I don't want to be trapped in a sexless marriage with a passive aggressive woman that shows disdain for me because I am not the same as her dad was to her mom, and so I too may not remarry because why should I? I don't need to partner up to raise children or pay my bills. Since the relationship I want isn't out there, why would I settle for a temporary partnership that ends with someone asking why they should settle?
Oh, I know, some people will say 'there's someone out there that is this, or that is that'. No, there isn't.
Ok, Zues, Sunny took the bait. Of course there is. How can you be on this site and not see that there are still people out there that believe in life-long M?
I went to my IC yesterday for the first time in months. I hadn't seen her since my D was final, so we talked about that some and dissected some feelings around it. There was a point where I said that I still believed Mr. P took the convenient way out and that had he and I both fought for our M, it could have worked out. My IC was surprised that I'd say that, not because she didn't think the M could be saved, but she knows I'm actually happier now than I was in my M. And yet, I was sitting there saying I'd fight again to save it. Yes, Zues, there is someone out there. I'm one.
