[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess if I want to eventually get married again, I should only date men who say they also want to get married?

I’m so incredibly new to dating. In fact I’ve only had a handful of relationships. My marriage lasted 16 yrs. I just don’t know how to balance the need for a light hearted relationship in the present with a long term goal of getting married again.

I equate marriage with safety, stability, security. But I’m also terrified of marriage given the hell I went through in divorce. So ultimately I’m just confused.[/quote]

I think you need clarification.  If you've been in a bad marriage, then you understand that while marriage can provide safety, stability and security, it can also provide chaos, instability, and insecurity.  Maybe you like the idea of marriage, but not the reality?  Second marriages with kids are always harder than first marriages because you have divided loyalties and conflicting priorities.  Being a strong, single woman with a great group of girlfriends and a man who you can take or leave is going to give you more safety, stability, and security than marriage.  Marriage is risky, especially later in life. [/quote]
