What is happily ever after? Does it really exist? What do you do once you get there?
Anna and Matt, journalists and authors of the Sunday Times bestseller Parenting the Sh*t Out of Life, have been together for over ten years. They set out to discover what it takes to make it to forever by travelling the world to seek the answers to our greatest questions about love: How do you know youve got a keeper? Are we better off solo? How long does love last?
In seeking these answers, Anna and Matt are forced to confront the daily niggles and a passive aggressions that have accumulated throughout their relationship. How can you avoid exploding at your partner because they have left crumbs all over the counter again? Through shared tears, laughter, one improperly discarded toenail clipping and many lost bank cards, Wheres My Happy Ending? offers insight and advice from world-leading relationship experts, therapists, a lollipop lady and a fisherman on what it really means to find and keep love today.
Join Anna and Matt on a searingly honest journey of their experiences in love and marriage with two small children, while navigating the often muddy waters of modern romance in a world where the odds seem stacked against you. Every chapter contains the dual voices of the authors sharing their individual perspectives and anecdotes from their life together, as well as from their research with romance novelists, celibate monks, neurologists and the founders of a free love commune. At a time where it feels like the arguments outweigh the bunk-ups, this belly-laugh inducing book is a study on whether love and relationships could be simpler or more complex than we think.

Acknowledgements

Firstly, wed like to thank everyone who weve quoted in these pages. Thank you to those friends and strangers who allowed us to peek into their lives in the most intimate way. Thank you to our families, who allowed us to share more of their lives than might reasonably be expected.

Thanks to Heart radio for opening up the door to so many interesting interviewees through the Ellie & Anna Have Issues show and podcast. It is the shows producers, Elena Guthrie and Lawrence Hall, who put us in touch with Saamirah and the throuple: Cathy, Thomas and Nicole.

A huge thanks needs to go to our literary agent, Abigail Bergstrom, who has that rare ability to encourage while critiquing. Everyone needs the trusted friend who tells you theres spinach in your teeth.

Thank you to all those academics and researchers whose work has been so helpful in separating whimsy from fact and helping to explain why we sometimes feel the ways that we do. And thanks to those who took the time to explain months of work and complex conclusions in easily quotable ways.

Thanks to these organisations for gathering all that work in navigable libraries, much of it available for free: academia.edu, the American Psychological Associations PsychNet, JAMA Network, PMC and the U.S. National Institutes of Healths National Library of Medicine, Research Gate, Sage Journals, Semantic Scholar, Springer Link, Taylor & Francis Online. You have taken us down hundreds of curious wormholes.

Thanks to the stat gatherers at the UK Office of National Statistics and US Census Bureau and General Social Survey. People dont often thank stat gatherers, but without you, wed know much less.

Thanks to the many journals that first bring interesting research to public attention, including, but not limited to: BMC Psychiatry, Journal of Sexual Medicine, Psychologies, Psychology Today, Science.

Thanks to Relate and Alain de Botton and The School of Life, which do so much to make the big questions feel easier to manage.

Thanks to Frederick at Tamera, who gave up several days of his life to guide Matt around and introduce him to remarkable people whose stories could have filled a book on their own.

Its also here that we need to thank Phillip Bodenham, whose Whitstable AirBnB cottage was where we wrote a significant chunk of the book to escape the infant hollering. We were paying to stay there, but without him we wouldnt have found Britains oldest fisherman, and his love of the area and recommendations helped us feel less isolated when in the writing hole.

And wed also like to thank everyone who we spoke to, in person or online, but whose words we couldnt use for one reason or another those interviewees who generously gave up time to speak to us, including all those followers of @mother_pukka and @papa_pukka who shared their stories: each tale revealed something wonderfully human, and were sorry we couldnt use more of them. Three hundred or so pages really arent very much with all those tales to tell.

To our girls, who werent really sure what we were doing but continue to use our first book as a doorstop.

And thanks to you for taking the time to read this book. None of us have much of it, and we hope you found this to be time well spent.
