I'm really sorry to hear that you had to go through that. It'd have to be tough. I can understand your fears and reasoning behind not wanting to marry because of what you've been through. Actually, I'd probably be the same way if I were in that situation.
Anyways, yes. I believe in marriage and divorce. I think both should be taken extremely seriously though and that one should only marry if they truly feel that they will love and be devoted to that person forever. Of course things happen, but you should make sure you are certain before going into marriage. I do believe in divorce if it's a last resort and you are being treated badly, hurt or there is little chance of you being happy together as a couple. It's best to separate and go on instead of live where neither could ever be happy. As for abuse and being treated with disrespect, I think divorce is a perfectly acceptable option and I personally would not hesitate to divorce over being mistreated or being betrayed. However, a divorce shouldn't be drug to the point of kids having to go through anymore than they will have to. They shouldn't see the bad parts.
That is amazing that you have found love so powerful that you could consider changing something that you once felt so strongly about. Love is strange!
Congratulations and I hope it works out wonderfully for you.
