Don’t Get Married: You Can’t Afford It
Part 1: Reasons divorced people warn you to not get married
Recently, I wrote a piece about the nine reasons that divorced women, me included, might want to get re-married.
Holy hell, I suffered some blowback for writing that. I got tore up, chewed up, and spit out.
Some men — and women — made sure they let me know all the reasons that marriage is horrible. They didn’t outright say I was foolish for wanting to get re-married, but the message was received.
Plenty of men and women shared my reasons for wanting to get re-married, but I wanted to make sure I listened to and learned from the people with opposing views.
The cool thing is, people wrote to me about their opposing views in a reasonable tone, without being too disparaging or derogatory. (Well, most did.) They helped me flesh out my thoughts on this topic a bit more.
I’m writing this series to summarize the reasons that divorced people told me that marriage is god-awful and no one in their right mind should want to get married.
Along the way, they may just change my mind and convince me that I shouldn’t want to get re-married after all.
