Apparently, many people feel that way. ;) What's that old saying about a marriage being "something everyone not in one wants to get into, and everyone in one wants to get out of". ;) Yeah, one does lose a lot of freedom particularly once kids arrive, but then, it seems totally worth it to me. I'd be bored and lonely without my lovely family that's for sure (despite some pretty full-on over-and-above and restrictive caring responsibilities). I hope you can be happy :) I see frustration with your life in your posts sometimes, and just hope that people on here are saying helpful and kind things.
