After losing David who was the ONLY man I ever truly loved, I have made the hard choice to stop pursuing the goals of getting married and having kids!! !

I don't want to restart the dating cycle all over again just to try and reach this elusive goal!

What do you guys think?

If you never get married, you never have to go through divorce ^_^

...breaking up with kids involved is still pretty messy, though...

Well, marriage IS the single most leading cause of ALL divorces, right?  Besides, marriages end in only one of two ways: Divorce or Death.  None of this bodes well for the "Happy Ever After" myth.

Could you dedicate like a small part of your time looking for marriage instead of everything?

But what about your side?

And for the time being, I would tread cautiously with getting married OP, for the near future at least

I mean...even famous singers like Taylor Swift got to the goal before I did!! !

And NOBODY thought she would ever get married!

The issue is that David was the only man for me and now that he is gone I don't really want to start over with dating
