Of anyone who's been divorced or separated from another, who misses being married?

Question

Not missing the @hole you were married to, but the act of being married itself. And not just THE ACT either - but being a partner in something bigger than you - a marriage.

Answer 1

i do
i miss having someone to talk to, to cuddle up in bed with, to share a coffee in the morning, i miss making arrangements to do things together, i miss the closeness and companionship

Answer 2

I have been divorced for about 10 years now. I find that on occasion that while I don't miss my ex, I do miss being married.

I am not sure I can put why into words though. A major part of it, was knowing that I had who I would be with for life. There is nothing like that feeling.

Answer 3

I really miss being married a lot. I just wish that I could find someone out there like an ex boyfriend I had that left me for another. I miss sharing parts of my life and having those comfortable silences.

Answer 4

You never do at first, but after awhile it soon wears on you being alone and this is when you begin to think, after all you don't want to grow old and lonely do you?. So this is when you realise you better find someone while you still have the looks and before you get old and wrinklier. I thought it was great being on my own too and was so for 3 years, just doing what I wanted to do. Now I am in a defacto relationship and things are going just fine.

Answer 5

I've missed the companionship. The closeness and intimacy. And the feeling of having someone who's always on your side. But those things aren't the products of marriage, they're the products of a strong loving relationship.

Answer 6

key word- who HAS been... meaning obviously something went wrong. some elements good, some elements bad. Which do you think you miss? most likely the bad. just kidding- the good. CAn you find someone with more good than bad is the real question?

Answer 7

i left my marriage 2 months ago, when i left i thought that it was it, at the time i really had hard feelings for him. as time has passed i miss what was before the marriage went to hell.he says he has changed and is getting help and wants counseling. Is it enough for me to go back, i don't know.but i do miss who he was before he became the drunken *** when i left.

Answer 8

Yes but ask yourself if you really miss him or just the company and all other things that come with it. Chances are it won't be him and you will feel this fufilment later in life

Answer 9

I've been divorced since 1989, and I'll never miss being married.

Answer 10

i often miss the man he use to be before he met her, the kind loving considerate man he once was. the feeling of security and my life as it once was. but i don't miss the man he became and the cruel way he ended the marriage.
