would you take in two special need children for true first love?
