[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Widowed for over 15 years. FWBs only for me.

Marriage is highly overrated.[/quote]

Wow.  In retrospect do you think that your marriage to your wife who left you a widow was a good marriage?  Are you happy that you married her or do you think you would have been happy living life as a single man?[/quote]

I think OP is a woman. [/quote]

Yes, I realized after I asked the question that pp was talking about the death of her husband of 15 years.  Not her wife.  But the question is pretty much the same.  Did she have a good marriage and is she glad that she married her husband or does she think she would have been happier living life as a single woman.[/quote]

Op here - absolutely, so good in fact that I can't imagine ever replicating. Having said that, I'm not the marrying type. Had a hard time committing at first and turned out to be the best decision of my life. Still, because "marriage" doesn't come natural, it's hard work. Doing what's right because you love someone, giving, sharing...for me, everything is simpler alone and while I can't imagine not having DH by my side, I can't imagine doing it again.[/quote]

+1. I lucked out meeting my DH in my 20s.  He'd be a very hard act to follow.
