I was married for 11 years. I had a miserable experience. I had 4 children. I tried to stay for them. I couldn't. I have been divorced for 10 years. I am in a much better relationship now. We have been together for 6 years and we are happy. I refuse to mess it up with marriage. Marriage is a recent invention and unnecessary for a wonderful union.

Perhaps false perceptions, unrealistic expectations, or impossible to attain goals are a part of it?

Atheists And Social Justice

Donotbelieve comments on Jun 19, 2018:

I voted one way, but the current reality is not quite in line with it. I think we should definitely set the bar high, as a few of us are also humanists. Sadly, all we seem to have in common is a lack of belief in god. There's a slim thread of unity. I hope it is nurtured to maturity and enables atheists to stand for humanity and it's rights. I would like to be a part of that movement.
