How many of you feel you married the wrong person?

I am curious...... and this would be a question to all those who are currently married...which i am not. How many of you feel that you married the wrong person and feel stuck for whatever reasons or just wish you never got married period? I have seen many couples change after getting married....and also know many people who are married and unhappy for years...but stay in the marriage for the sake of kids...money..house...etc. How many of you married folks feel that if you had the chance to do it all over again ...you wouldn't marry?

 

I know I feel that way and it was a big mistake and hard to explain. I believe most people feel this way.

 

To Lost1975 Why are you not married?

 

I've found that the reasons I stay married are different that those that caused me to get married.

I've learned that being married has been different that I thought or hoped it would be. Is it a disappointment? One of the things I've learned about marriage is that its life doesn't avoid disappointing folks, and still folks have to keep on, even though life is different than they thought.

If I had the chance to do it over? I'm sure I would do a lot of things differently than that romantic, horny young fool did.

 

I think that the divorce rate has been around 50%. And many of those who stay married are often unhappy with their marriages.


still, many people who get divorced don't necessarily regret their marriages, it was just time to move on

 

Well..personally.. it is illegal for me to get married as i am a lesbian..living in the state of IL ..and the one and only relationship i've ever been in...it was never seriously discussed...

 

The 50% divorce rate is a myth

Here is one calculation that puts the estimate at 30-33%, and explains how the 50% rate was derived, and the faulty logic it uses.

There is no easy way to calculate an estimate though and any estimate has a rather high percentage of error.

 

I married the wrong person, I thought I was stuck because we had two kids. I decided Id rather be happy and left his sorry ass.

 

I married the right person and I definitely fell stuck, alright - on him.

 

Let Me Guess, One Dark And Stormy Night, You Decided To Make Love, But Since There

Was A Power Outage And The Room Was Black, You Picked Up The Wrong Tube,

So Instead Of "Super-Lube", You Used "Super-Glue"....



Cheers Glen.

 

To Amy...how long have you been married?

 

I believe you shouldn't speak for most people. I've worked hard to have a happy marriage. I don't have any regrets.

 

Six years, but I fell in love with him when I was 14 - I'm 27 now.

 

Married the perfect guy for me. 19 years together, with ups and downs, but always thought it would be worse without him than fighting with him. And, the good always comes back around. He makes me laugh every day, and is a great sex, and life partner.

One of my friends recently seperated from her husband and we talked about what she would look for in a new guy/relationship if the time ever came again. I told her I would basically be looking for my husband again, if something ever happened to him or between us. That says a lot!
