Do you regret getting married?

I 100% regret it but I got married to the absolute wrong person at too young of an age. it was ok for a bit but the pandemic really threw things off course and it never bounced back. The process taught me a lot. Probably wouldn't put myself through it again unless it was literally a perfect match dream scenario but I'm not holding my breath on that one
 
I'll probably never know for sure but if I was married I'm almost certain I would regret it. I'm a loner, introvert, nerd, geek, loser, etc. I get very uncomfortable if I'm around other people for more than a few hours without an escape to be alone for awhile.
 
I kind of regret not taking the path of marriage, wife and kids. I feel like I missed out on growth.

With that said, I hate the idea of being center of attention. I see myself shitting myself as a groom.
 
My wife and I have been together 20 years as of this coming June and married for 14 years. Two kids, an 11 year old son and an 8 year old daughter. Don’t regret any of it.

It can be tough at times but I don’t regret it. I hope we have many years together just as my folks did. At the time of my dad’s passing three years ago they had been happily married 53 years and together for a total of 55 years, with four kids and 8 grandkids. That’s a successful relationship and that’s what I think we will have too.
 
I was 33 and bored shitless with the Miss Tonight unemotional sex, I needed more than that.

I got real lucky, she was 21 and way out of my league as my buddy told me as she walked by our table.

That was 40ish years ago, still....thrilled.
 
Almost 36, married 3 times, twice to the same woman.....second married to her was a lot shorter.

Never again. Never ever again.
 
This is a tricky question. Being married got me 3 kids that I love and I can't even imagine my life without them. I can imagine my life without my wife though and it feels like it would be a much calmer and happier life. So don't regret it I guess, but at the same time.....

Your first mistake is thinking anyone is going to pay attention to the groom on the wedding day, lol. Sit back and relax. Have some drinks, but not so many you’re puking and shitting yourself in the airport bathroom trying to catch a flight to your honeymoon.
 
Going on 30 years together. When you find the right one, it's not too hard to make it work if you just listen to each other.

Got married once. Only ever planned on getting married once.
 
no regrets here. I'm in a much better place in life due to making sound, good decisions in terms of career and my mental/physical health
 
I don't regret it but I don't know if I'd do it over. We basically got married (neither one of us were married before) for the financial benefits but otherwise it's not something that we really felt the urge to do, which is probably why our wedding/party cost us all of $800.

We don't have kids, don't want kids and now cannot have kids. Realistically if we got divorced it would be as much as a formality as it was when we got married.
