Has anybody ever regreted getting married ?

Answer 1

Yes... I got married to my 2nd husband and was moving out one year later to the day. We "fell" into it and neither had the balls to back out. It was a terrible mistake! It was a waste of my time and number! :-)

Answer 2

Definitely! My first marriage was TERRIBLE! We were each other's first love, both from broken homes, ADORED each other, but had very little in common. He was four years older... After five years of living together and going through tragedies that most married couples don't experience in 50 years of marriage, we decided to get married thinking it would bring us closer. It didn't. We both wasted five more years in a terrible situation. I finally filed for divorce and after it was done, we went out on a date and haad THE BEST time we'd had in ten years! We ran in to each other only once more after that and it was nice.... sad.... but some nice memories too... We should NEVER have been married and it's sad that SO many "kids" in their 20's do the same thing. Today's world is SO awful and people are SO insecure that they cling to anything familiar, especially someone they think they know well and see often... the mistake is thinking that's the kind of relationship that can endure what life throws at us during the next 40-50 years! My second marriage was planned and we're truly soul mates. I can't imagine my life without my husband and feels the same about me. We're BEST friends and LOVE each other... going strong at 17 years and looking forward to MANY more!

Answer 3

Yes. Doesn't mean the institution of marriage is flawed, however. I had a very strict upbringing plus an abusive mother (and a dad who hid behind her) which resulted in me having very low self esteem. I met my now husband in high school and couldn't believe a man as handsome as him would fall for me - and he did - so rather than evaluate things with a rational mind, I just kept thinking that this was too good to be true and decided he was IT. I was 18 years old. We dated and I followed him to another town for university where I made very few friends and developed very few outside interests to cater to him (he did not demand this). Fast forward 8 years and we are now married for a year and a half, and you know what, I'm starting to realize that maybe I should have lived my life instead of just sticking with this. But I didnt have the guts bc I didn't think I deserved him to begin with. Now with the help of therapy I know better, and my hubby is 90% a great guy, but I can't help but think about those years lost. Especially after getting married because our sex life now stinks. If you're thinking of getting married, calm the eff down and think about why, and then take some more time to think about it. If you're doing it to fill some void in you, understand that marriage can't fill that void and take some time to work on yourself before getting married. Looking back, thats what I would have done - lived on my own for a few years and just let myself be, before settling down and getting married. Just my two cents.

Answer 4

Oh, yes. I married for the first time VERY young, we both were, and as we 'grew up' we had nothing in common except for our 2 daughters. That young you think you have it all figured out, but you are far from it, things change from views on politics, religion, raising children and it pulled us apart and if we'd not come to our senses it could have destroyed our girls too. I waited 7 years before I remarried, I'm a little wiser, know more of what I want out of life, and found a husband that is 'my nitch' in almost every way.

Answer 5

#1~ Regret it, got married cause I was pregnant,,,duh?
#2~ Regret it, got married cause "his" mom and dad called us sinners for living together.
#3~ Regret it, got married cause I was too drunk to know my *** from my head

Now at 37 years old divorced the third time since 2000. Single, and finally know what its like to actually be "in love". The only reason I would marry if I could do it over again "love".

Then you may say,,,,how do you know if you are in love?

Sit down one day and figure out who you are. Write down what you want. Write down what you expect from a mate, your needs mental, social, physical, economical, hobbies, passions, personality, etc. Write it all down and look at Your Lifestyle. In my life, I have found that special someone that will compliment me, not compete, control, hinder, or try to change me. I think that finding what reality is for you would be true love. 100% compatibility. Keeping your own identity, and melding with in another to make a true loving partnership........True love.....only reason we should marry!!!

Answer 6

yes in some ways i do regret it, dont get me wrong i love my husband very much and in june it will be 6 years, but i think i was entirely too young and really didnt get to experience alot.....i got married when i was 16 and he was 22 i am now 22 and i wish i could just got out and have a good time. that i think is my biggest regret

Answer 7

I married my high school sweetheart after 10 years. We both went in different directions and found each other later in life after we both had encountered failed relationships. We married 2 years ago, happily as we have never married before. MY ONLY TWO REGRETS is not marrying him to begin with, and that he has an evil ex with two children by her who she impregnates with evil stories about us. The kids are reluctant to see their father, he is depressed and I feel like the culprit. This does not hurt our relationship, but it does hurt. Plus the kids are getting the crap end of the deal.

BTW what are your intentions with your relationship? just curious!

Answer 8

I do not regret marrying my husband. He is the greatest man in the world. But that doesn't mean everything is easy. What I regret is almost leaving him.

Answer 9

Everyday of my married life. Not marriage itself but the man I married. The only positive thing that has came out of my marriage so far has been the birth of my beautiful baby girl in March.

Answer 10

I think that at some point in everyone's marriage they have had second thoughts. I know that at times I have felt that way but then my husband comes home and I remember why I married him.

Answer 11

Absolutely , when you marry the wrong person. they can make your live a living nightmare..... I was begged not to marry my first wife by my parents but wouldn't listen to reason. It only lasted 2 years but I paid for my mistake still to this day
