I have learned, perhaps too late, that choices have consequences.
For example, a lot of the reason why I am in such pain is because I made poor choices with the food I ate and not doing enough physical activity, leading to me being overweight.
But that's not the worst consequence I'm facing.
See, I chose to get married. i did not choose well, but I chose.
And because I made that choice, and further made the choices that led to my separation, I do not have a special someone in my life, nor will I.
Now, you might be saying that I could hope for someone to come into my life, but you see, there is a problem.
My faith is clear on the subject - you get one chance at marriage, and that's it.
And I blew mine.
And as evil as I am, I will not, can not cross that line.
So I get to be alone.
Sucks to me.

You can have a special someone in your life without marrrying them, and it shouldn't require you to compromise your faith.
And if you were truly evil you'd just arrange a hit on your ex.
I'll hold back my comments
on a faith that thinks people should only have one chance at making a future with another, but I will say this: marriage is not what makes a relationship meaningful. Depending on how you view it it can mean a lot of things, from simply a legal joining of assets to a spiritual commitment to each other, but in the end marrying someone -- or NOT marrying them -- is not the sole definition of finding someone who's special to your heart. All this means is that you'll need to find a partner who is willing to NOT get married -- and, if they truly love you, and you truly love them, then what does that little scrap of paper even matter?
