Would you choose the same life partner? good or bad, most of us are used to live with our life partners with maximum possible satisfaction. However, if we were given a chance to travel through a time machine and go backward, how many of us would choose the same partners? just wondering... Your honest answer please....

Suppose the time machine went wrong and you went more than 500 years back..and became Anne Boleyn, and at that point of time, your wife was King Henry VIII.... would you?
Frankly..though I dont have a partner...I dont think choices would have been any different...

Hi, Vannie, thanks for making me into the royal family.Your imagination is matchless and greater than mine. But why made me Anne Boleyn, when you could make me the king Henry VIII? So happy to see me as a female?
I can't fit myself in a woman's frame even in imagination....
May be if I am the Henry VIII and if wife is Anne, I will certainly marry her.
And if in the next birth you become a man and a friend to me may be we both can visit the royal palace of England, hehehe.

Thank you my Highness...
If my wifey rejects me, won't I get another royal lady? Or the king has to remain a bachelor all through the life, enjoying the company of palace girls?

I would definitely choose the same partner, and the same path that led me to him. He is the father of the child I am expecting and he may not be perfect but he's the most amazing guy I've ever met.. There isn't a day that goes by where he doesn't surprise and shock me in the best ways.

dear anna,
Honestly yes, I would still choice my partner and have kids and later separated.
Hehehe- I don't want to change anything from the past if it means losing my kids.
I love my kids and I don't want to think any changes from the past.
MY past is not a good one...but it's fine with me...I've learned a lot from it and knows a lot about life.

I don't have a partner, i am not married yet. But i will tell you one thing, i learned that i should not have regrets in life from who i pick or who is in my life. Whatever mistakes i make in life will help me get stronger, appreciate and learn things. I wouldn't choose a perfect partner or perfect life because what am i going to learn from that? nothing.

hi, Hazelme I appreciate your perspective that you learn from your mistakes, that's a great quality and the best way of living. Things will get better automatically if you live that way.

This is a very interesting question. It is rather complicated for me because there are quite a few decisions I would make differently including my first husband who turned out to be a lying cheating sack of you know what but it was through moving away to get away from him that I met my current husband who is the true love of my life. I think everything happens for a reason and so even though I wasted a lot of years being unhappy it ultimately led me to my soul mate so I suppose it was worth it. So I guess in the end no I would not change the decisions I made if it would cost me the opportunity to meet my husband I would gladly walk through the fire all over again.

Good to know that zapree. That's the good boy response from you. well, people are different and so are their interests and ideas about love and relationships. Though I am not unhappy with my present partner, though I am reasonably satisfied with my 30 years partner, I might still go for a different partner, I always take risks you know,

My honest answer? lol... no. I wouldn't choose the same partner.
If I could travel in time and go back, there are a LOT of things I wouldn't do the same. and then there are a lot of things I would do.
I would have taken more time to better myself rather then rushing to have a relationship and have kids. not saying I dont love them or want them, but had I made better choices then I would be able to give them a much better life.
and if I could travel back in time there is one thing I'd really like to do. I would go back and give my dad a really big hug. I miss him so much.
(but my "next life" is in heaven so I'll get to do that one day :) )

Well said, jennifer611, many of us make this mistake of falling into a relationship too early in life.I am sure it would give better results in our lives. It's good to realize and cherish the love of dad.

Hi Vijayanths,
Defenitely i will choose the same life partner. Coz even after 30 years of our married life, i am enjoying the same love and affection, care, concern and comfort from him. I do not think if i change my life partner, i will be getting more than this

Is funny that husband asked me the same question today, and answer what I am going to answer to you, I feel lucky to have a husband like him, he is a great man, father,brother,cousin,son,and of course a great husband,and if I go to the past I will choose him again.

Oh, that's an interesting coincidence Rosa26. Good to know that you have a great husband and would choose him if you could go backward through time. Wish you both a great life together for ever friend.

I have no life partner so I can't say I would choose the same one.
Question might be: would I choose to stay around with the same people?
They say that we meet in this life always the same kind of people, possible also the same ones we met in former lives. So if so there is less to choose.
I think my life would be not different from now, or I would be not that different.
So I would go back to the middle ages, probably be the same person, living alone at the edge of the village or outside in the woods, alone, by nature and probably killed sooner or later because I am called a witch.

hi, WakeUpKitty , I know it;s difficult to respond to this discussion when you don't have a partner already.Good to know about your views on this though.

If we have get a chance to go backward absolutely all of us will get the same partner if it is good or bad.All has written when we born in the world,next moment what will happen we can't change this, all will happen with the karma of our past life,We can't tell GOD is doing all this, GOD always helping each and every one of us in the sufferings and worries if we pray or not Almighty will surely help. If we pray we get the good results.

Technically speaking you are absolutely right devi53. This is just a hypothetical question to understand the thoughts of people about relationships. I also strongly believe that the moment we are born, our lives are fully destined according to the time of birth. Yet we pray God to alter our fate and minimize the ill effects of fate, isn't it?

Sounds like you would want a different partner than what you got right now...
I think I want a different partner each time, cause I want to be a different person each tie I travel a time machine... One time I can be a girl, the next I can be a bot, another time I want to be a celebrity and next I want to be a commoner... so You see, I would need a different partner each time...

Hi, jennyze I really enjoyed reading your honest response. there is nothing wrong in choosing a different partner even though if you are happy with your present partner, at least that's what I think. Looks like you want to go through the time machine quite often..

I would definitely have to say, that if I could travel back in time, I would change a thing, when it comes to my hubby and family. My hubby is the best thing that has happened to me, he is my better half and he is what completes me. We have been married for 11 years and have 16 years together and I have dated other people prior to being with him and I have no regrets at all.

Although my partner in life is not perfect. Oftentimes, we have misunderstandings I would still chose her to be my wife and be with her for the rest of my life. She may not be the most beautiful women in the world and definitely not the sexiest but her simplicity and attitude what makes her beautiful in my eyes. I could not imagine living my life with anybody else.

hi, mirby25 , external beauty is not really needed for a long lasting loving relationship. The love and care are what you want and expect from a relationship than beauty and sexy appearance. What is the use if your partner is very beautiful but has no care for you...
