re: Married guys, do you regret getting married?

1. You have freedom to do anything you want at anytime. 2. No financial barriers 3. Don't have to deal with an irrational pms'ing woman 4. More time to invest in your profession and hobbies I can go on and on. There is really only one pro I see from the married side and it's a family, but then there's divorce.

Well god damn, sounds like you're an idiot who settled for the first decent looking girl who would marry you..

All that shite can be avoided if you can get the right one.. as far as my SO and I, we have our moments, and yes I do miss smashing random strange every now and then, but having a GOOD wife is much better than being in a bar chasing pussy every weekend


Also helps that my SO is probably the best looking girl I've ever been with and I've been with some pretty hot women she's also a damn fine mother to our son


God damn, I'm getting old

Nailed it yellow fin



Also HJJ, you're right the only people that regret it are the ones who picked the wrong woman

I regret who I married, but she was pregnant and I tried to do the right thing.

Been 10 yrs 1/2 of it hell.

Been there. DONE that

Get out man. It might be messy but it is worth it

Regret? Not at all. I'm very happy with my wife.

Wonder what I'd be doing and where I'd be doing it but-for having married my wife? Absolutely. And there's certainly a part of me that yearns for that missed freedom, but I'm very happy with where I am and who I'm with in life.

no ragrets

1. Can have casual sex without marriage, something that is far more common today and accepted than in generations past.

2. Living with a girlfriend, you can enjoy all the benefits of a wife without having to say, "I do." This is a no-risk way to test the idea of marriage.

3. Avoid the financial risks of divorce.

3b. Avoid the inevitable custody battle in court if you have kids with your wife. Studies show women almost always come out ahead.

4. Don't have to worry about my biological clocks,so I can wait until I am older to have children. Dont want to be pressured into marriage by a woman whose primary goal is to have kids.

5. Marriage requires too many changes, compromises and responsibilities. After all, its a lot more fun to go to Bangkok or Fiji when I want and not having to tell anyone.


6. There are very few social pressures to marry. While previous societies people were pressured by religion, employers or society to settle down and say "I do," men today are free from that.

7. Men are reluctant to marry a woman who already has children, primarily to avoid competition and conflict with the children's biological father.

8. Being established financially and being successful in your career is an important goal many men want to achieve before they marry.

9. I want to enjoy the single life as long as possible, especially as I become accustom to having my own space and routines and not being responsible to anyone else.

10. Most women let themself go after marriage.

11.Marriage is an outdated institution, and i dont need anyone to validate any relationship I am in.

12.50% of marriages end up in divorce anyway.

13. Marriage leads to a risky habit of relying on one individual for every emotional need and a lack of any self identity. You merely recognize yourself as a couple and dont understand who YOU are as an individual and what you want as a person.

14. Cost of wedding is nearly $30,000 on average today

15.Living with a woman permanently is like living on another planet where logic has not been discovered yet. When I come home, whether I live alone or with a woman, I want a few simple things and here’s the list:

Silence
Food
Beer
Entertainment (sports usually tops that list since blowjobs went out the window the second we got engaged)

16.Events

You might not realize it but getting married means you just signed up for a lifetime of random events you don’t want to go to. Every few days your wife will tell you about some dumb arse event she wants to go to, and you HAVE to come too. I just love going to the following events:

Weddings
Funerals
Graduations
Graduation Parties
Open houses
Shopping
Company parties

Basically anything during the day on a weekend that doesn’t involve boobs or sports or beer.

17.Television
Real Housewives, Scandal , Greys anatomy, 16 & pregnant, What not to wear.

I love sitting and watching these shows instead of sports or being out doing something adventurous

18.Sex with Only One Person for the Rest of Your Life

19. Blowjobs Go Extinct

20. Ridiculous cost of rings & her expectation thats if its not the right diamond you dont love her

21.When you marry her , you marry her and her problems along with her crazy family.

Basically do what you want when you want how you want and until whenever you want and you have to answer to noone.

Well you sure do talk like you know a lot about what it's like to be married so I figured you were... if you don't know what you're talking about then just shutup and stop spewing out overused incorrect cliches

at times, sure... but overall, no...

I was going to break down your post number by number but I just realized it would be a waste of time because you sound like a selfish, self-centered a-hole so I'd be wasting my time


It's not half as bad as you make it out to seem..

Damn, you sound like the definition of a self centered miserable person.
