My time with my kids IS “me” time.
Yea I agree. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy my sitting in recliner after a hard day at work drinking a little whiskey while they are outside. When weather is nice I’ll go outside and watch them play while sipping on whiskey. Overall though, prefer to be with them. Unfortunately my oldest I worked a different career doing shift work where I was exhausted all the time and missed out on a bunch with her. Made up for it with my younger 2
Eta: Very close to my oldest, sweet lady, almost more like best friends now

still married

Would you do it again?
Not legal in my state, and I love my wife. I don’t think adding a third to the mix would be beneficial.

Are married men actually happy?
That’s not really a narrow enough group to draw conclusions from. I’m plenty happy. I know plenty of married guys who aren’t. I didn’t get married to be happy. I do think I’m happier now than I was before I was married.

How much of ME time do you get before/after kids?
As much as the two of us are willing to make for each other. Marriage is just two people choosing to work together forever and promising to do that. If time between the two of you is important, I you find it. We go out one night a week together to a small group without kids and an additional 1-5 nights per month. We have a similar work schedule.

Married and very happy. Would marry the same one again for sure. She is really good people, plenty of tolerance for my thick-headedness. I could spill tomato sauce all over and she'd just grab a rag and help clean up. Ergo I go out of the way to not do dumb stuff and abuse her generosity.
Also, NO PICS. ha!!!

I did married again, but what’s this me time you speak of?

Yes I would get married again if I had to do it over. To the same woman.
And the more you realize that life is not about making yourself happy, but pouring into others, the happier you’ll be.
Give me freedom and a family, and I’ll be a happy man.

If something happened to my wife, I really don't know what I'd do. Seriously, you reay are basically one unit.
I think I would hang out at a bar/ club of 20-30 somethings and play sugar daddy after a while and in general be half miserable.

I’m single and miserable. No matter what I do, I cannot attract a good beautiful woman. I’m 55 years old so my time is coming to an end.

Marriage is worth it and I am grateful I met the woman I did.
This.
Married early, when in the service. Gave it a couple years and woke up to the fact it was a mistake of youth.
Roughly twenty years later finally met the right one. Wouldn’t change a thing.
I’m a very lucky man

Absolutely would do it again. It’s not all roses. There are good and bad times. I believe it makes you a more complete person. There’s nothing more fulfilling than raising a family. I highly recommend it.

We've only been married for 40 years, but I will let you know if it works out.
Seriously, I would marry her again in a second, but not sure about anyone else - either way. :)
We are uniquely well paired.
I often joke that I am on an extended trip with my best friend.

Been married 7 years. Dating for 5 years before that. Friends for years before we started dating. Have two great kids together. Love my wife and would happily do it all over again.
My wife and I talked a lot when we were dating about our goals in life and made sure we were good partners for each other and our future kids.
Marriage isn’t easy and it’s not something you should take lightly and it’s not for everyone. It’s work and it’s tough but if you put in the work with someone you love there’s nothing more worthwhile. Life isn’t a fairytale. Marriage is work and happiness is a choice. Anyone who says otherwise is lying.
Before? Plenty. After? Not much for a few years, but the time you don’t get to yourself is spent raising your kids so you don’t miss it much.

41 years to my better half. With family you are never lonely, that's important. Have all the me time I want or need but we have prioritized us time the last 3 years. Beyond happy, really blessed to have found THE one.

Brazilian bitches are as crazy as they are hot. But she takes good care of me and my daughter. Would do again with her. Now some of the stories here and from friends I don’t know if I’d marry another after her.

Married 26 years and we still love each other.
We have greatly improved each other’s life and I would marry her again in a heartbeat.
We are actually nice to each other.
Not very much me time but we like doing things together.
If she dies I’m not getting married again.
But I hope we both have 30 more years together.

36 years on the 11th. There have been hiccups and struggles but overall I wouldn’t change a thing.
