DO women secretly compare their marriages to ther couples'?

Or are you envious of certain characteristics that other marriages/husbands have that you wish you had in your own?DO women secretly compare their marriages to ther couples'?
Secretly??....lol....there is nothing secret about it.....I think it is human nature to stack up your marriage, children, and life in general and see how it compares to others....It may not be healthy....but it sure isn't unusual.....DO women secretly compare their marriages to ther couples'?
I think that if you are unhappy in your marriage then ya you would compare your relationship with other couples around you. But i think that can be dangerous. My friend started doing that and she ended up falling in love with our friends husband. She told me but not our other friend of course and it put me in the middle and in a tight spot. She started flirting with him when she thought her husband and our friends husband wasn't looking. At first he just brushed her off but then he started flirting back. Then i caught them kissing one night at dinner party we were all having. I couldn't believe it that they were kissing with their spouses in the next room. I ended up telling my friends that i knew what they were doing and if they didn't tell their spouses then i would. Well they did tell but they also told their spouses that they wanted to be together and that they wanted divorces. This has broken up friendships and destroyed lives all because my friend was feeling unloved from her husband. Instead of talking with him she cheated on him and got her friends husband who was happy to cheat also. So i think that it is not a good idea to compare relationships, just work on your own.
I think people in general compare. Men and women look at other couples and often wonder if they measure up....it's natural....sometimes I might say to my husband....';wow! I'm sure glad we don't bicker like that!'; or after leaving someone's house we might say ';they must work really hard as a team to get that house so spotless...maybe we can do that too..';


Human nature to observe the world around you (or people) and look for similarities and/or things you like or dislike.


I love my relationship...it's not ever perfect...nor do we pretend that it is. So many couples act so innocent and perfect in front of others....then you hear they're getting a divorce.....as they say...never judge a book by it's cover!
Well everyone that See's me and my husband out they think we are happy so let me tell you something no one and I say no one has the perfect marriage it takes two but it will never be perfect because we are not perfect! And me and my hubby are far from happy behind closed doors we can not stand each other! so no need to wish you had someone Else's marriage!
I do not compare, because if I did, I would most likely get depressed. Besides, what YOU see might be far from what the relationship is behind closed doors and out of sight.
honestly, no. i'm not trying to be prideful or whatever but i seriously think people should be jealous of my marriage. i wouldn't change anything about my husband or our marriage %26amp; i know he feels the same. =]
of course they do...





they also compare rings, sex lives, money, house, car... they are never happy unless they have the best and everyone else is jealous...





it is quite sad...
I guess on occasion we all do.. One characterstic or another we or our partner may not have that we like. Something you see in another.. The old saying no one is perfect.
No, everyone has problems I dont fancy wishing I had someone elses, I have my own.
They do all the time, and they imagine that other marriages are much happier than theirs.
I am the opposite. I see other couples and thank God we're not in their shoes.
no, if I have some problem in my marital life, I would try and work things out.
i think so from the women i have talked to
of course , we are human beings!!!
