Now you really know your dh if you could turn back time would you marry him/have children with him all over again or would you make a different choice?

Not the only one Imogen, see my post above. x

wonkyjaw · 04/05/2012 13:39

yes, but it's only been a few months! :o

helpyourself · 04/05/2012 13:39

Yes Grin Together 19 years

I've really tested the poor bastard, and he's come up trumps.

DD quoted Marilyn Monroe 'If you can't handle me at my worse you don't deserve me at my best' yesterday. Am Shock, but I think it'll stand her in good stead.

Yes, but I would've "made the most of being single" a bit more first Wink

Yes I would. Only this time the wedding would be better because we'd have choices other than church/registry office.

AberdeenAgnes · 04/05/2012 13:43

Yep

MadameChinLegs · 04/05/2012 13:43

Yep. Never ever felt a need for marriage, but he asked and I said yes. It hasn't made our relationship any different. But I would do it again.

KnockedUpMell · 04/05/2012 13:45

Ah I'm joining you imogen and golden. Often wonder what life would be like with a different DH... But DS loves him so much that I suspect it'll always remain a fantasy.

fotheringhay · 04/05/2012 13:48

I certainly don't feel like this all the time! I just know that he's a good guy, and I want ds to grow up with him, that's very important to me (childhood issues), so I push out of my mind any thoughts of how it might be better with someone else.

SuzySheepSmellsNice · 04/05/2012 13:49

I knew my (crap) marriage with DExH was over when I jokingly asked that question and the bastard actually said No. We were having a lovely day as well, I felt eviscerated... But if he hadn't been such an idiot, I wouldn't be blissfully happily married to my DH (who I would marry again in a heartbeat) and I wouldn't have our beautiful DS (currently asleep on my shoulder!)

GoldenMama · 04/05/2012 13:50

It's nice that there are mostly possitive answers. Does it mean we have found the wrong people though Imogen and KnockedupMell??
How often do you wonder knockedup?

GoldenMama · 04/05/2012 13:51

What about your answer OP?

RichManPoorManBeggarmanThief · 04/05/2012 13:52

Yeah. He's alright.

azazello · 04/05/2012 13:52

Yes, definitely. He is lovely. Married now for 12 years with 2 children under 5. We've been together for 14 years.

ZhenThereWereTwo · 04/05/2012 13:53

Yes in fact we will be having a blessing ceremony hopefully soon as my lovely MIL sadly passed away on our wedding anniversary last year and it will never be the same again.

hermioneweasley · 04/05/2012 13:53

Yes, definitely. We're coming up to 20 years and I'm toying with the idea of renewing vows or similar.

ReallyTired · 04/05/2012 13:53

Yes. I have been blessed with my DH and we celebrate our ten wedding aniversery this year.

I hope this thread shows that not all men are bastards and there is hope for those who have been unlucky with their marriages.

theDudesmummy · 04/05/2012 13:56

Definitely (married 7 years).

ratspeaker · 04/05/2012 13:58

OH YES
Though there have been some tough times over the decades we've been together.
He's also a great dad

I didn't really want to get married in the first place, but bowed to family pressure and did the big family wedding shenanigans.

However, if we hadn't married I am 100% sure we would still be together. He's smashing and I can honestly say, hand on heart, I have a very good man who loves me entirely and treats me with love, honesty, respect and trust. Worth keeping Smile

runningforthebusinheels · 04/05/2012 14:00

yes.

Jdub · 04/05/2012 14:00

Yes - definitely!
But I would arrange to have the in-laws shipped over seas.

VolkswagenBeetle · 04/05/2012 14:10

Yes, in a heartbeat. Actually you've got me thinking now. How do you get married again? I mean is renewing your vows a bit wanky? Grin I think I'd like to do it, but with just us and the kids...
