Quite a few threads at the moment about marriage, kids, and financial protection in a couple. So I wanted to ask: if you are the main breadwinner in your relationship (woman or man), and chose not to marry your DP (kids or no kids), what was the reason behind your decision? I am financially independent, have no kids, married my (wealthy) ex DH because of pensions/house, divorced him. I wish we had never married as, ultimately, the divorce cost us more than any financial advantage marriage would have brought us.
