Is it normal that i'm terrified of divorce?

We aren't even married yet, and we don't currently have any problems and have been living together with combined finances for three years.

Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    I wouldn't worry about it if it doesn't look likely and if there's no reason to.

    Worrying about it is probably more likely to turn it into a self-fulfilling prophecy, because you'll be making stricter and stricter demands of him/her and getting disappointed when it's not "happily ever after".

    Virtually ALL marriages and long-term relationships will have problems, you will not be the same people in 10 years and with that comes stress. However, what makes a truly strong marriage is overcoming that and staying married, and in love, despite it.

    People usually change once they have a ring on their finger even after cohabiting & not for the best. Marriages don't seem to last anymore (people's expectations I guess).

    I understand people get hitched for many reasons but If I were you I would think long & hard before marrying.

    If it ain't broke don't fix it.

    Most people aren't terrified of it, but if you were affected by it in childhood then it makes sense.
