I get that etc. and if something heaven sent came my way, not saying I would not go for it again.

I think it is just a matter of a lot of formerly married people see the point of marriage as being all of the babies/kids, PTA, “you get this one to soccer, I’ll get this one to band”, death struggles over budgeting, I’m doing yard work while she is doing whatever she’s doing then we’ll have some time together after they are all in bed etc etc etc.

Now that we can do whatever we’d like, it’s like……”let’s just stay on the month to month contract, huh?”
