Not married here. Never will get married.

Asking me if I regret not getting married is like asking me if I regret not playing Russian roulette with a loaded gun and being forced to go first.

If the laws weren't dead set on screwing men, and if women were held accountable for throwing marriage out the window so easily to get alimonies and child support, I might have regrets.

As it stands now? Fuck no.

30 years married, found RP about two years ago.

The regret that I feel has to do with men tending naturally to be protectors, providers, and seeking that others are cared for, and as such, I followed that path to the full but I wish I had instead did what made me happy instead of following that role and always trying to making others happy.

I was actually thinking of this just this afternoon, as I mowed the lawn, (I hate mowing the lawn, lawns are useless..., let it grow wild), thinking that here I am, doing a thing I don't like and will until gray haired because I own the house (never wanted a house).

Then (as I continued to mow the f**king yard) I started thinking about the other things I'd like to do if I didn't have to upkeep this house I got for the wife...

Then thinking back about all the things I bought or did for her and what a hurtful person she is, although I don't mind doing it for my kids oddly enough (they are grown now).

Oh, and riding a mindless machine with earplugs on (because its so damn loud) makes great white noise...

Hmmm, just reread the question, I regret marrying but not having kids.

Cheers

I have come to terms with the fact that I will never get married in this lifetime. So far, no regrets.

I'm 40 which isn't quite old yet, but never married, no regrets. Dodged some bullets in my 20's. I struggled in my early 30's wanting a wife, then around 36 or 37 I threw in the towel and found peace.

Looking back ... some profound bullet dodging all around. What was I thinking?

Never married and have never regretted it. Had three or four wide-open chances to "put a ring on it" through my twenties and thirties. These were the type of women you'd definitely bring home to mom, with everything you'd ever want in a wife, etc. These were LTRs, all with an overtly prominent caveat in bold letters. They knew I was never going to get on my knees for them, much less have kids. One thing that actually helped was telling them, "hey, I'm never marrying, so don't take it personally".. food for thought.

One non-LTR that I was banging on the side for a bit kept on needling me wanting to 'have my babies' some day, slightly tongue-in-cheek, always when drinking. Nonetheless, I knew she meant it. Saw her downtown one night at bar time years later, and whew, dodged a bullet. Heard later (from her lol) that she went to one of these harem parties in Saudi or UAE or whatever with ten other bitches to "party" with the sheiks. Fucking shameless. But yeah I regret marrying her. /s

My sister has 6 kids so my family legacy will live on. I have plenty of people to will my stuff to. No regrets :)

I'm the favourite uncle by the way. I have every retro gaming console imaginable :) that's my collection

Why would someone regret not being married? Marriage is effectively just a money siphon and nothing more.

No. More of a loner.

I don't want to ever get married but I want children.

FraterGGNM · 2017-06-10T16:13:55+00:00

I am 43. Was married for 14 years. Been having relationships with women since I was 15. Don't do it. I look back and theres not any woman at all that i have ever known that turned out to be a decent woman. They are all whores and sluts under the right circumstances, and you have zero say in what those circumstances are. The only thing they are good for is pump and dump, which may or may not offend your moral sensibilities. But realistically, thats all they can offer you, and for them its the bait that traps you so they can take everything else from you at their leisure and discretion. Its a bad deal and gets worse every day.

I am grateful for having gotten married and later divorced. I have no kids and no assets. I feel the experience was a great eye-opener and would not have exposed me to the numerous other women I have been able to fuck and dump at my leisure. Women provide the best examples on how they should be treated.

29 years old virgin, Not married but plan to because selfish need for kids and legacy.

Either that or traveling SE Asia with hookers and escorts for my basic need of sex, as anger and bitterness for being virgin for so long is eating me on the inside.

40yo here. married, kids, the whole deal. don't regret the kids but the marriage was a mess. I know I passed up several opportunities by being tied down. I could have done so much more with my life. but, my kids are pretty awesome. My son is 20 now and pretty much has nothing to do with women because they are all sluts with kids. My daughter (22) is childless and lives her own way regardless of any men in her life. I completely regret the marriage but not my kiddos.
