Someone had a thread about their "mom pushing them towards divorce" and I noticed several posts of "you're married because you can't live w/o her!" (paraphrased). So, I was wondering what the sentiment is around here from the masses...obviously we have a chunk of people here who've been married, divorced, remarried, lifetime single...etc...What do you all think to the question?
Also, If you're in the marriage club, and you "can't see your life w/o your spouse" what are you plans? Obviously outside of a murder/suicide (said in jest)...Go out like the Notebook?
I married at 38. I lived a long time without a spouse. It wouldn't be my preference to do so again, especially now that I am a parent, and one who enjoys coparenting. But if I lost my spouse and had to do so, of course I could and would do it. I tend to think more along the lines of being widowed than marriage dissolution, but the same reality applies, either way. I don't like to think of a world in which he is no longer my partner, but I know that life throws curveballs.
With my ex, I eventually saw myself as enjoying life without her more than with her. So I moved on.
This time, I'd really like to have my wife in my life for as long as possible. I could survive and move on if something happened to her, but it would be very, very difficult. It is something I had to think about today, as she went in for a serious surgery. The potential for loss puts many things into perspective.
I would be unhappy but you keep living. There would be the obvious time where you deal with the loss but thats the normal grieving stages.
I dont think life would be as enjoyable without her. My wife is a gentle caring good hatred person. I am a little more rough and tend to be less gentle.

Yep. Military spouse.
