If you both are open about how this is the relationship is...then yeah.

I mean, there are already plenty of married couples out there as we speak who no longer love each other, but don't want to leave each other due to fear of the unknown (or financial reasons).

There is such a thing as a peaceful marriage even if the love is gone. Most people who no longer love their partner, but still respect them, still trust them with their lives.

More like fear of monetary loss. Cheaper to keep her as they say.

It's not ideal, but I guess it's okay. Worse things happen. So to answer your question, sure. It's okay.

However, I will require it to be consummated.

What's the point in having all of that if you can't be with the one you love? You can work to get financial stability and home stability. You can never replace the one you love.

In North America we have an idea of romantic marriage. Lots of other places marriage is just a family business system.

It's fine to marry someone you don't love. Not for me, but I have no reason to tell you how to marry.

Another thing how likely is it to find crazy mad love as opposed to just love as a friendship that grows over time.

It's not permission for monogamy. It's about tax breaks

Sure you can.

You can't always build financial security however. What if the person you love is financially irresponsible? Accumulating debt, opening credit cards behind your back, etc.

Anyway, to answer the question, I don't think it's wrong so long that both parties in the marriage are aware. Personally I wouldn't do it.

I didn't say that it was. And who cares why you're getting a tax break? I'd just be happy that I was getting it

I mean, you can, but they won't be the same. If you love a new person, then go ahead. But if you're still in love with person 1, and you marry person 2, who you're not in love with, then you just don't value relationships and marriage that much.

Because the woman I truly love is my ex wife but really made some poor life decisions.

This other woman I'm marrying is educated, responsible, a good role model for my daughter and provides a lot of stability. I just don't love her, care about her but not love.

I might need tot ell her tonight I'm not in love with her.

She did.

She's living with her parents and working as a manager in a shop for some guy she has been dating.

We both talk daily via WhatsApp and are clearly still in love

He says love isn't like a fucking Disney movie. He said it's a friendship that grows over years.

But my ex was my Disney fairy tale I was head over heels for her.

I was in a similar situation a few years back. Engaged to a man I didn't really love, rationalizing it with similar kind of reasons. I broke it off in the end. It's just not worth it.

You can find someone to marry for the "right reasons" and also love them. Meaning, you can find another woman with those qualities again, and actually love her more than your ex.

But you would first need to get over your ex. Do you think you have yourself enough time to heal after the divorce? Did you jump into this relationship too soon?
