All the married couples have some problem creating points. I know that married life needs adjustments, but when the adjustments made are only one-sided and crossing the limits, I feel I should have led my life as single. Do you come across some situations when you feel similar to me?

i never feel like i shouldn't have gotten married, i fell in love with my hubby at 14 yrs. old and never regret anything we've ever done together. i c couples who grow out of doing things like hugging each time they see their spouse or even p.d.a.'s i never grow out of that stuff!

Fortunately I have never had any regret about being married to my husband. Mind you I've only been married for 5 years so I think it is still relatively new. But I hope it will stay this way as I'm really loving it at this moment.
Have a nice day...xxx

I have just married for less than a year, but I have been staying with my husband for around 5 years. I do agree that both people have to give-and-take in order to maintain the relationship. Communication plays a very important role in the relationship. When arguments happened, I was thinking perhaps it's good if I just stay single, without having to compromise with another person.
But in the recent years, I didn't think of that anymore. It's because I know we do love each other, and arguments happen is because we want each other to be good. It's only that sometimes, we have disagreements on certain things, this is where we really need to communicate. I believe that if there is LOVE between these two people, and both are willing to give to the relationship, they can make it.
Have you talked to your husband before? The more you communicate, the more you understand each other. Wish you good luck! ^_^

I don't regret being married. I love my husband unconditionally. I do however sometimes wish that the situations we face could be different if certain other things in the past had been done differently. But that would never make me regret my marriage. My love and commitment there is unconditional and 100%.

Yes, there are times I regret being married. These are times when I am reminiscing about my bachelor days. When I could go to the racetracks and do horse betting, wasting away my time alone, making decisions for myself for all I care. Still, I don't regret it at all because my marriage is a happy union.

I have never regretted getting married. Me and my husband dated for 4 years before we got married. I think this gave us the time to get to know each other and make sure it was the right decision. We do not believe in divorce so we had to make sure this was a permanent thing.

Thanks for your response. I think no one marries ever with the thought of divorce, but the problems come uninvited. Problems of married life are totally different, its good you took your time to make decision, but sometimes dating is full of enjoyment and reality is full of disasters.

I am not sure that I regret being married....but sometimes I wonder if I made the right decision. We did not know eachother very long before we married.(Now) my advice is always to date for 2 years before getting married. My husband became a different man after we married...the man he always was (I learned from freinds). The relationship I thought I was going to have is not what I got. Someimes I feel like a sinlge woman living with a male roomate....sad. Marriage is work and both partners have to be involved, as you said it does not work when it is one-sided. I'm in my 50's and have decided that it's better to live with him than alone, although I think I'd be just fine alone.
