Being from a different generation, I would marry my wife again. We were taught and learned to work through the good and bad times together. If she goes before me, I’ll never marry again.

Now, if I were a young man in the current world climate, where divorce is easy and stacked against men, I’d never get married and damn sure would not knock up some random hoe.

No

Yes, even more when I stopped being a selfish a-hole.

How much of ME time do you get before/after kids?

Plenty, and I try my best, my absolute best to get my wife to have some of her own.

Same wife? 100% yes, in a heartbeat. I'll be alone if, God forbid, she goes first though.

I know I am for sure.

I mean that changes for everyone unless you're not involved in your kids' lives, but I still have plenty.

Extremely happy, but don’t think I could be with someone else if something ever happened, but if I did she would have smaller hands, for my complex!!

Wouldn’t take a billion for her and wouldn’t give you a wooden nickel for another one just like her

Yes. But to reiterate what others have noted…. It takes a lot of time and experience to pick the right partner.

I wouldn’t recommend it for everyone, and only for those who are family minded.

ten years this month

i am still happy

How much ME time? alot, we dont have to be on top of each other 24/7. no kids. neither of us wanted them.

would i do it again? yeah probably. Sometime i wonder what it would be like to be single again. probably a huge pain in the arse and would just hang out with my dog.

If I could find someone like my wife that:
- has no hangups or insecurities
- is tall and slim and yet curvy (no pics)
- has no health issues
- can outwork most men her age
- that I never, ever fight with
- that is a happy, silly drinker
- everybody loves her
- makes damn good money
- loves to whoop it up and dance
- makes everyone feel comfortable
- is not a deep thinker or controlling
- can slap a great meal together in 20 mins
- hates to shop
- can dress on the trashy side when appropriate
- equally content binging on Netflix all day or going on a strenous mountain hike (as long as there's wine after)
- wakes up next to me in the morning, her eyes open and she says "you want some booty?", after which the party starts

If I could find another woman like that, then yeah, I would do it.

Marry again - 100%
Happy - yes
Before kid 1 - all I wanted
After kid 1 - enough
After kid 2/3 and currently - almost none, but whatevs. Being needed and loved unconditionally is a powerful feeling.

If something happened to my wife I’d have a mental breakdown. I can’t imagine life without her. Don’t regret marrying her one bit, she may regret marrying me though

if you need "me" time, atleast any substantial time then dont get married and have kids....you are way too immature for it and will end up divorced in short order.

raising good kids is a sacrifice.

but to answer your question, yes i would do it again and yes i am happy. as far as me time, around 8 everyone is in bed and i go lift weights in the garage 4 or 5 times a week. as far as other things...we are usually busy with sports or school stuff but i still go play golf 5 or 6 times a year and go finishing about the same amount. usually attend 1 lsu game, just me and a buddy...though i prefer bringing my kids and seeing the joy on their face.

Yes.

Yes, some of us are happy.

“Me” time depends. If I really want to do something, I do it. I enjoy spending time with my family and kid though, so I’m usually where they are.

This 100%. I'd marry her all over again but I'd never get married again if this doesn't work out.

Going on 21 years married, 23 together. Three kids, 15, 11, and 6. Would absolutely do it all over again, without hesitation.

And you’re thinking about this all wrong: My time with my kids IS “me” time. I do what I enjoy pretty much whenever I want. Just now, I have someone to share those things with and pass them on to. And I’ve learned I enjoy things that my kids love that I never knew about before having them.

It’s a win-win for me. Wouldn’t change a thing.
