I'll give it a shot if there's mutual interest, but I won't stay with someone I can't trust. It's also possible that I can trust someone, they can trust me, and we just drift apart after a while or don't have the same interests. June Cleaver would never cheat on me, but I'm pretty sure she wouldn't react very favorably if I suggested she strap on some gravity boots and 69 while hanging upside down.
I see why you see me as on the fence, but I think you also seem to be. I want my relationship based on mutual trust but don't really find the traditional way of doing things appealing, while you like the traditional marriage and family idea (which comes with loving each other till death do you part,) but are afraid it won't work out that way and worry that your worst fears are true.
I think this is one of those things where we have to agree to disagree. I hope you find someone who never makes you suspicious enough to want to snoop, because it sounds like some people in the past have screwed you over pretty badly and you blame your "choices in men," and probably at least subconsciously feel responsible, which you shouldn't.

The annual divorce rate is 3.6 per 1000 people. The marriage rate is 7.5 per 1000. This doesn't take into account the 54.5 million married couples out there. Yes, for every 2 couples married this year, one will divorce, but there are a whole lot of people who were already married who will stay married, and the ones who divorce are not all from this year's new marriages. It's a really deceptive statistic.
