I do wish though that she had come into my life a bit later. I still have so much growing up to do and I needed more life experiences. I am trying to learn and get better at being married. But I have a steep learning curve. She and I would be much better off if I was a better person and more mature.
Would you choose your spouse/SO again if you had the chance?

The key now is to follow through on doing something about it, which I know you will.

***Bringing this thread alive!!!
I opened my macbook and somehow I ended up here!!![:lol: :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
After 5 years have passed and I can't believe what I have said in the past
I will say this, I jumped on the dating side bandwagon on 2018, have dated a couple girls more than a few times, never became a thing. Then of course covid happened along with Turkey, which at that point, the dating scene has become progressively worse and worse when times go on. Realistically once I started dating Annie and as our relationship became serious. From day 1, I never had any sort of anxiety from the first date, smoothest experience to date. I was well being myself (always has been, but I felt like I had to adjust myself). Before I knew it, I spent almost every weekend with her. Went to NYC, went to a concert, valentines day dinner (started dating end of January last year 2022) within a month span. After my Turkey hiatus when I came back around September 2021, I jumped back on hinge after I settled myself again in the US. I had a good time meeting 3 wonderful ladies that I have had few dates with, t'was fun but intentions aren't met and I was chill with it, I changed the way my thinking differently which helps me to move on faster. Then there's Annie, we matched when I was going to Turkey for almost a month. Our convo's are 5/7, which ultimately makes me decided to pause hinge (yes you can do that) once I got the number.
Long story short, after months of dating Annie, I have came to a realization that she can actually put up with me and I can put up with her Latina sassiness. Yes, she's hella sassy and possessive at first until our trust sets in. Her family calls her a limon (lemon in spanish and in turkish) which is how I (and we turks) also describe sassy. She's just adorable with her limonness which makes her parents
for the fact that she found a guy (me) that can handle. Those who have met me knows I tend to get a little temperamental. I remember one time when we were driving in Manhattan in May, I honked at this npc uber camry who was eating ass, so when I went around, he accelerated and almost t-boned me as I was turning right, the fucker had the audacity to honk at me so I honked him back, then my temper set in, slam on the breaks and almost got out of the car, but Annie swiftly grabbed my arm, pulled me in and consoled me. At that very moment, I knew what real love was. Then I realized that all the other girls I've dated would no way in hell do that or leave me on the spot, put up with me etc.
Yes there are hotter, prettier girls than her, Annie is beautiful to my eyes. But at that point I have no desire to even think about other women in regards to dating or anything else for that matter.
She made me a better person and I also made her a better person, when she came to Turkey with me last summer, she facetimed her brother and for the first time, he was shocked that annie actually smiled according to him. That says a lot.
After an essay, then yes, my vote is![:fuckyeah: :fuckyeah:](./images/smilies/fuckyeah.gif)

I figured i'd update and lets see the current status. It seems like a lot of us are in stable relationships, especially marriages from that time frame. Crotchfruits and so on. I've been daying annie roughly, 17-18 months. I will say I never had something serious previously. Lot of glow ups guise.
Also looking back on what I mentioned of the girl I dated, I would be
