The idea that someone thinks that they can make such a promise is patently absurd to me.

I almost got married when I was 23. Date set, invitations ordered, out of state family planning to fly in etc. But I realized this was a heavy commitment and didnt trust myself to be able to say the vows and mean them from the bottom of my heart.

So if I ever do get married, that guy can know Im making a genuine commitment, one Ive never made to any one else, in my opinion thats how it should be.

It’s also immature behavior to judge what other people do or try to get inside their marriages or divorces....or if & when they decide to date again.....
Its not immature to have high standards. You take marriage more lightly than most, I dont judge you but I hold different values is all.

Good for you for knowing it wasn't right. 23 is too young IMO to get married anyway. It IS a big deal.

I don’t take marriage lightly...Lol....I take it realistically & think people who are divorced should still be able to date & find love...it’s why I said so in this thread silly

Me too. If I had dismissed him for still technically being married, I'd a) have been a hypocrite (b/c I was going through the same thing @ the same time he was) & b) missed out on a great, wonderful man who is now my husband and perfect for me
