I really don't intend to ever get married again and I certainly don't want a second chance with this one. I've been living alone for over 3 years and love my freedom so much. As long as I'm still legally married, I can't get married again...and that's my reason. My wife has mentioned divorced a couple of times and I told her that if she wants one, to go ahead and file and I will not contest it. But she still hasn't made the move. I really don't care
Some of my female friends tell me I'm crazy for this and are always telling me to get the divorce so they can "set me up" with their friends. I have no desire to date and have no problem growing old alone. Why can't some women understand that I'm truly happy being alone and single?

I'm still there "legally" because of our kids and joint property. The kids are all grown...so I don't need to stay married for that. But I do want to protect my half of the investments that I help build.

you know you could just get a divorce and not re-marry, but if you believe this works for you then ok - enjoy life

This is a new twist to me, the guy not wanting a divorce!! Your friends know females who want to hook you up alright, and then you'd really be sorry. Just got my freedom legally over a year now, and like you totally enjoying, so do what makes you happy. Get a list of "friends" who may want to go to movies, outings, or whatever from time to time, and leave it at that, no strings.

You truly are being ridiculous and should file for divorce. I understand and can appreciate you know your want to be alone..I do too personally but to have that hanging on thingy going is ridiculous. Your hiding behind your "been done marriage" If you dont want to date ...dont!! but that has nothing to do with the divorce and as far as protecting interest..your kids are grown..sell the joint property and split the profits...WHATS THE PROB?

You should get divorced to protect your investments and still not get married again. Being divorced doesn't mean that you have to date again and its all up to you coz no body can force you to date anybody. But it will be better if you get legally divorced..

well what does matter if you get a divorce or not you know what you want so why worry about getting one or not i think you should so your ex wife could get married if she found someone else and then you two wouldnt have to worry about it you need to tell people that you are not interested in having a relationship with anyone and that you dont need or want to be set up with anyone i think you should go ahead and get one
good luck

it make no sense if you happy being single and alone then divorce your ex wife reason why because the fact you scared to leave your woman simple. if not then you need to tell your female women to make sure they understand clearly from you.... I don't want to have hook up or blind date or set me up with someone else. I am happy what I am now. What wrong be honest with them. If you can't soemthing is wrong you can't do anything to stand up for yourself but you can be happy to be single and alone but can't stand up for yourself.woman can't read your mind and thinking that you want to find someone. You have to tell them your mouth and tell them of course they will be so upset and what ever oh well you being honest.. just be who you are.

Well I think you should just tell her to go ahead and file. Just make sure you get your fair share of things. Im divorced and doing fine on my own. And will never get married again! I might live with someone and share my life with them for companship!

I don't think it's crazy wanting to live out the rest of your life alone... To all their own. But I do think it's kinda silly to still be legally attached to someone else.

Your going to lose your investments if you don't get divorced.
