The loneliness. I had this fantasy that I would no longer be lonely once I was married. WRONG! In fact, loneliness during marriage is almost worse than the loneliness I've experienced since I dumped my horrible, mean, cheating husband. I almost married once more but came to my senses. I've been single for the past 34 years. I got a home repair guide and learned how to fix things myself, but my neighbor guys were also helpful. Be brave!
I am still friends with my ex, but we are on different pages for sure now - mainly related to responsibilities. And when you have children, you need to be on point and not leave more for the other; it's been more than 15 years, and he still hasn't gotten it together.
No one tells you that marriage is not about love and that walking away is okay. I was married young, 24, and had been with my then-husband for eight years before we became engaged and married. No, he never hit me, he never cussed me out, but he did financially and emotionally abuse me. I dealt with that for six years, even going to therapy because I thought I was the problem. Then, one day, literally a week after our anniversary, I snapped and decided I was done.
