Is Marriage for you?

Other: Divorced in your country/state. (have been married)

I was always against marriage for myself. Then when I did it, the validation I got from exchanging vows in front of 40 witnessness and having a justice of the peace tell us we were now a part of Amsterdam history archives... I dunno... just felt emmense. And the level of betrayal I felt for my wife going against the vows she made in front of 40 witnesses... the outrage those witnesses felt as well... was one of the most agonising things I had ever felt.

I now "get" the impact of marraige ceremony, for me.
