I live with my parents and two siblings. How about you?

I live with my husband. He is sweet, cares about me, and gets me almost everything I want. My friends told me that they wanted to marry him. He stealthily says, smiling, "Hell, no! I like neither old bags nor fats." Hardly anybody knows he is devilish.

1. Alternatively, you can say, "I reside with my husband, who's incredibly thoughtful and attentive to my needs, often going out of his way to fulfill my wishes."
That's funny. How long have you been married? What's the difference between living with parents and living with a husband?

We've been married for over ten years. I'll add some information to defend him. It can't be helped if he dislikes those of my friends. One of them lied to a man that she got pregnant and needed an abortion to get money. My husband and I are pro-life. Another dumped her ex-husband after draining all his assets. They are atheists and only believe in devils. Well, living with parents deprives new couples of something romantic in tiny Japanese housing circumstances. If my parents are living on the same property, I will lose intimate feelings toward my husband.

1, 2. We use the second conditional to talk about hypothetical or imaginary situations. The second conditional uses the past simple after if, then “would” and the infinitive: if + past simple… would + infinitive.
Wow, sounds like you've been through quite a bit with your friends. It's good to have someone who shares your values and stands by you. Ten years is a significant amount of time to be married. How do you maintain the spark in your relationship after all these years? And what do you think is the most important aspect of a successful marriage?

In a few years, the spark was gone. I have enjoyed dating other men, and it is so much fun. Still, my husband is happy. The most crucial aspect is constantly feeling thankful. Also, I never listen to others' useless opinions and advice. People who don't deserve advice others do it, while people who give helpful advice don't do it easily.

1. Since you're talking about the past here, use the past tense.
2. It would be clearer to use this form here.
