If you got married young do you regret it?

Ehhh, I don’t regret having the relationship with him...the connection, but we found out through each of us growing into our own over the years that we couldn’t be the traditional husband and wife. Marriage isn’t for us, but sometimes that’s something you don’t learn until after the fact. We’ve evolved into whatever it is we are, and it works for each of us. We’re happy because we are committed to being attentive parents who are communicative, supportive best friends as well.

@RadiantRuby I was 21 and he was 19.

When we get married that young we haven’t really found ourselves, so being pinned down while we’re finding our true selves can be stifling at times, especially when you find out you have a heart and soul that needs freedom to fully feel alive.
@PerfectionOfTheHeart well said my Dear 😊

@RadiantRuby Thank you. Peace be with her. She’ll find her way. We always do.
I don’t regret it because that would mean regretting my children.

I do, however, wish I had spent a few years on my own. I really feel like I missed an important step in my development of as an adult by not discovering who I was before making a lifelong commitment. I’ve never put myself first or taken care of my own needs alone.
@ProdigalSummer Sorry to ask personal question how old were You? My sister got married at 19 and she doesn't look happy.
@RadiantRuby 20. I was happy for the first 10-15 years and then numb for a few. In the past two, I’ve accepted that my marriage is troubled and the odds are about even if we’ll last.
@ProdigalSummer your so strong..... 🤗 hope the best for your family

I don't regret getting married young, I regret that we married for foolish reasons, and then stayed married for more than two decades, for foolish reasons.
