What has your marriage cost you?

Question

someone just asked a Q if marriage could last that sparked this Q in me.........

are you truly happy,
or do you feel your marriage, in the end, has cost you something....anything?

whether it was worth it or not isn't my point, by the way, just if you feel it cost you anything.

Answer 1

It has cost me everything, but it has paid off 100 fold, pressed down, shaken together, running over.

Answer 2

Love as in Marriage is like Death of The freedom and to be
able to under stand that..is like as sacred Awe as to
Survive life before death were everyone is waiting around to Die For And after its funeral we are left with..if only to live it
all over again..! like riding a roller coaster hell the roll up that hill
and the though of its survival then there you reached it degree
and you are sure nothing can happen then Down you go
just rolling again Stop Heck no more gone the excitement,,
well think about that,, you eight er keep Your feet on the
ground face it ..or get back on for the trill of it all alone
Honey,,good luck.. I WILL DO IT ONLY ONCE,,
Heck NO..the privilege and experience as was too hard to handle a memory ever lasting Better to have had yet it was not Appreciated Why try it all over again,,
as MARRIAGE IS AN OMEN AS in life or death it bids its
TIME everlasting [ How can anyone believe it was a mistake the FIRST TIME and the second time you will try
what in what life in one hope in what you lived as
whom are we to think we will handle it again,,on a second
turn around,!! Well what did you Know it was only a job,,!!!
Better to retire and never do it again then to live it all over
the life you left to build it with that knowledge of living the old
and sleeping with the dead And the left overs of Memory
SAY RATHER GUILT then experience Common Sense
NO...!!well eight er way its a new start not that it can not be done BUT YOU WILL HAVE A TOUGHER JOB
separating each others LAUNDRY,, good luck to you both
But Marriage continues For better or worst
WE change life does not change..it has its Rules !!

Answer 3

There is no marriage that comes free. Money is the least that marriage costs. Some times it costs you your soul, you dignity, pride, sleep, I could go on and on, but in a good marriage what you get back is unexplainable, but its so amazing that its greater then anything that it has cost you. I have been married for 6 years, and together for 8. It has cost me all of thees things plus, but if I could go back and change anything, I wouldn't. My husband and I have built a beautiful life together, and those things don't come for free.

Answer 4

My marriage has not cost me anything. It has taught me so much about love, respect, and what it is really like to have that special someone that you want to wake up every morning to. I am so happily married that it would make some people jealous. I have been married to my man for 13 years and the fire is still burning hot. I was married before and it just about cost him his life. I was ready to throw in the towel and kill him! LOL! He cost me so much. Unfortunately he cost our daughter even more. Thank God my present husband has filled her real fathers shoes, so she too can be happy.

Answer 5

It's cost me my old lifestyle. I've had to get rid of friends I used to hang out with because I simply don't have time for them anymore. I've also gotten rid of any freedom I have. I mean I am not in a controlling marriage and I can typically do what I want, but things always change once you are married whether you want them to or not. You find yourself with new committments and always having to put your spouse before others and for those in your life who aren't married, it's hard for them to understand why you have to do the things you do.

Answer 6

No I wasn't and that is why I am seperated. It cost me my happiness. I struggled for 8 years to make it work,I was miserable. I am happier now than I have been in years.I can't say it was a complete lose,I have my children and I like my soon to be ex better and we get along because we are both happier. I wish I had made the decision sooner is all.

Answer 7

I am truly happy. I also believe I'm one of the lucky few who can honestly say that and mean it. It hasn't cost me anything.

Answer 8

Three houses and about £100,000!
I now own my own house in my own name and will never marry again!
Once was enough!
I can't understand people who have been married three/four times, have a string of kids from different mothers and spend their life visiting their kids and paying off the Child Support Agency.

Answer 9

Yeah, it's cost me a bunch of my possessions, time with my children and thousands of dollars. Still does, although not nearly as much.

Answer 10

My first one cost me my dignity, my self-esteem, and my ability to trust my own judgement.

In my second, I'm getting all that back.
