Marriage can be complicated - from the wedding itself to the actual marriage. Redditor u/skullman_ps2 was curious about this, especially from the eyes of men. He asked the men of Reddit “What’s the biggest thing you regret about getting married?” and the guys didn’t hold back.
- "For me, it is the constant compromising I do mentally. It's probably the same in any kind of relationship, but I lose the sense of independence and freedom for mental compromise as a partner. It's the biggest regret I can think of. It's good to remind oneself to take a 'me day' every once and a while."
- "I really just miss meeting new women, learning about them, having new conversations/experiences, and feeling that 'new love' stage again. And, of course, having sex. I would never cheat on my wife, though."
- "My wife and I both agree that we got married because of our families (and society in general just expected it). We have no regrets (our marriage is pretty good), but the relationship isn't better in any way for us because we're married. Married or not, we're definitely happier together than apart."
- "That we had to move in with parents initially because the house we were buying together fell through. It didn’t give us the best start to our marriage, but things are much better now."
- "The money we spent on [the wedding]. The worst part is, I kept telling my wife we could spend it on a nicer honeymoon, a house, or literally anything but to no avail. She now agrees, and in general, is better with money than I am. But for whatever reason, the wedding venue, food, and everything else created a blind spot for her frugality."
