Is it crazy to consider marrying someone that you do not even love? This is what happened in my first marriage. I married a woman because I loved her as a person, and I believed she loved me, but I was never in love. I truely believe that I could have been content in that marriage until I finally realized how selfish she was to the point where it was no longer possible for me to believe she loved me. When the marriage ended, I still felt as though I loved her in many ways, but I no longer could stay in the marriage.
I have only been in love once in my life to someone that basically did not return that love. That experience sucked. Now that I am approaching 50, I no longer expect to ever fall in love again. I do not feel destitute over this, I merely accept it as a statistical likelihood. I would like to find a companion who perhaps can share a loving relationship without necessarily being in love. I miss a life companion more that I miss a lover or being in love.
Thus I repeat the question, is it crazy to consider marrying a person that I have a loving relationship with, but am not in love with at my age?
