For those who are married, engaged, or in a committed relationship: If you had a chance to start over(when you are young), would you look for someone different than the person you are with now? Would you prefer to "see what's out there" before committing? Discuss.
I've done enough "seeing what's out there" and I'm pretty happy with my SO. Frankly, "seeing what's out there" gets pretty old after about....oh, 30-something years?
saying you would explore other options basically means you're admitting your relationship is a mistake. i'd like to see who'd be honest about that.
Nope. All the previous woman in my life combined, including the p*rn star and the band skanks < my girlfriend
Interesting thread - yesterday was my 1 year wedding anniversary. I won't lie and tell you that it has been all peaches and cream; hell, it has at times been the hardest year of my life. And I have had the thoughts run through my mind, "I made a mistake", but my wife and me have grown a lot through our marriage. And our relationship has made us stronger, so even though it is tempting to say "I wish I could have started over or see what else is out there", I truly believe that I am with the person that God wants me to be with. One thing that I would have done differently, though, is probably dated my wife a little longer than I did. She thinks that no matter how long we dated, that we would still had some problems mainly due to the adjustment process. I disagree to an extent, but I do see where she is coming from.
grass is always greener on the other side. No relationship is perfect, and the sooner you realize that, the happier you'll be.
That and that there are things about your spouse that you can't change - only they can change on their own. You accept them for not only the good but the bad as well. Once I realized this, I have been a lot happier (for the most part - I still have a relapse here and there).
I am seperated from my wife after 20 years. We were both dishonest to each other. Would I have wanted anyone different? Hell no. Looking back, I could've made better decisions on being a better husband, but I didn't. Such as life. I wouldn't have learned what I needed at this point in my life had last year not happened. Or maybe I could have simply said, "no".
there is absolutely zero question in my mind i would stay with my wife. we'll celebrate 10 years in three weeks.
Absolutely not. I would maybe start over and change some things that have happened during the relationship, but I wouldn't trade Renee for anything.
No way, no how, would I consider someone else. I just wish I would have known that I would meet my soulmate at 24, so I could have taken full advantage of my youth if you know what I mean.
The only thing wrong with Lindsey is...she is attached to me too much. She doesn't want me to hang out with my friends as much as I used to nor does she want me to go hunting and fishing as much as I would like but I couldn't ask for a better person. She keeps me straight. She keeps me in church and she has turned me into a Godly man. Probably the best thing that has happened. Did I mention she will be a physical therapist when she graduates from Texas Womens University?
Well...according to this: http://www.victorialodging.com/honeymoon/wedding_victoria.htm the 10th anniversary is traditionally the "Tin (aluminum)" anniversary. What is packaged in aluminum, you ask? Hmmm....
That's every girl out there, regardless if they your soulmate or not cept in my case, my wife doesn't let me go play halo or sing karaoke instead of the hunting and fishing thing. obviously Chinese people do things a bit differently here LOL
Are you speaking for yourself? I played every bit a part in the whole matter. I'm admitting it, because I believe it. What do you mean by this response?
