re: Married guys, do you regret getting married?

I'm sure your boyfriend is in no hurry..

1. I care about consistent sex. If I have that (which i do on my marriage), I don't need casual

2. Didn't mind saying "I do." Locked down the pussy

3. Marry the right girl and you won't want to divorce

3b. Marry the right girl and forge a stable family

4. So don't marry a woman who just wants kids instead of you? I've been married over 5 years and we're just now seriously considering starting a family

5. Change is a part of life. So is responsibility, married or not. Stop being afraid. Plus, traveling with your best friend is a great time.

6. The absence of social pressures makes it even easier to marry the right gal that suits your fancy

7. I have no experience with that. Not all marriages face that circumstance, obviously.

8. I married a gal that was willing to support me while I pursued my career goals. And vice versa.

9. Again with your being scared of responsibility Really ain't no thang.

10. Marry a fitness nut. Problem solved. My wife is in better shape now than when we met (and she was athletic then )

11. Marriage isn't outdated. Sorry.

12. Bit of a misleading statistic. Again, marry the right gal.

13. Having each other to lean on doesn't mean you lose your identity/ability to stand on your own two feet. What a dumb take

14. Elope. Done. That's what we did.

15. I still get food/beer/entertainment. Don't need silence.

16. Coordinate your social calendars so you know what's coming up. Level with each other about which you really want to attend and which you can ditch.

17. Marry a gal with similar interests. We never fight over the TV. She watches sports with me and we watch mostly the same shows.

18. Marry someone adventurous in the sack. Easy fix.

19. My wife blows tBBC on the reg

20. Marry a girl who's grounded and doesn't place stock in bullshite. Engagement ring was cheap as hell but she didn't care because she wanted to be with me.

21. My in-laws are awesome. Flying out to visit them in North Carolina tomorrow.

Your list is dogshit. Quit your carping.

Such an intelligent response. Do you have more?

No cliché bullshite.

I don't regret it at all. Choose your mate wisely. I'm cresting 20 years this summer and I'm happy as can be. Monogamy doesn't have to be boring either, but I won't bore you with the details.

Now, if for some reason I don't cross the finish line with Mrs. slacker130, I won't ever get married again. One time deal for me.

That whole list can be busted if you marry the right person. That's the key. I don't regret getting married at all and am a happier person since I did.

Not really.

I'll rank them in this order

1. Good marriage
2. Single life
3. Drowning
4. Burned alive
5. Other elaborate torture
6. Death
7. Bad marriage

So obviously people's opinion will differ depending on their marital experience.

With respect to #7 - yes. Being in a bad marriage almost feels like a total waste of time - and like being gut punched every day. We're not meant to be unhappy people - it's in our nature to be happy, so and unhappy marriage leads to an unhappy life. I know - been there.

The guys that will tell you how bad marriage is are either....

A. Single never married
B. In a bad marriage
C. Divorced

The problem with marriage is nobody unless they are complete idiots is going into it thinking its going to be bad..They are in love and its sooo incredible.. but Nobody stays the same after being together every damn day for 20+ years..

in my business I deal with clients all the time who are in their 70s still married but live in separate homes. They hate each other but don't want to deal with a divorce at their age.

He may be but most of those points are pretty spot on

I didn't read them all, so I wouldn't know. I will say the notion that marriage is a money drain is incorrect. It is a massive boon to your pocket book if you combine incomes.
