Woman. Married in late 20s. Didn't even consider that marriages might be hard or easy. I have to say ... easy.

Sounds like you might have more of an expectations problem than a relationship problem. How "should" you love someone? Do you love him? Being together that long must mean you've shared a lot. How can you said it hasn't worked?

God no! Why the hell would I punish myself in such a manner? Just to claim I'm married? Money? Looks? Desperate? No thanks!

My best friend did. They've been married 15 years. She's not happy. He's a multimillionaire (we are talking over 100 million at least in his stocks), so I guess that helps.
