<Half of marriages end in divorce...etc>

Good point. As you say, over a lifetime etc.. one slip... one bad patch...

I think I want life to be more stable than it really is.

60% isn't a stretch, all in.

"even if I am not particularly attached to the institution of marriage"

Neither am I, which is why I haven't re-married. But to me the point is that if you are not committed to the marriage, get out of it, be honest. Or don't get into it to begin with.

You're fighting biology there, sister. Monogamy is a challenge to a creature with a low reproductive capacity. Sure, you get better offspring productivity if the male stays with the progeny, but that trade off of having lots of progeny is hard wired into our DNA- for males. It's a hawks and doves biology problem- and I realize the social side of our evolution has tried to change that wiring, but the wiring is a lot older than human civilization.
