I never said marriage makes a woman happy.

Why should a woman regret motherhood?
Motherhood? shocked
As in, she regrets having kids?

YES!

And this woman is perfectly okay to you?

One?

It has been researched. Many women do. I was surprised, too. wink

Girl let's have a little experiment, shall we?

- A broke man in his mid-thirties finally decides to get a wife. He knows it will be almost impossible finding a young educated city girl with ambition willing to marry him.
So what does he do?
He travels back to his hometown/village to seek out a beautiful unexposed, young uneducated/high-school drop-out to marry.
Will he be successful?

- A broke beautiful woman in her mid-thirties finally decides to settle down with a man. She knows her choice of men has narrowed down to older unmarried/divorced men.
She then tries to hook up with younger men.
How easy will it be getting a man(older or younger) willing to marry her?
Remember I said marry, not fvck... she will definitely see men that want to just chop and clean mouth.

I believed your stories in my 20s and they even scared me. In my 30s I discovered that they were lies. Men become quite clingy and even desperate in their 30s and 40s. cheesy

Again using another celebrity, a billionaire for that matter to support your angle.

At what point are you going to come back down to earth? grin

What's wrong with this example?

I have friends who were divorced in their 30s and re-married in their 40s.
I have even seen women marrying in their 50s.

Since they are not famous, I can't show them to you but they exist.

That's the only reason.

And who told you that I married young? wink
I admire your sense of humour.

Trust me, it's not hard to tell you can't be more than 26years old. You're a 90s baby and that's why I'm not so surprised at your judgement on certain topics.

And hey, it's okay to sometimes "follow crowd" , you don't have to be different always. I know deep down you know ALMOST everything in the OP is TRUE but you being you, you just have to disagree.

Yeah,its just an opinion, just like yours. At the end of the day we live whatever way that suit us wink.

I will be glad to provide a compilation of female celebrities who married in their late 30s or even 40s. Some of them married, divorced and re-married.

Well how about you conduct a research here... Ask your friends here who are mothers to find out which of them regret motherhood.
Also ask your female colleagues at work and get their responses.

I honestly don't know what utopian world you seem to have created in your head and then went on to convince yourself that it is reality. cheesycheesy

I am not getting tensed up dear. It's a question that has been on my mind for a while. What motivates you to jump on every thread like this?

Have you made it a mission to help women who may make mistakes and would regret it later?

You have gotten all the answers needed and more. wink

By the way, it doesn't matter what age anyone marries.
Just last year, a relative was left by her husband after 25 years of marriage. She was 17 when she met him and 19 when they got married.

There is no guarantee in life!

Any man or woman who thinks that marriage will save them from misery or loneliness, is gullible and out of touch with reality.

Thanks for the links, much appreciated.

Now will you conduct your own research to compare with what those writers came up with?
I distinctly remember you telling me not to believe everything I read on the internet.


Meanwhile, let me help you begin:
Shaybebaby, do you have any regrets being a mother?

I agree with this. Marriage guarantees nothing. Lots of people are living miserable lives being married, but do not want to get out cos of what the Society would say, and fears of unknown. Being married doesn't mean being happy, nor save from loneliness. If a person makes a wrong choice of spouse, it's like hell on Earth.
