Fear of same thing happening

If I do have any relationships in the future, I cannot help but fear that a woman I was with would start exhibiting all the same behaviours as my wife.

Anyone else been put off future relationships?

Hi

I am totally terrifed on getting into another relationship.

I have single friends (50+) who tells me it's the best way to be.

This is my second divorce. First time around (20 years ago) we didn't own property so everything was straightforward.

This time, we own property and it's the worst situation in the world.

Even if I met someone in future (which at the moment, I don't even want to), I would NEVER get married and share finances again. Ever.

I will just remind myself of all this pain and of how ill it's all making me. That in itself is enough

I may be naive, I could be alone, I had a house, a job, family and friends so I didn't need a relationship but I liked being married and have happily married again with all the risks that entails because I'd rather take my chance at love and that means trusting someone enough to share everything believing it's for ever.
