277: Do ppl marry out of necessity, Assessing happiness, Contribution Anxiety

In today's show, the Dr's discuss:

1. My male friend told me he married his wife even though he was in love with an ex-girlfriend because he could trust her to be loyal whereas he couldn't trust his ex. How often do men do this? How good/bad of a situation is this for the wife who wants a reliable husband and father until death does them part(she might be concerned about him having an affair with the ex)?
2. How do I assess how to stimulate/encourage my brain's moods of happiness?
3. I've always been quite anxious but this feeling has worsened in the past two years. I always feel a sense of insecurity about the future as well as inferiority to everyone. I question my decisions and my capabilities. Is it a real fear that signals that I'm not "contributing to the village" or is it just my personality?
