My story is a little different. We got married young and it ended in his infidelity, which seems to be common in our age group. It took me awhile to realize what my pain was really about. It wasn't my love for him, it was the love I had for our dreams together. Dreams to buy a home, have children, travel. We had very specific ideas of where we wanted to be. And now I am back to being young and single, and while that sounds so shiny and new, I still have that "wife" in me, who wants a partner and that comfort of knowing you have someone next to you.
I am not sure if I will get married again, the hopeful part of me does, but the realistic can't help but think that a lasting marriage is an unrealistic dream.
Also... if there were as many papers to fill out and hoops to jump through to get married, maybe someone of us wouldn't have commited!
