In my adult life I've been single for around 15 years, and married for 15 years. Despite having a lot of fun being single, I greatly preferred being married. It obviously sucked at times, but it was probably the best 15 years of my life (getting a career, having a kid, buying a home, etc).

But, since I"m too old to have/want anymore kids, I can't think of even one logical reason to ever marry again. The risk is not worth the reward. Betting 50% of everything you have on someone never cheating on you, getting 'bored', becoming 'unhappy', etc is not a wise choice.

Yes, I'm bitter. lol. I told W last night that I got the D petition, and I'll be calling a realtor today. She started saying 'we should wait till we have everything that needs done around the house finished', and I said 'that's almost an impossibility, so I"m moving forward now'.
