A difficult question...would you do it over again?

I won't even try to explain the very meandering internet surfing that brought me to this webpage, but it's very touching--in a Reader's Digest sort of way, but still.. it drives home a great point--one which relates to the topic.

thanks for this-it was beautiful! I'm bookmarking this website

I would have to say 'yes' I would marry him again. We (like everyone else) have been through highs and lows. There have been times when I couldn't stand him. But even after all the 'lows' I am still so crazy about him. I truly am still so attracted to him and he can still sweep me off my feet.

We didn't begin a relationship until I was 33 so I had quite a few before him. And all my other romances, something was missing, something intangible..but just that deep desire for this person. I always knew that another man COULD come and steal me away from my current boyfriend (and often, they did )

But with dh, nobody can 'steal' me....I am still so besotted

This seems to be a prevailing theme among women I talk to these days. I wonder if married men feel the same.

Most guys I know seem to want to be married (this includes married guys as well as single guys) but the same seems to be true for the women I know - most want to be married and the single ones are actively pursuing finding Mr. Right. I love being single and wish to remain single at this time - and maybe forever. Although I'd be open to being with someone I was crazy about if I didn't have to overly compromise things in my life to be with them (have found the "crazy about" part but not the "don't have to change my lifestyle too much" part yet). In my circle of friends and aquietences, both mle and female, I seem to be the odd ball by not wanting to marry again.

Love my guy since 1978. Having said that, We both know and joke often that IF we were on a match site we would not be connected to each other. If we were strangers our paths would not meet most likely. Our lives have evolved into very different paths of interest. We will both honestly say we love each other, but have nothing in common other then family, love, respect and history with each other. So the chances of us actually meeting today and starting a relationship IF we had never met....about 99.9% would not happen.
SO how does that happen? I have thought about it before. I looked at three pictures taken 10/20/30 years apart the other day. I tried thinking about what we were doing, where we were,goals,hopes and dreams. I think we compliment each other and that is why it works today.

Yes. Especially now, as my DH is my rock while I negotiate my health stuff...
