    The whole point of marriage though is for it to last forever

      The whole point of marriage used to be ownership, not anymore. Things change. Divorce is better than the alternatives. Cold bitter resentment that lasts until one of you dies and then just the feelings of what might have been. Or murder.

      It’s ok to change your mind. To grow apart. To recognize that and to act on it is a blessing.

          People grow and learn and change over time. Unless you have the power to predict the future you can’t “just not marry someone you’ll later resent”
