Holy shit, sometimes it sucks being alone then all I need to do is come on here to read the X amount of threads on page 1 describing how shitty their marriage is. Hell I was almost engaged out of a 7 year relationship and she broke it off and a singles mans life is where its at. I'm sure I am the minority here at 25 but damn some of you guys have it rough in marriage.

The times I've been in a relationship and wished I wasn't in a relationship are far greater than the times I've not been in a relationship and wished that I was in a relationship.

Personally, I like being single.

I'm beginning to wonder if everyone else on the planet has a shitty marriage, or if the good ones are just quiet....

My wife is so fucking awesome, I couldn't ask for more. She treats me great, more pie after 10 years of marriage than ever - usually "whatever" I want. She loves to shoot (is better than I am) and has actually told me before that we don't have enough food and ammo,  Even after 2 kids, she looks better than she ever has and is training for a women's figure competition this fall.

I met her 14 years ago and she STILL makes my pulse raise just by looking at her. Not all women are f-ing crazy and sometimes its awesome being married.

Marriage is probably like college: you never hear from the students who do what needs to be done but you always hear an earful from the "drama queens" who always have some excuse as to why their fucked-up life is preventing them from studying, making it to class on time, etc.

I married a farm girl.

Happily married for 17 years. Garage full of motorcycles. Safe full of guns.

Life could not be better. Swingset is right... Life isn't a 24-hour sex-party. But I am happy. She is happy. And the kids' tummies are full when they go to bed...

To add another positive experience to the field. Wife and have been married for 10, together for 15 and have a kid. Sex all the time, great conversations and we share a lot of hobbies. One negative is my wife is not a great cook, she can follow a recipe but can not freehand in the kitchen. Cooking/Baking/BBQ is my speciality anyway so it works out but to be fair she has improved over the years.

Like anything in life, a happy marriage is part luck, part skill and part hard work.

Listening to some of the "my marriage sucks never make that mistake" threads is like listening the FSA complain how they got an unfair shake at life, job, success, money, etc....

Those that suck at something tend to complain the loudest.

YMMV.

Never married.  



I usually have a girlfriend or roommate with benefits.  



I regret never finding that special someone sometimes, but it's just not meant to happen for some folks.  I wont ever be an astronaut either.  It's just not something that is worth losing sleep over.

Been with the same chick 10yrs now, almost like being married.  Sucks sometimes, great others.  Don't see the sense in getting married, but probably might as well get married.  No doubt that being single has it's benefits.  But I always found that it's easier to get girls when you've already got one.  Wierd how that works.  And at 25 you shouldn't be worried about getting married anyways.  And you better live with a chick for at least 3yrs before you get married anyways.  Everything changes when you live together, and not really for the better.  That's the true test on whether it'll work or not.

I have thouroughly enjoyed all of my failed relationships. Including the one I'm in right now.

Being alone sucks.

Being married to a slothful person sucks more.

ETA: Uhhhhhh, that came out wrong. I am not in a failed relationship right now. She is far from slothful either. I WAS married to slothful person.

Another awesome marriage here. 17yrs together, 10 married. There are good and bad weeks. Sometimes she wants it more than me(18hr days, for weeks, at work), she can cook, and has a job.

Now my EX, after marriage, couldn't find the kitchen, the bedroom, or work.

This is strangely similar to my experience.  I've only been married 12 years and she doesn't shoot "quite" as good as me, but I can't imagine it being any better than I have it.

I wouldn't base relationship success on shit you read here.  No offense to anyone, and I'm not calling anyone out.  Hell I've been divorced.  But quite a few guys here have issues that surely contributed to the failure of their relationships.  

I wouldn't take anyone seriously that says "all women are whores",  "if you give them enough rope they'll fuck you over", "I bought a new gun I hope my s/o doesn't find out (when they're being serious and not joking around)" or if they respond to any and all relationship problems no matter how minor by saying "she's fucking someone else".

