[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn’t want to lose myself in a relationship. Thought that if I was less into the guy I would be better able to maintain my independence & not cave. Also, as you can tell marriage just want a priority for me. So a nice, intelligent, friendly, responsible  guy came along... & I figured, why not? 
The marriage is boring- but functional. I invest very little into it. [/quote]

Wow.  Fascinating.  What's your life like?  Kids? Are you super into your job/hobbies/sport?  If you care so little about relationships/marriage, then why get married at all?  Is your spouse ok with this?  (None of this is critical; just curious.)[/quote]
Our life is ok, I think. We have 1 kiddo (unplanned)!& we are good parents. No fighting- it’s like living with a sibling. I am a teacher and put a lot into my job, but I’m not a rain maker. I just really like freedom/independence. I like to travel alone, time for reading ect. I’ll also add that he doesn’t just sit around the house. He has soccer, a healthy group of friends ect. We do a lot of coordinating schedules, which I don’t think is different than love based relationships. We have FHE 2 nights a week. We do family things ect. He really wanted to get married. I was fine living together indefinitely. But he was pumped to get married. So I figured, why not? As we get older I think he longs for more of partnership vs. trade off marriage. So we will see how this plays out. [/quote]

What is FHE?[/quote]
