Same Sex Marriage and Divorce

"Love Rules all of Heaven and Earth below."

For love, I was married illegally for 35 years.. Divorce? Ha! Legal marriage and divorce to me now, however, should always be about financial security

...FIRST! Suppose I was legally married for those thirty five years? I now know that we would have needed at least 35,000 minimum emergency funds, at least 50,000 yearly combined income to live just above the poverty line, and since she became extremely ill, we would need to carry all the health and life insurance we could handle to protect our assets. Plus, I would also have been responsible for her student loans, and other debts

So, if I were to ever get legally married, I would certainly ponder on these things..I would have gotten divorced before too many debts accrued between us.. I woulda shoulda..yadda. yadda..

I am kinda glad that I didn't marry my ex, because I can see the divorce now, it would have been horrible and very painful.

I am going through a lot of emotions and feelings since we broke up and marriage is no longer in my future with anyone, I refuse to deal with the heart break.

I have never been married. Perhaps someday I will meet someone that is a good match for me but I am in no hurry.

My life is pretty darn good.

We had a union (no legal marriages then) and lived together for 22 years. A wonderful woman. We grew apart and I knew she was not happy. I was in school for 5 years and she said she felt like a widow. I went all year long. We had 3 beautiful fur babies and we had bought a home. I signed the house over to her and moved to an apt. It is sad as I never really will stop loving her but have moved on so I hope she is happy. She gave me wonderful years. I didn't need a divorce just an unhappy woman in my life so that's it.