I'll agree that there are guys with good marriages out here.  I don't know how I managed to catch her, but my wife has been great for 26 years of marriage and another two years in a relationship before that.  OP needs to keep stay calm and keep looking.

Once upon a time a prince asked a beautiful princess to marry him and she said no, after that the prince lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and fucked skinny big tittied broads and hunted and raced cars and went to tittie bars and dated women half his age and drank whiskey , beer and capt morgan and never heard bitching and never paid child support or alimony and ate the pussies and ass fucked cheerleaders and he kept his house and cars and guns and never got cheated on while he was at work , and all his friends and family thought he was cool as fucking hell and he had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up. the end

My first marriage was a mistake and shouldn't have happened.

My daughters are beautiful and wonderful children though and on their own, make me a happy man.  I do wish I'd had them with my current wife.

My second (and last) marriage should have been my first... I knew both women at the same time but chose poorly.

With how well it's going now (3 years in to this one), I know I made a serious mistake back in 93.

C'est la vie.

I felt the same way, but have to come to accept that the only way to ensure that there are still people to fight for future generations is to get married and have a pile of kids.

I enjoy being single, but if those of us left do not procreate and raise an army, our way of life will cease to exist very soon.

I'm 3 years in and hope to say the same thing in 10. Marriage, like all relationships is something you work at. Everyone has issues, you just have to make sure that your issues are compatable with her issues.

Been almost two years now, and I'd do it all over again.  
3/4/2013 5:11:06 AM EDT
[#41]

23 years ago I stood before my friends and family and swore an oath to almighty God to love and honor no matter what.  Decades and two kids kids later and I wouldn't change a thing.  Are you going to have challenges and hard times?  Sure you are, but that is life my friend.  When all is said and done, I'll have my wife (& friend lifelong partner) by my side, making me a grilled cheese & soup when I'm sick, and holding my hand as I take the last nap in the hospital.  Will have kids with good memories and hopefully good morals, and a son to build on the family name.

Too many people choose a mate because of their looks or how easy they are to get in the sack.  Those things can fade, or backfire.  When making a lifelong choice, choose wisely.

Cheers

This

Do not compromise any of your values/ideals for anyone. She should at least respect your opinions, even if she doesn't agree with 100% of them, and you her's.

Married almost four years, two children so far and plan on one more maybe next year. I didn't get married until I was about one month from turning 30. Wife rides motorcycles (has her own soft-tail) and likes to shoot (4H instructor). She thinks we need more ammo, wants to get her concealed license, and even most of her political views align with mine. She quit her job to be a stay at home mom to make sure our kids are raised properly. She supports my recent return to college to finish my Bachelor's degree, which I would not be able to handle in my busy schedule without her. Sure, we have an occasional disagreement, but everyone does, this is not fairytale land. We work through our disagreements. If I had to do it over again, it would still be the same. If the relationship doesn't feel right before marriage, marriage will not fix it.

I think it is because of the fact that us happy guys dont have anything to complain about.

I have been with my wife for 6 years, married last sept.
We never fight, she dont say a damn thing about my guns or anything else I buy. She is a great woman.

I couldnt be happier.

My previous marriage ended with us still being friends but we just couldnt live together. I relized after I met the current wife that there are people that are meant to be together.

25, meh.  But you will be a minority at 35 (most by that time have had at least 1 divorce).



Think of it this way.  Most marriages are still in a Church, still in front of an alter.  An alter is where things are sacrificed.  When you walk up the isle to the alter, you are sacrificing YOUR life.  Only a fool thinks about what they are going to get out of a marriage.  Truth is that "you" - the person you are now, is going to have to die if you want a marriage to work.

^ That.

We have times where we want to beat each other up, I guess that's what happens when you stick two stubborn red personalities in the same relationship, but it's totally worth it. I love her more and more every day.

ETA: I'm an atheist and my wife is agnostic. Deities have no place in our relationship and we do fine.
