LostHope Posted April 10, 2007 Posted April 10, 2007 I am a middle-aged male. I was divorced about 2 1/2 years ago, and have had two relationships since my divorce. I went into both relationships with the hope of getting remarried. Today my second relationship just ended, and I am sad, depressed and unhopeful of ever finding someone that I am compatible with for marriage. I was the one who ended the relationship. More than ever in my life, I feel that marriage (or a live-in relationship mirroring marriage) often destroys a good relationship. I say this because although two people can enjoy each others company, personality and warmth, the complexities of day to day life can overrun the things that attracted each to the other. I feel now that I no longer want to get married ever again. Perhaps if I am fortunate I can find someone who would like a comitted, loving and caring relationship without having a legal stamp of authenticity. In such a relationship, giving, and sharing are voluntary, and not expected or mandated by law.
