I've been engaged twice, and failed to make it to the alter, wisely, each time. Neither person, when I looked at the big picture was the right one for me. Will I ever get married? my mother would sure like to think I would, but I don't know, I won't settle, and I've not met the man who's brave enough to commit to a lifetime with me. (Nicest word I can use to describe myself is that I'm difficult)
The divorce rate in the US is 60 percent because people seem to have no clue as to what marriage is all about, they get married for the wrong reasons, either to escapre something, they are afraid to be alone, or theyt don't think anyone else will ask. They don't give themselves enough credit, and that marriage is doomed to fail.
When/if I do get married, it will be the traditional kind. Forsaking all others... is part of what I believe traditional marriage is all about, and I don't think it's possible to have your cake and eat it too... you can't have mariage,a nd then continue to screw others, and not have it have a deleterious efffect on the marriage.
