Getting married again scares the crap out of me

when I was young and dumb I was married to a person who was a alcoholic with a serious gambling cheating problem. I finally left for my own sanity and made a good life for me and my kids. I met someone who brings out the best in me We have been together five years . He wants to get married and I don't. I like things the way we are. WE have our days but none of those drag out fights and lonely teary night I had before all the time? He means so much to us and I don't want to seem selfish . I am so afraid of pushing him away because of my fear of being hurt again.

    Hi, I really think after 5 years you know the REAL person and not one who is still pretending.

    There is NO guarantee in life for not getting hurt.

    A 2nd marriage is always more difficult than the first one because of baggage which is inevitably carried along.

    When all is said and done,don`t let love and happiness slip away from you just because you are scared.

    I wish you lots of luck and happiness.

    If your still young and realize you made a mistake and find true love, go for it. I think getting married the second time at an older age is being afraid of being alone as you grow older.
