Regrets that married men have
MARRIAGE is more than two partners coming together as one; it also means that changes and compromises will have to be made. For many, the beginning of the marriage is like a dream come true — there is no other like their spouse. But then with time people may start to regret things, some of which they have to keep to themselves if they want the marriage to survive. Below some married men share regrets that they secretly have.
Joe, 54:
I regret taking my side chick to do an abortion. My wife and I do not have children, and if I hadn’t forced her to do the abortion I would be a father today.
Mike, 35:
My biggest regret is fooling around with other women. I got one of them pregnant. My outside child is now two years old and knows me as uncle. I don’t feel comfortable keeping such a big thing from my wife. Plus it is costing me to maintain her, because she doesn’t live with me.
Don, 40:
Honestly, I miss having more than one woman. That’s the life I’m used to, and I miss it.
Damion, 32:
I regret getting married. I miss my freedom and privacy.
Carl, 42:
I regret putting my friends on the back burner. We don’t get to go out much anymore. My wife was always complaining that I spend too much time with my friends and not with her. We used to chill once a week. When she started to complain I would hang out with them during the week sometimes to be free on the weekend. But it wasn’t enough for her. Now I hardly hang out with them.
Gary, 47:
I regret encouraging my wife to stay home with the kids. Our children are close in age. I told her to just stay with them until the last one was ready to start grade one. Two came soon after and she decided to continue staying home. The last one is now 15 and my wife is still at home, not working.
