Question for Married Guys

The two things I heard before I got married

"Don't get married" and

"If you do get married, don't have kids"

This is from my friends that got married and had kids.

some seriously good knowledge up in here. great thread. happy to hear some of my covers crew got the true dream going on. to find the most difficult thing in life. true happiness. and thats only with the right woman. gj fellas.

just dont bring your ladies around me, ill make um think twice...

i chose wrong. found the love in a damn succubus. but mostly i cared so damn much for her lil girl and the future she wud have without me in it so i kept trying to no prevail..

I GOT FIVE ON IT -  i feel what you're saying. but loneliness is a mutha sucka. wait a few more yrs. im 35 now. i was exactly where u were mentally since i was 20. even when having friends, as u grow up, life gets lonely as sh*t.

u dont want to just have golf buddies and the occasional meaningless flings or dates that go nowhere forever. that sh*t is played out. for the young bucks.

and u never want to b the old guy at the club...

done rambling...

 Did a couple 5 year stints...........had kids with my 1st & paid my CS dues for 16+ years (actually with kids it never ends) but they are grown & doing well. I've been single, off/on, now for 8 years & am quite content on my own. Haven't met anyone of any substance so I just carry on. Loneliness, IMO, is just a result of not being comfortable with yourself. I don't need anyone in my life for me to be at ease.

 Marriage is not a bed of roses...............but living with ANYONE 24/7 is gonna test your nerves, even if that person is your best friend. It takes patience & compromise. But if you find someone that you don't want to lose you'd better think about it.

damn, well said. now you got me back to thinking to where i was before i was dumb enuf to try love.

f*ck that bs i ranted on earlier. i want to be the old guy at the club ....

43yrs and love it. Best woman in the world.

BTW, being married to me back when I was young and good-looking was no day at the beach.

Don't you all think sex with the same person gets old after awhile?

or

Waking up to the same person gets redundant?

Not married but after 40 things start to get a little old and you focus on different things - trust me. 

All for marriage or some sort of arrangement if you have the right woman.

Do people not have friends? 

Most of my friends would be more thankful if I bought them a drink than some random broad at a bar 

I'm 30 years old and just got married 3 weeks ago.  I got hammered 3 nights in a row for the first time in a long time this past weekend.  Two things:  First, I couldn't imagine doing that while I was 40 yrs old.  Second, I don't think I saw a single person that looked 40 where I went.  Not that I was really looking.  Point is, when people get older, going to the bar and drinking all the time gets old.  I've also been to many bars where I've seen men hanging out and drinking by themselves, and it looked lonely as hell.

And in my situation, my wife and I have traveled all over the world together.  We love to travel and want to see as many places as possible in our lifetime.  I couldn't have imagined going to the Great Wall or running with the bulls in Pamplona by myself.  Most of my friends weren't financially able to do this back then or might've not cared to go to the places I want to go.  Having a wife that enjoys alot of the same things I do makes me much happier.  She loves OU football, traveling, and is an adventurous eater like me.  Most of my friends are too big of pansies to venture into many ethnic restaurants.  I think I got it made.  Find the right girl, which isn't easy to do, and your opinion on marriage will probably change.
