I have a wonderful husband of 8 years but just don't enjoy being married and taking care of someone. Sometimes I think I'd just rather be alone and do what I want...like read, watch t.v., friends, etc.

Marriage isn't for everyone. If you know that about yourself then you are ahead of the game. A lot of people never figure it out and spend years destroying other peoples lives.

I don't think it's strange at all. It could be that you are just not ready for marriage and you might never be. In the end all that matters is that you are happy.
Oh...didn't know that you were already married. I got married a few years ago and about a year into it I realized that it wasn't what I wanted. It was hard but I had to let go. Thank goodness I didn't have kids but even still it was hard.
One thing for sure in marriage you have to make time for yourself. Maybe you should pick a day every week that could be just "Your Day" where you get to do what You want to do like, go to the park and read your book, or go to the mall and have some good coffee by yourself, set a day with some girlfriends that yall can go shopping together or something.

I dont think its strange at all. I have the same feelings. I havent officially made the relationship legal but it might as well be.
I guess some people need the comfort and security of marriage. I see it as a binding, constricting union.
The only difference I have from being amarried woman is no paper and no ring. The thought of getting married really bothers me. Its like I would be losing my independence or myself some how.
Marrrige isnt for everyone. Its not a strange thought to have.
No worries.

For better for WORSE...enjoy those things together so you can communicate and you have something to talk and get excited about. Marriage is not something you pick up and when you're through with it you return it to where you pick it up. It is a commitment. If you had Christian marriage it is a pact not only to two people but to three. You your husband and God.
Make your marriage work. share not only the good...also the bad. No matter what happens do it together.

That's just saying the grass in greener on the other side. If you're ever sick or in trouble or lonely...you'll realize that being in a loving marriage was the best thing. Don't take love for granted, ask your husband for some space but don't get bored of this...being married is the best thing if you're in a loving, nurturing relationship.

being married is much more than "taking care of someone". Why don't you reevaluate, with your spouse, what you want to do, and make the necessary changes to make your life more fulfilling for both of you?
BTW, more divorces happen between 7 - 9 years because of "boredom" - those that get beyond that are likely to last forever, so your feelings are not unusual in the least.

It all depends on your age, and if you have meant the right person, Normally when you have met the love of your life, then you will realise that you want to spend the rest of your lives together, Although have a legal document does not guarantee anything, and just living together does not mean it will not last...So it's not strange to think that, just remember as you get older you may change your mind.

No it is not strange,I can understand how you must be feeling,i too feel the same. I guess there really is no solid answer. it maybe that we just haven't found our soul mates....but just keep trying to be a soul mate to your partner and maybe things will seem much clearer.

It is too late because you are already married. It is until death do us part. So do your best to make the best out of it.
