Hi Apothic,

I share similar views, although I just got divorced a year ago. As I listen in to friends and family to change my mind for better, I’m noticing positive changes in my mindset towards marriage. Conclusion for me still remains – if the person loves to be with me, he will be with me no matter what, don’t need a stamp and chain of ‘marriage’. Partly, I have ceased to believe in this institution, too many divorces around! including mine!

On pratical side, there are too much hassles (court proceedings) just to end a painful thing which both can do away with easily but one or the other person chooses to drag it to make it difficult and hurt!

I’m single and often get thoughts of retirement worries, what if I die alone? what if I don’t have anyone around to take care of me? But why ponder over something we haven’t seen; the future! Live in the present, take good care of yourself each day, be happy, spread happiness around…and enjoy the moment!

And believe me, slowly I’m discovering around me who literally feel ‘trapped’ in marriage (no offenses to anyone).

I do feel the lack of having someone to love me and take care of me, but let’s see who woos me..hehehe..:-)

Stay blessed!!! Feel free to share more such ques…I know how heavy these make us feel!…loads of love!!!
