Relationships Do you regret getting married?

[Mike]

I've regretted it for... damn nearly 15 years now. Is what it is but I would go back and undo it if I could.

I get to have a best friend that lives with me? And gives me 24 hour titty access? Sounds awful.

I'm not even gonna dignify that with an answer lol

Probably a wise decision

But seriously - best of luck

I’ve been with my wife for 20 years now — we met when I was 22 and she was 19.


We’ve been through pretty much everything together: studying, unemployment, building careers, buying a house, having kids, losing parents… the whole spectrum of life. I think after that many years you either grow together or grow apart. We’ve definitely grown together, and I honestly can’t imagine life without her and the kids.

That said, every now and then you do wonder how “easy” it might feel to be single again — lol. But when I look at my single friends, I quickly realize it would probably only be fun for a couple of months. It seems pretty lonely, and modern dating looks like an absolute nightmare.

Like a married friend once told me: the perfect life would be if you could magically be married for 10 days, single for 5, married for 10 again, and so on — the best of both worlds

don’t regret getting married even though it didn’t work out, I more regret all the clear mistakes I made in hindsight even though I do have the feeling it was necessary for my personal growth and probably wouldn’t have learned and had realizations without the experience

It is heartwarming to read all the comments from people who found the one and made it work, sometimes through the hardest of lifes challenges. Makes me wish I could go back and undo a lot of bad (and hasty) life decisions I've made in the past.

I will never forget the day my mother died.

My father looked at me and said he was glad she went first, so that she didn't have to suffer the pain he was going though.

That is just...wow.

That's love.

They made it 46 years before she passed. She was a Navy wife, and neither one knew what the word quit meant.

My wife and I will be 30 years this year. Learned behaviour I guess, but sadly, I'm pretty confident I won't be the one left standing at our end.

 

[Phlog]

Absolutely not. Not once, not even a little at the worst of times over the last 20 years.

That's also being a man imo.

Never been married, but I’ve been with my gf over 16 years, so maybe we will someday.
