Long story short we got married last October, it's both of us second marriage but he was single for 11 years after his firts divorce, we have been together for 3 years now he come to me and told me that he wants a divorce, he dosent want to break up with me he say he loves me but he wants the...

Long story short we got married last October, it's both of us second marriage but he was single for 11 years after his firts divorce, we have been together for 3 years now he come to me and told me that he wants a divorce, he dosent want to break up with me he say he loves me but he wants the divorce, he said he dosent understand why but been marriage terrified him . So basically he wants us to stay together but not married. I told him if he go through with the divorce thing I will just pack my stuff and leave cause it doesn't make sence to me . He said that's not what he wants he just don't want to be married. I'm heart broken I hace two kids and he is the only relationship I had since I got my divorce with the kids father and I thought I have my life together once again now I'm terrified that I will have to start all over again. This is more like a vent but any one have any advice ? I will appreciate it .

    Your first priority must be your children. I don't agree with alyssachu often, but I will this time. The trust is broken. I'd make a clean break of it. See a lawyer and find out how to protect yourself. You deserve better.

    Dayivi I'm sending you all the virtual hugs! I agree that you should definitely suggest counseling for you both. I'd also make it clear that if he goes through with the divorce you're leaving.

    Whether you proceed with divorce or not, I would get into couples counseling. I will say this: the fact that he doesn't want to be married but waited until AFTER the wedding bodes very poorly for the relationship, as does your comment that you feel he needs to realize he needs help first. It honestly just sounds like neither of you care anymore, but are staying together and moved forward with getting married because you felt that was the next thing to do.

    I think what you're going to find in counseling is that there are deeper issues for both of you, that you will both likely be recommended to individual counseling as well, and the couples therapist will help you figure out how best to make a clean break: for your sakes as well as any children involved.

    Regardless, PLEASE seek counseling. It should have honestly been sought well before the wedding and could have prevented all of this.

    I don't think I have much to add to the great advice you've already received. I just want to say that I am sorry you are dealing with this. Keeping you in my thoughts.

    I'm curious as to know WHY he wants a divorce. What does he think will happen if he stays married?

    I'm with you, though. If he wants to go through with the divorce, I'd break up completely. Going through a divorce is expensive and can be arduous. He wants to put you through that and still stay together? Nope.

    T-Rex: As they've been married only a couple of months and they seem pretty amicable, a divorce shouldn't be that expensive at this point. I mean, in two months it's unlikely they've accumulated much, if any, marital property, so division of assets should be pretty simple, and assuming they can work together, they could have one lawyer draw up the paperwork, sign it, and have it done for less than $1000. I've known a few couples who have done something similar, even after much longer marriages.

    I'm so sorry this is happening. Definitely recommended counseling. You need to feel secure in your relationship.

    Thats not stability, at all. Your children are sitting on the fence with you. Stability is having a man that knows what he wants and doesn't change his mind after he commits to something. Just because a body is filling that extra parent spot doesn't mean it's healthy

    This sounds like she might be able to get the marriage annulled.

    I think this is shady as hell. I'm so sorry OP but I would run for the hills. For him to even think he could ask that of you.

    Runnnn

    Why did he propose if he's scared of marriage? Or did you propose?

    Walk. It hasn't even been TWO months you've been married.

    IMO if you're dealing with this already you'll probably deal with these issues for the rest of your life.
