If you were to have your time over again, how many of us would marry your same husband/Wife Warts n All, and for the record I certainly would

mumofmadboys Mon 09-Dec-19 07:12:15

No regrets. Would do it again!

granzilla Mon 09-Dec-19 07:01:12

45 years next July and we'd both do it again.tchsmile

Same as you, still nursing a broken heart really, so on paper, probably not a wise move!

But he’s the best of men, kind, generous, an excellent father, I know I’ve been lucky.

No. Exactly what Mebster said. Sometimes it seems easier to stay than go, especially if things aren`t ghastly, just dull.

hillwalker70 Mon 09-Dec-19 06:43:54

NO, but wouldn’t be without my fabulous offspring, I was a doormat.

Katyj Mon 09-Dec-19 06:40:11

Definitely.I married on the rebound, and wasn't sure I was doing the right thing, i was only 21 but love grew and grew.He was the right one Love him to bits.

No never worst decision I ever made! Only good thing to come out if it was my children who are wonderful. He is a hateful man

NanaandGrampy Sun 08-Dec-19 22:14:56

Yes without hesitation .

We’ve had 43 years to work at it and I think we have the recipe for a happy marriage down pat :-)

Smileless2012 Sun 08-Dec-19 22:04:19

Yes I would without a moments hesitation.

Scribbles Sun 08-Dec-19 22:00:59

Yes, I would. It's not always been plain sailing but we're as barmy as each other and I doubt that anyone else would put up with either of us. He's my rock and my stability; makes me laugh and makes me cry and I would be like a rudderless ship without him.

Just a tad more than thirty three years ago I married my best friend and have never had a single moment's regret. He's kind, generous, thoughtful - and loves me 'warts and all', as I love him.

I couldn't really have married him much sooner - he was at nursery school when I married my first husband! grin

J52 Sun 08-Dec-19 20:45:06

Yes, he’s just brought me a plate of sponge pudding and custard!

BlueSapphire Sun 08-Dec-19 20:39:54

Oh yes, I'd marry him again, and I wish he was still here so that I could tell him. I still tell him I love and miss him every day - even though sometimes he'd drive me crackers! He was such a good and kind man who would have given me the sun moon and stars, and I him.

annep1 Sun 08-Dec-19 19:39:28

Well of course he gave me lovely children so I suppose I would go back and leave him asap with my 3 children. Would have been better for both of us.

LadyGracie Sun 08-Dec-19 19:36:14

Definitely yes, but we would have taken up the opportunity offered of living in New Zealand.

threexnanny Sun 08-Dec-19 19:33:27

Yes. Never met anyone else I would even consider.

kircubbin2000 Sun 08-Dec-19 19:19:57

I knew on the honeymoon or even earlier that he was wrong but it seemed too late to call things off. I probably wouldn't have met anyone else or had children so in some ways not everything was bad.

BBbevan Sun 08-Dec-19 19:18:17

Absolutely a resounding YES .55 yrs coming up in January.

BradfordLass72 Sun 08-Dec-19 19:13:46

In this modern climate where there is no, or little shame in having children 'out of wedlock' ( lock being the operative syllable there) I would choose not to marry, however much I loved the man. And I did love my husband dearly, still do.

I had that choice, long after I was widowed.
I adored the man I was seeing and he me, but he wanted marriage and I didn't want anyone, however sweet, living in my space. I'm too much of a loner by nature.

It caused us to break up as he wouldn't continue as we were.
Heartbreaking at the time because we were so happy but I've never regretted it.

Lovemybed Sun 08-Dec-19 17:47:41

Yes! I had to wait a long time for him but it was worth it.

BlueBelle Sun 08-Dec-19 17:47:25

NO twice
I should not have married either it seemed so good at the time but sadly wasn’t and has really caused me a very different life to what I would have wanted However I wouldn’t be without my children so guess I d have to

M0nica Sun 08-Dec-19 17:43:28

love0C my feelings exactly.

Davida1968 Sun 08-Dec-19 17:43:26

Yes, I'd marry DH again in a heartbeat. A kind, loving, decent, generous, and helpful man, who's company I continue to enjoy. And we still love each other.....

Hetty58 Sun 08-Dec-19 17:41:00

I would marry both of my husbands over again - and probably some of my 'rejects' as well!

futuregran1 Sun 08-Dec-19 17:39:24

Would definitely marry him again. He is kind and thoughtful and we have two wonderful children. The only thing I'd change is getting him to cook at least twice a week from the very beginning. smile
