And, what do you do if the answer is no?

Yes - spent years kissing frogs before I found my pronce [vom]

Oati · 08/02/2007 17:16

prince not pronce

Booboobedoo · 08/02/2007 17:18

No question. He's quite uniquely wonderful.

Radley · 08/02/2007 17:19

No

I'd not rush into it and find someone who has some respect for me

3rdtriMOSSter · 08/02/2007 17:20

Yes, certainly. We've been through a lot of crappy times but have come out the other side and are happy.

Sorry if that's nauseating!

I would definately do it again, like a shot. Its the best decision I ever made (alongside having children)

If it hadn't been for his parents, I'd have been saying yes. But it's..
No. The tantrums I've put up with from them, the fact that DH actually believes them and sees me as the problem when they rant about me, that he believes I deserve to be treated the way I have been rather than stick up for me (DH told me to "pull myself together" a week after a miscarriage rather than tell his mother that she'd upset me with something inappropriate she said over the phone), and the battering 13 years of this has done to my self-esteem, if I'd known it was going to be this way, I would never have turned up for our first date.
How do I deal with it? I enjoy the times when it's just DH, me and the children. I try not to think about the damage his parents have caused and we don't talk about his parents at all. I don't care what they do, think, whatever. I don't want to know. I enjoy the family life we've got.

Yes, wish I'd met him 20 years earlier than I did and had 6 children by him

Motherinferior, now that married women are in the minority wouldn't it be subversive to actually do it

drifter · 09/02/2007 12:05

No. (And incidentally, I wouldn't have children either.)

Anniegetyourgun · 09/02/2007 13:47

Most unlikely. I'm still wondering why I did it the first time. I'd be dead crazy to do the same again with my eyes open. We've had four splendid sons though, and some quite jolly times, so maybe it's just as well I can't go back in time and undo it. Anyway, suppose I'd married somebody else and they'd been worse?

Cloudhopper · 09/02/2007 13:49

God yes. Best thing that has even happened to me. I love marriage, except for the obvious occasional down patch!

I don't know, tbh. But I've got my wonderful DSs, anyway.

compo · 09/02/2007 13:52

Same as Dinosaur.
I think i should have found someone more suited to me as the most rows with have are because sometimes I just don't get him

Twinkie1 · 09/02/2007 13:55

Yes - he is wonderful.

wurlywurly · 09/02/2007 13:56

yeah definalty, but i would have a different dress tho, have seen loads of ones that i would have loved to have worn.

brimfull · 09/02/2007 14:00

no I'd marry a millionaire next time

NorksBride · 09/02/2007 14:12

I most certainly would.

It's 7 years this summer and I am not expecting to get a 7 year itch!

frenchconnection · 09/02/2007 14:16

F**k me , NO WAY! not him, really, just realised being married and playing "wifey" just isnt for me...wish i had never married anyone and was still free, single and happy..

GameGirly · 09/02/2007 14:29

Usually yes. Today absolutely not and he can f*ck off and move in with his brother who has just left his wife. And I've told him, too.
