Who else is happily divorced and never wants to marry again?

[Anonymous]

51 year old man here. I got divorced in 2020 and have absolutely no desire to ever marry again. I don’t really want to have a serious girlfriend either. An FWB would be perfect.

I am not sure why people are so scared to be alone.

I am long term separated, but not as long as you. Hiw come you stay separated instead of divorcing? Do you have any regrets?

And does your "friend" have no issues with the fact you're separated but not divorced (and don't look like youre headed for divorce if you've been separated for 8 years)? Asking without snark or judgement, since you can't hear tone on a post. Just wondering how he feels about it and why you're not choosing to divorce.

Me! I’m a 48 yo woman.

I have three kids who will leave the nest in the next 5 years. I date for fun- mostly younger- but am busy in a relationship with these teens (I have primary custody by a lot).

I’d I do partner up long term it’s definite that I will not marry again, and likely I won’t even cohabitate. I like my own space my own things and my own money. I enjoy cleaning up my own messes and living as I please. I am never lonely- and I look forward to knowing exactly what makes me happy as my kids leave the nest.

Me! I divorced at 42. I am now 45. Never marrying again. Ever.

I told a divorce attorney that at 40 and she did not believe me. I told her then I am never getting married again. My feelings have only intensified.

I will not have an empty nest for 10 years.

Mememe!

I'm 52 yo woman. Divorced last year, have adult kids and a younger one still. No interest in dating or marrying again. None.

I have a full time job, long commute, elderly parents nearby I see daily, my dc at home, involvement at church...my life is full!

I have no interest in dealing with another person. I'm not raising other people's kids and certainly not having any more. I love the freedom to do things how I want, go where I want (obviously my job and my dc's school schedule dictate when!), a man would just be a burden. Plus, my money is mine and for my kids-it's no huge fortune but it's all for them.

I have a very nice FWB. It works for us. I will never remarry.

Great dates. Regular sex. Life is good.

Didn't want to marry the first time, but had to for papers. Didn't marry the 2nd time. Will try not to marry the 3rd man. Having too much fun without getting married, thought I like him the best. Maybe when we are super old and money has been disbursed to heirs already.

Early 40s, mom of elementary school kids, divorced over 5 years. I have a longterm (currently long distance) partner. As of now, I'm not interested in marrying. I like my space and time with the kids. My concerns with marrying would be sharing space/time, adding additional burden/change to the kids (my ex is remarried with additional children), and how marriage would affect income for any college financial aid.

Woman here 45 yo. Dating is fun but I miss regular marital sex. How do you get regular sex if most OLD relationships last 2-4 months, and then you need to look for someone new ?

Remarriage rates are higher for men than for women, with 64% of divorced men remarrying compared to 52% of divorced women.

48% of divorced women never fall for that BS again. You’re in great company, OP.

My few close friendships, my dog, my (young adult) kids, traveling, fixing up my backyard garden, trying new recipes, and attending workshops at my local Buddhist temple. I had all of these things when I was married, though, with the exception of the workshops at the Buddhist temple. Having a meaningful and fulfilling life was never dependent on my ex. I'm 53, and I haven't been single since I was in my mid 20's. This feels different, and I like it. I don't want to marry again, but unlike the OP I would never say "never". I probably should have clarified that.

Can you recommend some temple workshops?

I'm you but my kids are young-ish and I just turned 40.

That's funny, I'm 40 and my divorce attorney absolutely believes me when I say "never again!"

Then again, my ex is so profoundly horrible that it lends credence to my claim.

Divorced DCUM women coping that they will never get remarried because they don’t need no man and totally not because no man wants an aging single mom, lmao.
