I'm on marriage #2, having already done my "training marriage" of 15 years (I needed a lot of training). When things got rocky this time around, I insisted that we both go to counseling (something hubby#1 wouldn't do) and that saved us.

In my first marriage, everything was my fault because I was bipolar. That isn't true even with the extra problems bipolar causes. In my marriage now, we communicate constantly and this fixes 98% of our problems. We've been together for 8 years, married for 6, and really getting good at being married for 2 years.... which just happens to be the amount of time that I've been on Geodon, too.

My best advice about relationships is to be honest about them and don't give up on them; also, try and remember that relationships don't just mean PARTNERS. Relationships include friends and internet buddies too.
