Yes but I wasn't dumb enough to get married in the first place.

thanks bro. I was worn down for so long it was pretty freeing, as much as it is still tough to go through with the cheating and everything.

…
In the Bible, Malachi 2:16 says, "For I hate divorce," says the Lord, the God of Israel. The passage also says that God:
Does not listen to those who have broken the covenant of marriage
Abhors any deviation from His design for marriage
Never intended divorce to be part of human experience
Some say that God values marriage because it's a picture of the covenant between God and His people, and a covenant is an unbreakable commitment. God also created marriage to represent the greatest unity that humans can experience


I would also imagine that God HATES PORNwatching too!

I can only imagine - but a lot (if not most) men would have let that kill their outlook on women afterward and you've always seemed to stay above it

Is what it is



Anyone will change tomm ,anyone

And nothing in life is without sacrifice

Don't ever forget it

Catholics don’t get divorced, and I don’t want to end up in Hell for all eternity. So no?

Avoiding divorce is easy. Just find the right woman.
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

Mine was just fully and finally completed yesterday. Happy to never have to think about that again.

I'd get married again but would do a better job of vetting and protecting myself up front.

Yup. & a few years later I could still afford to buy a house, go on trips, etc

Zero regrets. Everyone involved is better off (me, our kid, and I think she is as well as my gut says she learned a thing or two but also found a partner who seems happy to let her call all the shots).

I guess the worst case scenario is divide your net worth in half, subtract extra for legal fees as needed, and then take into consideration the potential alimony/child-support from future incomes.

I'm unmarried but net worth is around $250k-275k at age 29. If/when I get married hopefully I'll be at $500k+.

good post. i feel the same.
My choices cut me like a knife but only when I let myself forget the options that were available to me. I picked what was right for me. I stayed true to myself. No path is without pain. But the path I took was the least painful.
The things I crave most take me deeper into a kind of wild aloneness. It's not a trial, more like a quest. I don't envy the married women i see. they seem hemmed in and diminished somehow. As if they've lost track of themselves after years of compromise. I wish everyone well, but I know I'm way to sensitive to get rooster pecked every day.

Did she pass away or did you break up?

What do you mean you're not willing to get backed into a corner?

I can afford it, worse case scenario. I barely know how to spend the money I have since I ended up enjoying living a simple life more than an extravagant one. Just hoping to retire early. Worse case scenario, I don't retire as early as I hoped.

Yes, but love my wife. Marriage is hard though. I’m not worried about the money part if I ever get divorced. It’s my children. My children are happy and secure, I want to make sure of that, that is #1 priority. Therefore, I would do everything to avoid divorce.
