Hi TT,
It's a first marriage for me.
I didn't try very hard to save it.
I can't try very hard if stbxwh is not around all the time.

First and only marriage for my H and me.
We were married a couple of months after I turned 20.
We've now been married 31 years.

We've been married now for 29 years. Will we make it to 30? Only God knows and I really mean that. I'm trying hard because I never want to have any regrets about my marriage. I will either be in the marriage I want to be in with a man who wants the same thing or I won't have a marriage.
I'm not soured on marriage. From what I read here, I want one of the marriages like many of the recovered couples on this board have. I want a marriage based upon Marriage Builder principals. I want a partner who also believes and works towards that goal.

1-DD: Now also bigger than me!
5/6: Personally served CH with divorce papers
6/6: CH F? wants to time to see if M can be saved
7/6: FCH reenters our lives to work on marriage but secretly signs papers to start divorce...what's that about?

Hi TT.
First marriage for me.
I'm not sure if I ever want to get married again if/when my D is final. I'm not sure I could ever love anyone as much as I loved STBX.
Also, the statistics for second marriages aren't very encouraging, especially those that involve children from a first marriage. I've got used to being alone, and caring for my girls by myself. I'm just too independent, dang it!
But love is a chemical reaction, right? If the chemicals start working for me again, I might well go for it, but it certainly isn't top of my list of priorities at the moment.

No.
And from the sad tales some of you tell, I'm having serious doubts about being married again.
