Do you have no interest in getting married? Have you always felt this way?

I'm married now, but if we were to ever get divorced, this is it. I will never get married again because it's too much stress and marriage changes everything about that person you are with. I'd rather be with someone as a boyfriend rather than a husband. I'd probably not live with them though until I knew them for at least 5 years, and I'd probably not introduce them to my kids until I was ready for them to be ready. Kids are too precious and they get hurt faster than anyone of us, so it's very, very important to me that they are ready and will understand why I've decided to move on from their father. But really would never get married again because it's just not worth it in the end.

wow...interesting. Thank you for sharing your story. I must have a weird ideal of what marriage will be like. It is good to hear different viewpoints.

Marriage is hard work, and it's not always for everyone. My husband and I have a lot of problems, mainly his. We are separated, and he just recently decided that he wants to have an open relationship. However, his wishes are different from mine. He has a girlfriend and doesn't want me to have a boyfriend. It's like he wants his cake and eat too, but I'm not really that type of girl. He says that he loves me, but I'm starting to feel very different about him now. It's probably inevitable; we'll probably be divorced by the end of 2013. I don't really like sharing.

This is super interesting! Im the exact opposite -- I had a convo with a friend about this the other day. I was asked "could you really see yourself with one person forever??" no question...absolutely! And she said she could never see herself with one person for more than 5 years. I dont even see it as a paper thing...just as a commitment to another person. Thanks for your answer! I like to get different perspectives :)

Yes, I have always known. Firstly because I didn't believe anybody would like to marry me. Secondly, I could never understand why it is so important anyway.

I wanted to be married when I was younger, because I equated that with having someone with whom to share life, but I found out my first husband was a sex offender and my second husband decided he didn't want to be around a child AFTER we were married, even though I already had one when we met, so he has spent more years working away from home than living AT home. Now that my son has grown up and moved out, my husband is seriously trying to find work close enough to live with me -- but sadly, I no longer want him here, but I don't have the guts to tell him. Do I want to be married? If there really were someone out there with whom I am compatible on an every day living together basis and I KNEW it for a fact, then yes, but I don't trust my ability to figure that out BEFORE the marriage, so probably if my current marriage ends, I am DONE.
