Thanks for the response!

I was like that for a long time after getting divorced. I married young, was divorced relatively young, and then didn’t want anything beyond dating with anyone for the last 10 years. I only recently (in the last year or so) started thinking about it again but don’t want to go through the hassle of a divorce, etc. if things were to fall apart. It’s sad really…how a bad experience can make you lose trust in something that could be awesome with the right person. You hit the nail on the head – I don’t want to feel trapped. I love my BF and don’t want to be with anyone else, but somehow the thought of being able to walk away if I need to is comforting. At the same time, potentially being alone is scary. It’s ridiculous though…I have these doubts about getting married and yet still feel rejection over the fact that he hasn’t asked. What the heck?? LOL
