We frequently hear from folks who are not happily married.  While there is clearly no such thing as a perfect marriage, there are many that are generally good.  How many guys on here are happily (or fairly happily) married?

An oxymoron would be a "depressed hobbyist batchelor"

  They go hand and hand,  Happy hobbying + married= A happy married couple!

I've been happily married 30+ years. I hobby when I am out of town on business (have done that as long as I can remember.)

Wife has a medical condition which prevents us from having sex

Been married 15 years, been hobbying the last 3 years. Yes I am very happily married. You can have it all, you just have to be careful. Life is short and we are just men after all. I love p***y.

( An oxymoron would be a "depressed hobbyist batchelor")

  To some extent you're right. However if you are single and a hobbyist the freedom of no SO is still governed by your disposable income. The true oxymoron would be:
"depressed RICH hobbyist batchelor"

 Somehow that pesky "money" factor is always there

Married almost 18 years and love my family....

Just need some spice and variety at times.  The hobby is "scratch to my itch"...

Married 24 years, love the family

Happy sometimes:Those of us married that long know the deal.

It get's more difficult to practice the 10 commandments of love while trying to keep the 5 stages of hobbying on the above
subject in balance."Up on the tightrope wire....Sing it Leon!

Cheers!

I couldn't ask for more from one person than my wonderful wife gives me. That is why I go to providers, there I can ask for things that do not interest my wife.

Yes, I've been happily married for 20 years!  My wife and I have a good life together (with our two children).  Our sex life was wonderful up until she was pregnant with our second child.  She lost her desire, mainly due to several different allergies, causing headaches, then eventually had a hysterectomy.  I thought that things would improve after that, but they haven't.  We haven't been intimate in over 6 years.  I'm not happy about it, but going to a provider has filled the void, nicely.

Basically happily married most of the time for over 20 years. Very happily married for the last 3 years, during which I have been hobbying only when away from home on business (hence the handle).

Very happy all the time - we both are. I'm just too damn curious. I just booked my very first provider for tomorow. Wish me luck boys and girls.

I just hope your "curiousity" does not upset your current marrital bliss.

  enjoy carefully

   YKSY.

Meant to post this in this thread but posted in thread a few above. Oh well..applies to both. So, here it is again:

97% of my clients are married (down from the 100% a bit ago) and they all say they are happily married. All but two (and not everyone discusses their 'home life' either) mentioned that sex is satisfying at home, and even that their wives are more beautiful today than when they married.
This makes me happy. As a confirmed, 'til-death-do-I-part bachelorette, I find it heartwarming to see or hear about happy marriages.
I know many of the ladies will agree with me how delighted we are to be the 'oasis' for you all..
smacking your bottoms on the way out, sending you back home..smiling, of course..

Which is not supposed to be addicting as hobbying if taken correctly

Kind of like a ray of hope.

I've been very happily married to a wonderfully terrific woman for 2 decades.  A couple of times a year I travel OUS and she knows that I'll have a night or two while gone.  A couple of years ago before I left on one trip she even commented that she better be the ONLY LOVE in my life, regardless of what I might do on the trip.  She is.

May all those with happy marriages keep them that way and may all the others get to experience what we have.

Very happy most of the time for over 16 years.  Very little sex these days as the wife is mostly uninterested.  I think she fools around a little herself and I'm happy if she is doing it with some guy she likes.  Hell, she deserves it!  Just as I'm real happy with my ATF and I feel it only makes me a better husband and father at home.  My wife is real tolerant of my behavior and she must know that I do this by now.  I've told her that I would never leave her and that is the truth, so she has no fears of me fooliing around.  She just wants me to come home at night...
