Yeah, I love my life. Great wife. Great kids. Great family. Great friends. What’s not to love? ---

I would say yes. There are a few part of it I don’t love, but on the whole, I’m very happy. ---

> [@Ravenman](#): > > This thread makes my life happy. We haven’t heard from **PSXer** ’s friend in some time, and I was starting to wonder if the friend had gotten a mental girlfriend. Me too! Answer to OP question: Mmmmhm. Got three decent kids, a happening love life, my freelance business is starting to really take off, we’re paying off the credit cards, and I’m surrounded by people who like me. Things are good. ---

The movie wasn’t boring or anything… I was just really tired. 😛 Trying again now! ---

> [@Dung\_Beetle](#): > > Sufficiently. It’s certainly better than what I deserve. “Deserve has got nothing to do with it.” I’m probably as happy with my life right now as I think I’ve ever been, so yah, I love it. Could be better, but certainly could be so much worse. It’s the ride that’s important. ---

The part where the three of them paint themselves up and sneak in and subsequently kill the fuck out of everyone is one of the coolest half hours of cinema I’ve experienced. 😃 ---

Yes, I’d have to say that on the whole I do love my life right now. Great job, great wife, great toddler son. Sure, I can think of things that could be better. I mean, nothing is ever perfect. But overall things are great. ---

> [@Nzinga\_Seated](#): > > ETA: Kelly, one can love their life and be content, right? I mean, not striving for happiness doesn’t mean you can’t love your life, does it? Hmm.. there’s very, very few things in my life I would say I “love”. My partner. My family. My friends.. anything else? Not that I can think of. I think contentment and happiness are at different positions but on the same scale. Love is a fairly intense emotion, and intense emotions are ones I use extremely sparingly. So at least in the way that I have “programmed” my mind to think, no, I don’t think I can be both content with, and in love with, my life, at the same time. YMMV. ---

It’s okay. I remember what loving life felt like, and this ain’t it. So I guess that’s a no. But I think I COULD love life again if I could find a special someone. 🙂 ---

I like my life–good kid, good job with good income, good place to live–it’s all good. It’ll be _great_ when, in 3 1/2 years, I retire and move to my “place up north” permanently. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/do-you-love-your-life/596131.md?page=2)
