[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  No, don’t have an AP- dating, single (guess I’ll be berated for that too?(  I just see a lot of posts from people saying how miserable they are and wanted to see the reasoning.  My parents were divorced, and my mom left as soon as she had the means to.

To the poster with the children with special needs- I apologize if I came off as insensitive.  I can definitely see why in this case it is more helpful for everyone to have the family unit stay together.[/quote]

I think if you are single, it’s hard to understand.  I think it’s easier to think of a marriage relationship more like your relationship with your parents when you were growing up.  Your spouse is your immediate family.  It’s not like dating.

- you have probably had ups and downs, and had months or even years (teenage years?) where you didn’t like her very much, then years where you are very close
-  if you were to end that relationship, a lot of people would be affected.  Of course, in the case of abuse, a child or teen should take the appropriate steps to advocate for themselves.  
-  you can live with someone for a long time and not really interact with them [/quote]
