re: OT Married men: If you could go back, would you?

quote:

---

I've got four friends who all got married over the last two years and all four have admitted to wishing they hadn't.

You run with unwise friends.

Show me your friends and I'll show you yourself.

Your friends either-

A) Chose mates poorly
B) Weren't/Aren't ready for marriage
C) Both of the above

tl/dr: Don't let people know you have unwise friends. It reflects poorly on you.

(Disclaimer: I have thoroughly enjoyed the past 30-plus years of singular wedded bliss because I was smart, wise, attractive, hard-working and lucky in the early '80s and have remained so until the present.)

Been married going on 40 years to the same woman.

I couldn't get this lucky twice, and out kicked my coverage like you wouldn't believe. Smart enough to know it.

She's aged about as well as Raquel. Can't top that.

I got married about 3 years ago and don't regret it, I wouldn't be where I am in my career if it wasn't for my wife encouraging me through grad school and being ambitious (which encourages me to be ambitious).

Also, we have similar interests in travel and experiencing new places/cultures.

It's not all fun and games though

Was such an open mind I'm sure you have a bunch of classy friends .

No regrets.

It is called life and if you look back you will never enjoy it.
