Had our tenth anniversary this year, things seem to be going pretty well.

Great to hear. It's always about compromise isn't it?

  My father-in-law told my wife and I early on in our marriage "Try for 50-50, but if each of you feels like you're the 60% of a 60-40 compromise,  that's pretty typical, so just let it go."
Wise words that have helped keep the peace.

Golden nugget of wisdom.

Sometimes it's going to be 70-30 because one of us has things to do. If your mate has important shit to do, picking up the slack and making it easier rather than harder makes for a good relationship.

I'm sorry to inform you that you are mistaken. The science clearly shows that you're unhappy, please present yourself accordingly.
