Do you regret being married?

Lily & Stu Too

No, I don't regret being married. I do regret the time we spent apart when we split up though. It was a waste of valuable time and caused us both unnecessary hurt.

We've been back together 2 years now and are happier than ever.

They don't tell you that you have to work flippin' hard at a relationship to keep it going! I'm sure couples take the easy option more and more these days. Nobody seems to want to put time and effort into anything in our generation. Sad, really....

Not at all. I am so in love with my wife, the only thing I regret is not having anymore ideas on how to show her much I love her.

No I regretted being single

I have been married to my wife, Linda, since 1972. We met in 1968 and I love her more as each day passes. I have never regreted marrying her. I feel very lucky to have met her and cannot imagine what life would be like without her.

You know. Sometimes I do, but when I really sit down and think about it, it's me. Not the marriage. Sure, every marriage has their ups and downs. However, what makes for a successful marriage and a failed marriage is how the couple deals with the "downs".
So, it's not that I "regret" being married. I just sometimes get "frustrated" with being married. However, I love my wife whole-heartedly. Even when I'm mad at her, I still care for her and would take a bullet for her.

Marina

Not at all. I love being married!

Velvet

Hell no!
Like anything, you have to work at it, but we are still blissfully happy, and proud to still be married!

like you say many people divorce.
i think it is too easy to divorce these days and people are selfish,(not all!!) so they jack in a relationship rather than work at it.

My first marriage was terrible my ex was a horrible husband and Father however I do not regret marrying him because if i didn't marry him I wouldn't have my precious son also I have learned a lot from being in a damaged marriage. I am remarried and love being married to my husband I do not regret anything.

I do not regret being married. I can't say we lived "happily ever after", because we do have our moments. In fact, just now we are having a pretty major disagreement. However, I would not trade my husband for anything, and I know he feels the same about me. Marriage can be a wonderful thing, but you do have to be committed to each other and to making it work. Don't get married just for the sake of getting married, but if you ever meet the right one, don't let fear hold you back. It really can work, if you put enough effort into it.

KJA

well my experience is:

2 long-term abusive relationships.... Put up with stuff I shouldn't, learned from my mum.... Tho mum and dad are still together...

But there is hope... I'm now in a happy relationship where my partner would never raise a finger, force and opinion or disrespect me...

YES, there is hope, we're getting married in November....

Hope you find someone who you feel as comfortable/safe with...

I am currently getting a divorce. I don't regret being married but I do regret not being educated about the realities of marriage before I got married. Marriage is a lot of hard work. Me and my soon to be ex husband were together 7 years before we got married. Then we only stayed married for 2 years. People these days just aren't educated on the realities of marriage like they used to be. Marriage isn't all about love and romance. It's sort of like owning a business together. If you don't work hard it will fail.

I DO REGRET BEEN MARRIED ........................BUT IT IS NOT TO LATE FOR ME TO FIX UP MY LIFE .....(i do not have any kids with him and he will never change for the better)

Chances68

No, I've never regretted it, not for a minute! Oh, hey, we've had our rocky times, of course. We've argued, and I've chosen to sleep on the couch a few times (big mistake. My rule now is NEVER go t sleep angry). We've each had a short-term affair, too. But through it all, we're still each other's best friend, and we've made a great home for our kids to be raised in. I'll be the first to admit that our relationship for the last 18 years (we've been married for 20) has been anything BUT traditional, but it works for us, and we spend a LOT more time laughing than drying. What more can you ask?

Yann

Not for a second.

..but it is not a cakewalk......it can be great at times and tuff as hell at others....and remember that every thing you add to the relationship make it more complex...spouse's friends, the in-laws a real biggie, kids, a mortgage, bills, etc...the more you add the more you have to "get a grip".

i wonder

should have faith that ur going to try to make ur marriage work.... have faith in ur self and in ur talents

not marries, seen the worst couples, but also seen the best couples

its all about compromise and not seeing the world from a narrow beam..... and indeed not being selfish

Dave

Yes over 8 years. Don't lose hope! Theres someone for everyone.

Kevan and Jenna H

I love being married. In fact I love my hubby more and more everyday. don't lose faith, marriage is such a wonderful thing. You just need to make sure that you have someone who feels that marriage is as important as you do. good luck!

dayaous

I am divorced, but it has not made me lose faith in the whole concept. Some divorces are a mess, mine was not and I was not going to let it be. Don't hold a grudge, no matter what they do, it is not worth it and there are better people out there. Go into the married with your eyes wide open. You can't change someone, no matter how much you love them, which is what a lot of us think we can do. They will change once we are married. Slim chance, and that is where the problem starts from most and it builds from there.

Because you see other fail, does not mean you will. Just know, it is not easy.

ginnygirl4

Basically marriage is not giving up. Its very easy to do, but those who make and who don't both have had very similar experiences. Just hang in there, its not all bad.

Pink08

I loved being married, having a home and children until my husband started cheating on me.

Religulous Amanda

No...been married 7 years and I still wouldn't trade Amanda for the world....

Some one over in Religion and Spirituality asked a question related to this once, and I think the advantage Amanda and I have over the "50% divorce rate" couples is that we spent a lot more time planning our lives together than we did planning a wedding....the wedding is ultimately just a symbol...it's the marriage that is the reality....

Many people at a young age say that they are happy being married but as you get older things start to change you have second guess...

Apple Jacks

i would get out of this marriage,

if only i could find the key...

To my late wife No she was great for our 30 years together,
my 2nd marriage is horrible and I want to bump her off.

Lela A

my marriage failed due to HIS abusive ways, I now I have a real sweet heart of a man

Kirsten J

never once in my two years of Marriage did I ever regret it! I love it. I know people say that getting married at a young age almost never works out but so far I think it's going great. My parents have been together for 26 years! They are more in love than the day they got married!

Kim P

I thought I had the perfect marriage, we were married for 15 years. A year and a half ago my son caught my ex husband in bed with another woman. It devastated my son and myself. My ex admitted he had cheated on me the entire time we were married. I now regret marring the wrong man.

ridernc

Yes. When a long term friendship goes sour you just move on. When long term friendships are great and enduring there doesn't need to be any legal representation.

maryam

I am 21 years old and I married my husband when I was 19. We have twin boys who are 1 n half. I love him more than anything in this world and we cannot live without eachother. Yet, I still find myself daydreaming about a different life without him. I think that if we didn't have children, I probably wanted a divorce. And the only reason i can come up with is..i am not happy with his lifestyle.
