This thread is pretty stale and you may never see this, but I wanted to remark on the bitterness evident in your last post anyway. If this is how you feel after your last relationship, then your last relationship sucked. Be glad you got out of it, and yes, I would think it would have ended in divorce had you tied the knot. You should up your standards on what a relationship ought to look like. Someone who treats you nicely, who gives as well as takes, who enjoys spending time with you and actively wants to spend time with you, who still wants an active sex life even after several months together--this should not be some fantastic ideal that you might one day win the lottery with. This is what an ordinary healthy LTR looks like. If you're not getting something like this, you need to move on. (Obviously, you need to hold up your end of the deal in all those ways too.) Dating is hard. I speculate, merely from you being a male who posts to HN, that it is especially hard for you. But it's better to cut your losses and try again than to stay in an LTR that doesn't actually make you happy. Good luck.
