[QUOTE="black4vcobra, post: 15656493, member: 82394"] Like anyone, I personally have a few things I would like a do-over on but the biggest regrets I have is putting too much faith in others only to get completely screwed by them. Many people are so incredibly shady and greedy that at 33 years old I don't feel the need to let anyone else into my life closer than arm's length away. The good news is that the (relatively) small group of people I have closer than that have all proven trustworthy. I've been married for 2.5 months so take this with a grain of salt but unless you are absolutely, unequivocally 100% sure of marriage with a particular woman, don't do it. If there are any concerns (other than the very smallest) it will only get worse and you shouldn't consider marriage. Don't get me wrong, I love my wife immensely and want to be with her forever, I just don't think marriage was necessary. She thought it was. Even though it was 17 months from proposal to wedding day, the wedding planning was an absolute nightmare - basically she couldn't make up her mind on lots of things and expected me to help with planning/arranging things, but I wasn't given the power to make decisions. Given that I didn't think marriage is necessary, nevermind a wasteful/stressful wedding, I'm sure you can see how well the planning went. (The upside to that is that the wedding day itself was great, since everything was taken care of we got to go to the gun range in the morning, the weather was beautiful for outdoor ceremony and everything went as it was supposed to during the ceremony/dinner/reception.) Not only that, she totally went through a period of "post wedding letdown" which lasted about a month - it's a real thing, read up on it. She's been much happier the last 6 weeks but what should have been a great first month of marriage was actually pretty awful. Now, 2.5 months later with all the wedding bills paid and thank you's sent we can focus on our life together without the giant distraction known as a wedding. [/QUOTE]
