[quote=Anonymous]My DH and I dated for 8 years.  I still married him after pushing for marriage; he agreed because he didn't want to lose me.  He has depression and self-esteem issues, but I genuinely love him and like him, so I thought marrying him was the thing to do.  I also was daunted about the possibility of finding someone else that I trust and "click with."  I still love him, but I regret the choice.  As soon as we got married, the next step was that he just needed a little more time to be ready for children.  (We had agreed to start trying on our honeymoon.)  Then, we couldn't without IVF.  Plus, getting married seemed to give him more leeway to be less of a person instead of more.  It as if knowing it would be hard for me to leave gave him license to be more irresponsible.  For example, he quit his job without telling me and went back to school.  He still isn't working 6 years later because he just isn't mentally ready to job hunt (but he will be soon, always "soon").  My life has become a string of "I need a little more time" or "I'm just not ready."  I'm not miserable, but I do think I could have done better for myself.[/quote]
