Would you do it again .....Marriage

[old guys rule]

the other day there was a posting that asked if you would go back to your youthful days if you could ..and it made me think of other things that people may want to do or redo or not do....so seeing as the divorce rate in America is slightly over 50 percent I was wondering this miserable wintry day if you would do it again...now I know many of us have children so I want you to take that out of the mix..( I would marry anybody/thing to keep my daughter mine ) if your wife sometime peeks over your shoulder while on the computer or visits the site please don't comment ..I don't want to start anything .. just a bored guy on a wintry day wondering .....:thinker:

I got engaged when I was in my early 30's. My fiancé was killed in a car accident (F'n drunk driver). That threw my world into a tailspin for a LOOOONG time. I felt incredible guilt any time I found myself enjoying another woman's company. I finally started dating a girl who I (thought) I had a lot in common with. There was a lot of pressure on me from family and friends to marry her and I finally did. We have been married now for over 10 years. It's not the best, but we make it work. I often wish I had never done it and how my life would be now if the accident had never happened.

Man....I feel your pain. Was totally in love with a girl when I was 17 and she was in love with me too. Her mom had passed away about a year earlier and then her dad was killed. Both of us being 17 we could probably had stayed together but I wasn't about to quit school to go work and she didn't want me too either. She was the oldest out of 4 and they had to move up north to live with relatives so she went with them. We re-united several years ago but we were both married. Well, her husband passed away and I'm divorced now but we are both much different now. I also thought about the 'ifs' but man, gotta let go of those......

I have a wonderful wife and a very happy marriage. However, that took years to accomplish, no,actually decades. In answer to your question, HEEELLLL NOOOO! Life is too short!

 

[slimt]

Hell No. to much down time, non sense trying to fit the needs of a udder half that has no clue on to much of anything. Waste more days making a decision, than just doing.

 

[68BabyBlue]

I would do it again. One wife for 45 years, six GTXs.

 

[Budnicks]

NOPE
once was enough, can't beat perfection
never find another like her (RIP Lisa)

9+ years old thread

 

[33 IMP]

My answer is worthless. Haven't made that mista, uh, haven't done that even once.

Wow this is an old thread, I'm now on year 22 ( 21 with the official papers) with Rebecca. I do see the first wife once in awhile at "family" things - weddings funerals etc. Very Nice Lady just was not into cars and did not understand why anyone would be. Rebecca is a "Car Lady". I told her once - "it would be nice to build a nice garage". She said" what are you waiting for" - " but I get the 2 car attached to the house", so we did. We did a 30x40 footer W/ ten foot ceilings. Had the outside done by contractor we did the rest. Will see if I can find pictures of the way it was before we started our part. Actually used it for our wedding day party (it was at that point just a shell). SO if it's working - mine is great- then you would never think of doing it different!
Can't find any pictures! (stupid computer)! They did floor (slab), windows, siding, roof with the Skylights that I wanted, and the overhead doors (one door 7x7.tall,the other 8w -9ft tall). Just 2x 4 studs showing inside. We (she helped?) did heating, wiring, Sheetrock. Built a 8x8 internal room 7 ft. ceiling - (top of room light storage) inside cabinets and our Library, Hung a 14 x 8 foot storage self over the short garage door all 2x4's 16" on ctr.. It is attached to the trusses (supports go thru sheetrock ceiling) its our heavy storage. Lots of lighting everywhere, four ceiling fans, electrical outlets every 8 ft. (extras over the work benches we made. All can be turned on/off by there own switches. That way you turn on what you want/need. (3500 + Ft. of wire) and hung a natural gas ceiling furnace. Can't beat some that lets you do that ! And build cars and bikes also.

In a few days it will be my 35th wedding anniversary. My wife is reasonable, intelligent and kind. Has it been all wonderful? Of course not - there have been some rough patches. But we have worked through them and I am still happily married. I would do it again in a heartbeat.

 

[JDmac72chrgr]

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY MR & MRS "HAWK"!!!

 

[Nxcoupe]

Absolutely not. No, just, no. I am in one of those 'rough patches' for 8 years now. Weighing options now. It sucks, I love my wife, wanted her holding my hand when I exited this world. Still might, but if not, I'll not repeat the mistake.

 

[chargervert]

I plead the 5th amendment on the grounds that answering the question can and will be used against me in a court of law! I'm 38 years in,and the first 13 years were amazing the next17 not bad,the last 8,the woman only knows that I exist if something breaks around the house or on her vehicles, or if I did something she considered wrong! Everyone in the house is higher on the food chain including the cats! But in her defense who else would put up with me and all my Mopar project cars and parts! She makes me watch the horders show!

Can't believe I got notice that this thread is still kicking around. I seldom come here for a few reasons but to read some of these replies to an nine year old thread is cool. I always said 50% divorced, 25% of the remaining 50% in it for kids and monetary reasons, the rest in a good place. Shaking my sandals, be well.

 

[Runcharger]

True enough: Bottom line is entitled females and immature males I believe. Family is important but there's a reason courts are so slanted in the woman's favour. If the courts weren't so slanted I doubt many men would see any reason to stay in emotionally abusive relationships.

 

[440 PHIXX]

I got these in the mid 80’s, and still have them.

Ya think I got married?

 

[polywideblock]

after 24 years married, I got out. after 15 years on my own ,NO

 

[joe m]

31 years to my high school sweetheart. Even after I left her with a baby to join the navy.

In case you can't come up with the words on your own....tell her with a song!
