i've been married twice

i often regret having married my first wife - i think we married each other for the wrong reasons, and neither of us was a very good partner to the other

i don't regret my second marriage - only the way it turned out

Twice for me too. First one was just a silly thing, we were both teenagers and it never should have happened, both too young. We are friends now though 16 years later. 2nd time was married for 10 years, yes regret it. Was happy for the first 8 til he turned violent and nasty. Now in a huge legal battle with him because he has abducted my child abroad and I haven't seen her for a year.
I won't ever trust anyone enough to marry again. Unless coyote is free! Maybe 3rd time lucky for both of us eh? Hee hee
 
I'm married. Been married since March so its only been not even 4 months. I've been with him close to 5yrs. Oh and no thus far I don't regret it. Don't think I will.

Been married for 4 years, but dated 6 years before that. I was scared early on because I'm so used to being a loner. No regrets though. For me, it helped to marry someone almost as messed up as I am. We both have a great sense of humor to deal with it all.

I'm not - but i want to be. I think that's what life is about.. marriage, kids, togetherness.. it's just getting it that is not so easy

Not likely to get married. I think I'll just turn into one of those spinster/crazy cat lady types. I'm such an introvert and social outcast that I just can't see it happening. I enjoy my alone time too much and I just think it's so unlikely I will ever meet someone I could be happy living with. That would take a rare breed. I intend to be choosy because I'd rather not regret it if I do get married. But I'll probably still be lonely as hell if I don't.

For me, it helped to marry someone almost as messed up as I am.

Ha ha, I think that's what I need to look out for. Ya know how they say, intelligent, good looking and sane - you can only have two? I'll take intelligent and good looking. Not because I'm superficial - other things are more important than looks - but because I think it would take someone with enough of his own issues to be able to understand mine.

Yes, I need someone I can laugh with too. Not too many people would completely get my sense of humour. So far I only know of one.
 
I was married once. Do I regret it? Hell yes!
Biggest mistake I have made and probably ever will make. My extremely low self-esteem I had back then (it's not THAT low now) enabled me to marry the wrong person for me.
I think you have to be so diligent in picking someone who even when life is not going so rosy will still treat you with respect in the hard times.
I don't think I will ever marry again, but that is only because I had such a nightmare experience the first time.

I was with my guy for 8 years, then he broke up with me after convincing me we had to be married. Guess he didn't like his own idea~

I kind of regret the whole relationship to begin with. It's caused so much pain for me since it ended.

I want to have lots of kiddos but never marry. I think the involvement of contracts defiles the sacred beauty of a marriage, love should be all that is required so as long as I am with the woman I love, I will be perfectly happy.

not to dissuade you, but i found that keeping it was harder than getting it

I suppose I meant getting it in terms of getting it with who I really want - the right person. I've had the option many times before, but not from anyone I wanted it with.

It has it's up and downs, like most relationships. My only complaint, and not knocking woman here (For guys can be too!), my wife is lazy as a stay at home mom. Nothing gets done!!! Where usually I have a little bit more drive and ambition so it brings me down sometimes.

Other than that, nothing else really for I already knew my cash flow was going to disappear. Hehehe. It's just how it goes when you have a 2 year old kid too. So I guess in the end, I'm in a average relationship wish that was better. =P

I find that it would be very inconvenient for someone like us to get married to a perfectly normal partner.

I think understanding of your issues alone is not enough (let alone being ignorant of their existence,) still may cause problems in future, unless the other side has the same issues as yours (that doesn't mean there are no exceptions though.)

If I found a partner with my same issues I would be willing to get married, after making sure we're fit with the other respects of course.

There are plenty of people out there without SA who are understanding enough to be with someone with SA. Infact i think it is better to find someone who does not have it so that they can help you through, otherwise you're just both scared, where's the real encouragment and where can you draw strength from when you need it?
