    I've felt a couple of those things myself ........just won't say which hahahahaha !

    Children may fail as well but to take the "defeatist" attitude and say nothing to your children would be unwise as well

    Marriage is a legal status. The law makes no inquiry why anyone marries. It is similar to no test of who can best raise children. Pedophiles and violent abusers can still reproduce. I expect it is the business of the parties to the marriage. Friends of mine come from culture where arranged marriage was the norm. Those marriages seemed every bit as happy as those based on romance. In fact, they seemed to have a deeper commitment. It is a very recent step in human history that marriage has anything remotely like liking the other person. Marriages are about property rights, not love.

    @ Band on the run ... So to end a marriage with no major issues(based on the quote anyway ) except to say "I don't love you "... would this seem unjustified based on your

    quote or personal thoughts or is this an observation only , for us to consider ?

    this seems directly opposite to what FHN says (which I quote... one which I tend to agree with )

    Self sacrifice without some romantic love in a marriage sounds like cardboard

    So I make it a point to avoid any women who appear interested in me now. They don't need my fucking baggage.

    FinallyFree,

    Another poster put this quote on her FB page and I thought of you when I read it. It said:

    Everyone you meet comes with baggage. Find someone who loves you enough to help you unpack.

    I hope one day you find that person.

    Caliber,

    I don't know your personal circumstances, but only you can decide if you love someone enough to marry them or stay married to them. If the other person isn't sure of their love for you, hopefully they can resolve this problem soon so the both of you can make the best of your lives.

    When love is lost, do not bow your head in sadness; instead keep your head up high and gaze into heaven for that is where your broken heart has been sent to heal.
