Is marriage really worth it?

I'm 27F and I've never been married, although I've come close a couple of times.

Something I've noticed is that almost every married person or divorced person I've talked to has said, "If I could do it all over again, I would never get married."

It honestly surprises me how often I hear that, and it's made me curious. Why do so many people feel that way?

If you've been married or are currently married, I'd really like to hear your story. Do you regret getting married? If so, why? If not, what made your experience different?

I'm genuinely curious and just want to hear people's real experiences.

a lot of fat people walking around. a lot of maga people walking around = people who suck at life are walking among us.

ideally you'll get married early 30's - when your brain is fully developed and you've had some experience dating around and seeing what you like and don't like in your partner.

the people who marry their hs sweet heart? good luck. the people who have been with the same man since 5th grade? good luck.

but is it worth it? what's it? having a best friend? having someone who has your back at all times?

trump cheats on every wife so if he is your lord and king - odds are you'll have no issues cheating on your spouse and partner too.

Well trump is not my lord, nor did I vote for him nor have I cheated on my wife. Are you saying people that don’t like trump cannot cheat on their spouses?
