[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dated 2 years before getting engaged, but 6 months of that was long distance. That hides a lot. Engaged for 8 months only. Married 10 long miserable years. There was pressure to make a decision due to long distance. I wanted to break up. He wanted to get married. He and my family convinced me...I should have listened to my gut.

We should have stopped seeing each other after a fight at 4 months of dating. We brushed it under the rug. We were not compatible...ever.

I knew I wanted to marry an ex boyfriend after only 3 dates...this guy I wanted to not even walk down the aisle that day but it felt too late to cancel although I was thinking of canceling the entire engagement. I was not happy and felt like my life was over.

Now...I don't think timing matters much. When you know, you know. Meeting an abitrary time deadline does not lead to success necessarily.

My parents dated 5 years. It was a bad marriage as well. They are still miserably married.

Why did you marry him? You wanted to break up! That’s a big red flag that you shouldn’t commit to forever with this person.[/quote]

Family and social pressure. Obviously, I should have listened to me gut instead of letting others convince me my gut was wrong. He was also an inconsiderate emotional abuser. That did not help. [/quote]
