BellaOnline Forums Relationships Divorce maybe this is the wrong forum

But I am just despairing right now... I feel all around me everyone is either unhappily married or divorced or divorcing... I have never married... i am 33 and with someone who because of reasons above "doesnt believe in marriage"... despite all that I just cant stop believing... am I foolish to want it even though it would seem that its a failed institution? should i just resign myself to understanding that there is no such thing as forever only for now and just date until im too old and crotchety and cant get out of my hospital bed no more? sorry... sounds trolly/ranty but man getting depressed :(

Divorce does seem to be more prevalent today than ever before. But, take courage. I know many couples that have very happily married for over 40 years, some of them in my own family.

Do not give up on your dreams/hopes because of what others do...or not do. I think using the "there are so many failed marriages and divorces" as an excuse to not get married is just that...an excuse to not say the truth and to not make a committment until they find the person they truly want to marry.

It doesn�t mean that everyone gets a divorce now a days, there are really happily married couples out there, don�t get overwelmed by all the negative talk, a long marriage could happen to you, don�t give up hope.
