@rukspc,

I'm chiming in here on this one.

I married for all the wrong reasons, and man, do I regret my decision to marry! I married the completely WRONG person. Now I am divorcing him, before our two-year wedding anniversary.

Marrying the wrong person, or marrying for all the wrong reasons will definitely only lead to unhappiness and discontent. Learn from someone who knows.

I have been unhappy in this marriage since the day I married him. I have been wanting to leave him for a very long time. I lost my spirit, I lost my happy go lucky self, and I let myself go.. my health.

It is NOT worth it - trust me.

Make sure that:
1) you truly want to marry THIS man, and that HE is the right one for YOU;
2) that you don't marry him simply because you want a family and the clock is ticking.

Be very thoughtful about this decision. It's one of the most important decisions you will make in life. So be deliberate, be thoughtful and take your time with it. When you get married, you co-mingle your finances, your home, and your entire lives and it becomes far more complicated to undo and leave, if you must leave.

That's the best advice I can give.
