As much as divorce was bad and draining of energy and money and ended up having grey hair in the process. I still can’t see life without a woman. Casual dating left me feeling empty and worse.

I workout and feel in good place mentally and physically but crave a partner and I am in love of someone else and it’s so scary to give them the power to destroy you.

What’s the point of love? Why getting married if the odds are stacked against men and I will mostly likely heart broken and in pain? It seems like in today society a marriage is good for only 7-11 years max. My ex had a good job and walking out with a nice slice of our assets didn’t seem like a bad deal to her… although she’s still single. I don’t understand why women now prefer being single to being housewives.

I don’t think I will marry again, but since I live in no community state I want to cohabit with this girl. She makes significantly less than me and maybe it’s a good thing. Sometimes I think to live separately and that will elongate our relationship… living together seems like it just cause problems and push us apart…

Any tips or formulas on how to keep a partner? I met this girl 10 years younger and I am really in love with her and she seems genuinely in love but I don’t think living together or marriage is a good thing.
