I think a lot of people secretly regret getting married young.
They are often happy with the person they are with. But they do have this other side that longs for what could have been.
I'll be honest, there are a few couples I feel bad for because I know they have these feelings.
They locked in at a young age with someone. They have never “been with” anyone else. And meanwhile they are spending their 20's and 30's surrounded by people that are partying like drunken sailors.
I get it.
In a country with a 50% divorce rate, the prospect of spending all your young years in a marriage that later implodes is a natural fear.
