Of course, are you kidding me?

Hello relundad I think that nothing in this life is automatic. If you get married, thats a decision//choice you make, not something that happens instantly and "puff" just happens. Its a long and very important process in life. And as for regreting anything in life, well its all challenges everywhere you go, you just need to overcome them ^^ byebye

I think when were young we believe that its an automatic thing that some how things will just happen like magic, i think most girls are taught that when they grow up there supposed to be married before age 30, but the fact of the matter is life is very unpredictable, and sometimes our life take a different turn then we thought i thought id be married by 30 but life had other plans for me and now that im a little older im not really sure i want to be married dont get me wrong i would most definitely love to have someone to share my life with and have a loving relationship, and like most of you my parents taught me that marriage is the best thing, but when it comes to love and life i feel that a person has to make the best choice to fit there life's and i just dont know if marriage is meant for everyone but i do believe in love and commitment and i don't regret that im not married i think things happen for a reason and if god wanted me to be married right now i would be.

Well, I got that deep-seated belief, since early childhood, that I'm gonna end up in jail! Now, fortunately, that hasn't happened yet, and I'm 49 by now. And there is absolutely no reason why it should, I'm not a criminal, but a respected member of my community and a family man. But funny, isn't it.

Hi relundad. Life isn't the way we plan it. If so everyone will be happy. The only thing we can have a sure is that we need to try again and again. It keep us living with hope. We never know what is coming and it is the magic of life. Cheers and have a nice day.

yes i also has something when i was a child i thought i would become a professional.....but after all still I am in a seminary loking for priesthood

I actually didn't like anything "automatic" to happen to me. I mean, i went against what they say as the "natural order" in life. I wanted to have a baby with a guy i love but who didn't want to marry me. i thought it would be enough to make me happy. I assumed that it would be kind of cool and fashionable. Well, i "tried" so hard, for two years but all i got was a broken heart full of pains, and a whole, but empty belly. Now i am happily married, with two beautiful baby boys. And have realized that i was so selfish to want to give birth to a fatherless child just to make myself feel good and happy. It wasn't fashionable and cool after all. It is just a painful reality. Ironic, because i didn't get what i wanted so bad, and was given something what i thought to be a "boring cliche", but ended up happy and feeling blessed. There is a blessing waiting for us to discover somewhere in the "twists" that we have encountered along the way. We just have to hunt for that treasure, and usually we could find it in the most unexpected places. In our "unexpected turn-outs" actually lies an unexpected treasure. Happy MyLotting!

I always thought I'd be married not soon after I got into college. I thought I'd be married either a few years after I started college or would be engaged at least by the time I was about to graduate. However that definitely is not the case. I am not engaged and really have no plans to become engaged in the immediate future. I never planned on having children earlier or anything so that definitely is not on the list of things I expected. Everything else however I kind of expected to happen but it hasn't. I don't think I'm disappointed or anything however. I mean our lives change and circumstances change so it's really nothing to worry about.

Hi relundad I don't regret anything that has happened in my life..it has been hard,abusive amongst a lot of other things but I have been blessed in being able to surpass those things and live for the future, and though I may not forget I can forgive and live for today also I have been blessed more importantly with 2 children now adults and a grandson..my life has never been perfect sometimes I have had to scrimp and scrap for the next meal but through it all have been taught hard lessons in life and how to overcome them with dignity and and morals..littleowl

I thought that when I married it would be for life. Unfortunately, he didn't think the same way and left me for an old girlfriend. I thought I would be able to see something of the world when my kids were grown but I'm lucky to pay the bills. However, I have two wonderful sons that light up my life so I wouldn't change a thing!

Like everybody who gets married I just assumed that we were special and that it would last. Looking doubtful...

No, I guess not. I always knew that whatever I needed to seek God's will for my life and that whatever I did want to happen, I needed to pray (making sure it was in God's will), then go after it.

i dont think anyones life goes as planned/assumed.. i had decided i wasnt going to marry at all then got married at 17.. some times situations make no sense and you do what is right for you.. would you have rather been married in your 20s and have a few kids and then be divorced or something or in a bad marriage.. 50% of marriages divorce so even if you had gone automatic doesnt mean it would have stayed that way.. or that it would have been a good fit for you

This might seem a little strange but i had always convinced myself when i was a young teen that i would never be man enough to have children. To elaborate more, i had it in my head that my stuff would never be good enough to father a child. It seems ridiculous, i know but somehow i was convinced i've automatically never have kids. 6 years later of course and im a father now, my daughter is one and a half and getting on brilliantly. I also assumed that i would get a job and get driving lessons way before the age i am now, but i am forever getting knocked back in interviews and cars quite frankly scare the crap out of me!
