married people change together. Their relationship changes together.

Invented is such a terrible word. It was a contract. And within that contract was a place for love to grow without the idea the person was going to leave. And within that love was a place for family.

Today some celebrate the inverse. Have family. Then love. Then marry. Then divorce. And leaves little to no safe place for any of the above.



Marriage is a contract your future self may regret. It may seem like the right thing now but you at the end of your life may think differently.

The OP regrets not having children. His younger self made that decision. He is not too old to go and have kids with someone else or adopt (say as a single dad even).

Go have kids man! If your wife doesn't want to then get divorced. If she does then work together. IVD, adoption etc...


Marriage is a contract upon which every other mutual decision in life is made upon. You need to have a better reason than changing decisions to divorce or annul a marriage. She made that decision too after all and it was made together for each other.

You remain faithful to the contract, or you are violating the contract in bad faith.


Here in the USA we have no fault divorces.

There’s no requirement to give a reason or even have a reason to end a marriage.


Interesting.

In some case yes. "Hope for the best, plan for the worst as people say".
