married people only?

Question

be honest are there times when you wish you where still single??

and no av not had an affair or would i!!!

Answer 1

No, my husband was my best friend before we started dating and I can't imagine not being around him everyday.

Answer 2

Honestly, no. I think many people feel trapped by marriage, and my guess would be that it is largely people who marry young.

I've always felt that the minimum marriage age should be 25, for this very reason. First of all, people should have all the time they need to sow their wild oats. Second, think of how much emotional growth happens from the ages of 18-25. You become a totally different person in those 7 years.

I married my wife when I was 32 (she was 30). We had both lived enough to know what we want (and just as important, what we DON'T want) in a life partner, and today (4 years later) we couldn't be happier.

Marriage is not always easy - sometimes it can be downright hard work. If you're having these feelings, it's important that you have some serious heart-to-heart talks with your wife. It might not be a good idea to tell her in those words (that you sometimes wish you were single), but express your concern about the relationship. Perhaps some marriage counseling would be in order (I know some people who did this and it was a HUGE help).

I hope that helps. I wish you the best of luck.

Answer 3

All the time sweetie. But you need to know who you are before you can even entertain the thought. My husband and I have been married for 20 years. We've been through good and bad. He has been tempted, as I have been. As far as I know he has been faithful, as I have been. When people flirt with me I have to weigh out the pro's and con's, what would happen if.............
Then I realize, it wouldn't be worth it to act on impulse. You really get to know a person after twenty years, and I would really hate to have to go through all of that again.
So in answer, being single would be new and fun, but not it wouldn't have substance. It would soon get old and shallow. I know who I am, and I know what I need and don't need. Then I don't act on impulse. Yes there are times when I wish I was single.........but it wouldn't be worth losing all that I have with the life I'm leading now.

Answer 4

Not really, your as happy as you want to be.If you think about the things you miss as a single man compare that to what you've gained as a married man. And if it just pops into your head once in a while when life and home get stressful, your just remembering back to a similar time. If your always thinking of being single it sounds like there's something missing in your marriage. I would talk to your wife about how you feel, and find a way to fix it.

Answer 5

Never do I wish I were single. Often I wish I didn't have as many responsibilities, but I thank the stars everyday that I have a happy marriage.

I think that if you do wish you were single, on a regular basis anyway, that you have an unhappy marriage, and maybe you SHOULD be single.

Answer 6

No, there is nothing I would want to face alone. He is my rock. There isn't any joy that wouldn't be increased by sharing it with him. There isn't any other man who even looks good next to him, and its not that hes a movie star either.
All the reasons I see people wishing to be single are based on the fact that they think things will be better without their spouse. I'm too sensible for that. I know whats good and real in a relationship, and I've got it and I'm grateful.

Answer 7

Listen, pal - user names follow people around.

You are not going to get a very scientific response when everyone knows their spouse or friends could read what they say here.

That's why so many surveys start off by assuring respondents complete anonymity.

What you'll get a lot of here is "Oh goodness no. I love my wife every second of every day and have never have a second thought for one brief second of my blissful married existence with her."

And so on.

Answer 8

There is not one person who is married that will say no. If they do, they are lying. When you are single, you think you want something more in a relationship. Then you get married, and everything out there looks more enticing. You think, am I really with the person who I am supposed to be with and then you meet another girl and wonder what it would be like to be with her. The truth is, you will never be satisfied.

Answer 9

Absolutely! But just in a passing thought which is normal. I've been married 30 years and it's not always a bed of roses. A certain level of give and take and the 'learned acceptance' that life is not here for our pleasure but for our character and integrity. I'm sure my wife feels the same way. Neither one of us would have done it differently. Happiness is just a state of mind and is never constant. True happiness is found on the road road to 'get there' and achieved only through your character and integrity. Are you sorry you asked?

Answer 10

Yes ,I do wish at times .......but those times are only when i'm in the downward phase of the married life!!!Personal advise don't let temporary feelings take over you........think of all the good times u shared with your loved one.....and u will have the answer to all your problems!!

Answer 11

NOPE. i had an amazing single life. I have no complaints but would I trade my married life for that again.....Hell No.
The only thing my husband and I do apart is work. After work hours we do everything together and if there is something that I have to do alone then I miss him. He is my best friend.
