Yes and yes to both...but if I could go back in time, there are few things that I would have changed about myself.

Yep ! He still rocks my world. Annoying habits and all !

We've been together for over 21 years now, married for only 6 months so we've seen the best and the worst and been through it all pretty much. I can honestly say I have never once looked at another guy "that way" since I met him.

Even when I occasionally want to throw something sharp at him I still know he is the one for me. We complement each other and I could not imagine life without him.

I don't believe in eternity but if I did it would be fine with me ! He is my best friend and that to me is more important than anything else in a way.

As we grow older together, we get even closer and though it sounds very trite I do love him more than I did 21 years ago. "Warts" and all. And I believe the same goes for him too.

I dunno, I like him too much to put him through that again.

But, yes to 1 and 2.

What about you, Coolhand? You going to answer your own question?

I'm with Mooseketeer! For us it's been over 12 years and my only regret is that I didn't find him years earlier. Maybe when the honeymoon is over, I'll feel differently, but for now I'm enjoying every moment - even his warts! I know it's mutual - after all we're friends so we tell each other all our secrets!

I didn't ask if you'd get a divorce, I asked if you'd do it all over again. I'll put you down for a yes/yes regardless.
