wait and see
“I regret not waiting longer before getting married. I rushed into it way too fast. Everyone says ‘Awww, you guys dated in high school,’ but maybe that was my biggest mistake.”
meeting his family
“I wish I had gotten to know my husband’s family better before we got married. She’s so insufferable and I’m really not sure I would have even married him if I had known that then.”
having a baby
“I wish I had had a baby before I got married. My husband is great, but he already has four kids and doesn’t want any more. I gave up my desire to have children for him, but I regret not having my own before.”
finish education
“I just wish I had finished my degree before I got married. I feel like I have to stay with my husband even if we don’t get along because I don’t have an education to live off of.”
getting along on your own
“I wish I had learned how to deal with my depression and anxiety before I got married. I’m grateful for the support my husband gives me, but I feel like I should be able to cope on my own and I can’t.”
learning self-love
“I wish I had learned to love myself first. The fact that I didn’t think I was lovable put a lot of strain on my marriage to some extent.”
