regrets of marriage?

Question

has anyone ever regreted marrying their spouse and years down the line they realise they have made the biggest mistake in their life,but its too late and too complicated to do anything about it, and no i dont mean my relationship.

Answer 1

Wow,that's a big big question. We all have regrets about relationships.I spent 10 years in a relationship that was going nowhere,I could never see it that way,even though all my friends told me so !
In the end I had to admit defeat as far as the relationship was concerned,I don't regret ever meeting the girl or indeed the relationship but do wish I had been able to change the outcome of our encounter.
However having said that I would probably make the same mistake all over again if I was placed back in time !
We can learn from our mistakes but they do say that history repeats itself !
Good luck !

Answer 2

I have no regrets. It took me ages to get married to my husband due to family complications but we got there in the end and both families are as happy as we are. It's never too late for change - if you are not happy then find a way to make yourself happy otherwise what is the point of living if not for some joy in your life. It's really sad to hear stories of marriages that just go terribly wrong. I really wish sometimes that people could just work things out and everything would just be a bed of roses. Sometimes it takes a few mistakes or mishaps to get you going in the right direction. Our own choices determine our own happiness. Happiness is a choice. Sometimes we will have regrets and we will make mistakes but the important thing is to learn the lesson from it, look at the positive side and move on being more knowledgeable about certain things in certain situations. Things may seem complicated when you look at the whole picture all at once but take things one step at a time and it will be more manageable and not as complex. Anyway, only the individual within the marriage which is failing can determine the outcome. My sincere regards. I only pray and hope things will work out for the best for all parties involved so they both can find happiness. Prayers are with you.

Many many people regret marrying - and although it is never too late to do something about it many don;t on the basis better the devil you know - and the grass may not be greener.

They say that almost 50% of marriages break down, but the reality is it is higher than that I know people who separate but don;t get divorced and I know people who stay with a spouse they don;t want to be with - for many reasons, confidence children finances pity fear.....

But if you get a good marriage there is nothing like it!

Answer 4

No, I have no regrets about any of my marriages - married for the 3rd time now, and even though the first two ultimately didn't work out, the decision to marry was a good decision under the circumstances. I don't feel it makes sense to evaluate past decisions from today's standpoint; yes, I would not have made the same decisions now, but when I did make them, it wasn't now, it was then; a totally different set of challenges and circumstances.

Answer 5

sure I remorseful about marrying the guy I did. yet i became youthful and had numerous complications, So in any case we stayed married for thirty years, ( I divorced him) because we believed in staying married. we are all we've, I stay with him, now we been together considering the fact that 1966, except for decades after the divorce. we are only acquaintances. I nonetheless ask your self what it ought to were like if i'd have married some different person. yet it really is existence. we can effective goof up. i wager we've only common one yet another. if you're fairly unhappy then do what ever it takes to make your self satisfied. God will forgive you.

Answer 6

Yes I regret my marriage. I rushed in to it and did it for all the wrong reasons. We have been together 11 years. Its not always easy to say yes let's split, we have 2 children to think about. At the moment our future is hanging by a thread, so who knows what will happen. I think a lot of wifes stay because it's the money you have to worry about. A wife has to support herself and her children, its a BIG change in life.

Answer 7

As long as you have life left it isn't too late. If you are miserable and unhappy you need to do something about it. If that means leaving him or her then do it. There is always a way if you want it bad enough. Why spend the rest of your life miserable with regrets?

Answer 8

Yes, that is why it's so important you really know what you are getting into and who you are marrying. Making sure you are past the passion, and lust, and actually marrying someone you have gone through some hard times with - lets face it we are all great when things are going smoothly, though its when there is stress, pressure, and hard times the real person comes out. Someone once told me if you really want to know who you are dating, ask them for a break and see how they respond - you will see their true colors. Seems like a game, but surprisingly it is true.

Answer 9

I didn't regret who I married, she was a good gal. I regret having her take care of all the bills, not having a full time job outside the household. Separate checking and savings would have been a good thing too.

Answer 10

Well, I was in a horrid marriage for 8 years, but I ended up with this really great kid. I think the worst thing you can do is stay in marriage where you're not happy, not just because they didn't take out the trash, but for long term reasons.

I think everyone is responsible for their own happiness, and you really don't want to waste your life living a mistake.

So, I regretted the marriage because I didn't get out sooner, but I'm glad I have my child.
