Would you ever get married again?

Feeling maybe a bit down in the dumps on this but it feels like my ex wife's affair really buried my hopes for the future, twice really. Once for our marriage and then again for being married at all. And it still feels this way with my 2 year d-day anniversary coming up in 2 weeks.

My original plan was to spend the rest of my life with her and then I've been having to mull over whether trying someone new is worth it. I tend to lean heavily on statistics when making decisions and the below weigh on my mind:

• 2nd marriages have a 60% divorce rate, blended family marriages have a 70% divorce rate (and I have a kid). Some portion of those remaining marriages probably aren't happily married either. So my odds here are probably 25% or worse.

• if you've been cheated on before, you're 2 to 4 times more likely to be cheated on again.

Getting cheated on was absolutely beyond compare the worst thing I've gone through. I absolutely want to avoid it from happening again.

But going through life without a companion to celebrate the good times with, to lean on during the bad times and to have someone to care for feels bad to me. I've tried most of my life to be comfortable just being me but available friendships feel shallow and solitude feels oppressive.

Rock and a hard place.
