I had a crap marriage, nothing really terrible compared to some but he was an arse, I cheated, he cheated, we disliked each other!

I felt so guilty for breaking up our family that I had years of counselling

He started a relationship with a friend of mine. They remain very happy and now live together. She is a wonderful step mum to our dcs

I worked hard to buy him out and keep my family home.

A hot guy moved in next door, I eventually plucked up the courage to put a note through his door

3 years on ........ Friday this week we completed on our first home, we're rebuilding it, it's a mess, but is has a swimming pool and I'm sooooo excited.

Yesterday he gave me a ring and we are now engaged to never be married

Don't get me wrong, divorce was tough, I had a lot of terrible dates and boyfriends and my ex said 'you'll never find what you're looking for'

HE LIED ....... I did find it, I'm happy, in love, committed, and loyal

Not meant to be a smug post but I know how OLD can suck the life out of you

Nothing wrong with sharing your happiness, OP.
Lovely to hear and pleased for you.

What's engaged to never be married? I think I like the sound of that...

Congratulations and thank you for posting, I needed to hear that right now :) OLD is killing my self-esteem, I'm just so tired of trying all the time, of being responsible for everything and having no-one to care one jot about me :(

@thesnailandthewhale trust me i know!

I met so many dicks, men who were so mean, sapped my self esteem, cheated, ghosted etc etc

It taken this man 3 years to rebuild all that but I'm getting there

@promomo we've both been married before, neither of us can see the benefit of doing it again
We agree that only if it means the other benefits as in death or something then we'll do it
