The question was directed to married men and not single mothers please.

Single mothers (the ones who gave birth out of wedlock and some cases divorced) are women who gambled with men and lost. So from your weeping, you gambled with a man and lost. For instance, trying to pin a Yahoo boy or one money miss road man down with a pregnancy.
Puleeese! Stop regurgitating!

Listen folks, watch the values and personality of your potential mothers in-law, not in all circumstances but in most her values is almost certainly what her daughter is going to be to you, if a mother in-law bad mouth or disrespect your potential father in-law then run away like hell, my experiences here.
I can attest to this. Initially I tried to ignore her behaviours but it got to a point I couldn't take it anymore. Overtime the bad behaviours I ignored in my potential mother in-law started manifesting in my gal. Na there I pick raise.

Well, I'm a woman and I have an opinion on this.


My only regret is putting all my cards on the table from the beginning. Nobody should put all their cards on the table no matter the relationship.
Very good point! I also got burnt in marriage because I put all my cards out. But now I'm free and happier with no chance of getting married again..

Life is more complicated when you are not married at mid or old age. You can't even trust a wife that claimed she loves you, how do you then trust a baby mama or girlfriends.

1. What if she wipes your entire savings at the middle of the night after sex
2. What if she poisons your food just because she noticed you just received one huge money and since she's not married to you or have kids for you, your life means nothing to her.
3. How do you sleep with a woman whom you don't have rights to ask where she goes when she lives your house.
4. Who will stay with you on the sick bed if you have to spend 15 days in the hospital

You won't really know the importance of marriage until you get to some certain age.
True love is not "cards!" Love is unconditional. If you married based on "cards", the choice would be deemed poor in the first place.

My regret is that I did not marry on time. Marriage is God's arrangement and it really worth it.
Though, I studied about 250 principles of being a good husband before I got married, and it really worked like magic.

So, if you don't want to regret after marriage, learn the principles of being a good husband, and the woman will follow you like a goat to the slaughter

Am not an advocate of not to get married, one thing I experienced in marriage is that marriage will humble you as a man. Those saying their marriage is sweet and fine is because they are still meeting up to their responsibility, once this is taking away, that your wife will become something else you never imagined. Those that want to get married, take this, don't marry a woman at was brought up by single mother, they eventually end up like their mum. My mother in-law, married 5 men with different kids to different man. What good can you expect from such family of not their daughter later being like her mum. Now we have been separated for 3years and heard she is with another man. That's a pattern she must follow . Marriage has its up and down. Just study the woman you are with very well and notice red flag that can become insure in marriage. Women are very complicated and you need to be sane to deal with their shenanigans

Dear esteemed married men, can you throw more light about your regret as a married man and also share your bad experiences also.....

You can still add if you are still in the marriage or not, and tell us how many years you were in before you eventually left the marriage.....


Divorced men you are free to drop your inputs......
Marriage is not the problem. Its the values, foundation and principle you bring it to it as a man. You can be a man of one wife and be at peace. You can be a man of 10 wives and still be peace. You can be a man of one wife, and your life can be in turmoil, and regret. You can have multiple wives and you life is complete chaos. When you younger, find yourself, build yourself with the right principles and values. Always strive to be a better man. At first, it might be inconvenient and the world may not understand you and flow with you because the world we living today doesn't go with such, but in time, when you stay on course, it will be begin to sink in and things will align. Those women that will give you the peace of mind you looking for will come along. Whether you married or not, you will be fine and between you and the woman or women, there won't be issues cause they know you and will stand with you irrespective of the outcome and you will be in perfect peace.

My two cents

I regret not toasting Bukola. She gave me the opportunity to tell her my mind and become her lover, but I did not take my chances with her. Bukola would have become my wife. I believe we were meant to be together. Pretty and decent babe that I failed to woo. Well, life goes on. She is married to someone else with two kids now. I am also married too but I still think about what could have been if I had responded to Bukky's greenlight.

Marrying someone who doesn't really love me hoping she would fall in love with time only to discovered I've condemned myself to a boring marriage. Had it possible to go back in time, marriage wouldn't even be in my dictionary.

I had the experience of growing up in a loving home under a stable marriage between my parents. I never had unrealistic expectations. After over 19 years, no regrets.
A few challenges.
However, I anticipated them. My mother made me know certain behaviour from women is inevitable. I wasn't taken aback by anything. I have consistently adapted. It also helps that I married a mature and truly God-fearing woman.
Premarital coaching is key. That is one thing I can give the younger generation for free. In addition, study temperament and personality types.
Like what and what Oga?
Re: What Is Your Greatest Regret As A Married Man! by Bosman17: 3:58pm On Sep 06, 2025
No regrets like that, but wish I married someone I’m a bit older than. I’m less than a year older than my wife. I think that makes her see us as equal

The bolded is very correct, you see young men that know nothing about marriage, saying it is sweet, they think is a joy ride..... When your peace of mind is been tampered, you will know that marriage is nothing but slavery.....
