In hindsight, I got married for the wrong reasons: 1) We had a child together and I thought it was "the right thing to do, 2) I thought he would change and actually start acting like a man 3) I just wanted to be married without realizing what I was getting myself into....I could go on and on. After 10 years and a nasty divorce, I am very hesitant about legally getting married again. I had to give him half of my retirement, take on half of our credit card debt which I didn't even know existed because he opened and hid these credit cards from me......even though during our marriage he screwed me over financially due to his drinking and gambling addiction. On top of that I paid an attorney $20k in fees just to get through this divorce and it took a year an a half to settle. Very emotionally and physically draining to say the least. I'm in a relationship with a wonderful man now who I can count on and I never worry about what he's doing behind my back, but I'm definitely tainted by what I went through. Wondering what your thought are if you were or are in a similar situation.
