Is it normal to wish that i had waited to have sex, after i was married.!

I used to have sex with many girls in high school and college. Now I look back, and... sex really wasn't that good, like it was a waste of time or even felt bad for doing it. Well I did it anyway and finally knocked someone up. Had a baby girl, got married, and less than a year later divorced, keep in mind this was about 5 years ago. The sex was horrible! Over the next 2 years I stay away from any type of relationship with any women. I spent time with my daughter, who I was raising at the time, and started to get interested in this whole Jesus Christ thing. I ended up getting saved. In 2007 one of my co-workers hooked me up with his sister. Long story short, we get married 8 months after we first met, and now have been married for almost 2 1/2 years. We are both Christians that share a passion for God and children, we teach a 2yr old class on sundays. We both have the greatest sex life together that we have ever experienced in our lives. Now I wish that I had waited for her and had been a virgin, that I would not be able to comprehend our sex life, our connection. I have a hard time doing that now! Praise Jesus!

    That is a great story! I'm Christian too and regret a lot of my past.. The meaning of bring saved is that you don't have to live in anxiety from what you've done in your past.. Sometimes it's harder to forgive yourself.. Totally normal to look back and regret though.. I actually do the same thing I regret the majority of men I've had sex with.. You just have to let it go, think of it as a blessing that you married someone who have a deep spiritual bond with and god blessed you with great sex AND you know the meaning of great sex, since your past relationships the sex wasn't great. Plus she loves and adores your daughter! What a great story!

  • I agree with not going back, nor ruminating on, nor reframing the past - its pointless and self denigrating.

    You were young, you were active sexually - as are a lot of young people; and, you got caught. Maybe if you had your druthers, it'd be different. But what happened is not bad.

    You tried to do what you thought was right in marrying it didn't work. You have a daughter. Talk about silver lining!

    So why condemn your past from the standpoint of bible belt prudery? That has little to do with Christianity, which teaches love, forgiveness and acceptance.

    To notanicegirl: be careful what you assume. There is a section in the Bible called "Song of Songs" where they revel in sexual, married love via oral sex and a variety of sexual positions. Anyone who says Christians can only have missionary sex is wrong. Also, while I don't entirely agree with the poster, I'm sure they would appreciate respectful comments and not inappropriate assumptions.

  • Praise Jesus.......... Seriously? That story is absurd the reason it didn't work out with your first wife is because u weren't right together not because u had sex before

    You can not go back now. Just see it as your past and move forward and enjoy your life now. Everyone makes mistakes and you have to learn from them.

    I think you may think this, but you now have the ability to distinguish the difference between love and lust. If you would have waited, at some point in time, you may wonder, and now you don't have to.

    Wonderful...cheap sex is a terrible disappointment, just no one in the media has the guts to report that. Sex is business to these liberal sickos.

    I am christian too..I think it's a great thing Jesus died for all sins...so the fact that you say you should have waited and I am assuming you mean waiting for your current wife and not the first, is a little harsh...if you had no sexual past you wouldnt have your beautiful little girl! remember everything happens for a reason

    if u didnt have the experience with sex that you had before your marriage your sex life with your wife would not be the same. think how awful u and ur partner where when u were a virgin losing it for the first time. think of it as practice for having a great sex life with your wife. u gotta look on the good side of things cuz u cant go back and change it now

    I dunno, can you look your daughter in the eye and say "I wish I hadn't had you."? Did you ever stop to think that the reason sex is good now is because you're older and have more experienced? If you saved yourself for this chick it could be just as bad AND you'd never know it because you'd have nothing to compare it to. You also wouldn't have your daughter. Praise Jesus, you had the opportunity to go around and ring up some experience before meeting Ms. Right! Count yourself lucky!

    I used to wish that too. I just have to learn from anything I thought of as mistakes and realize that I have found that one person I want to be with the rest of my life :)

    @ Runner girl, the name says it all I am not here to be polite or appropriate, and I must have hit a nerve because I have not heard a peep out of the original poster. So save your chastising for some that cares.

    If you had gone back, then you never would have married your first wife and in turn had your daughter, and if you hadn't married your first wife then you never would have met the guy who introduced you to your current wife. Everything happens for a reason...

    OMG how I LOVE this stupid Fudie rhetorical BS *rubs hands together happily* now lets dig in !
    the sex really wasn't that good and you feel bad about now. Did you ejaculate? Ok then it was good sex and you enjoyed it at the time. But now that you have found Jesus-Ah you know that the sex was sinful and wrong. WHATEVER- like I said before you- came... you had a kid and got married for the wrong reasons and were probably too young or uninformed to make it work but now you found Jesus-ah and have a new wife that you enjoy divine missionary position sex with. Because sex is for PRO-creation not recreations so no oral or anal fun which is why all you fire and brimstone clowns condemn homosexuality because no offspring are possible from the union. But anyway back to the divine sex you tell yourself things like God gave humans the ability to achieve orgasm to bring man and wife closer and strengthen their holy loving bond blah..blah..blah.. you people are all the same and none of you are smart

      Pointless rant...that is why poster felt no need to respond. It is as if you read a completely different story where the poster gave out all that stuff as fact. Except he didn't...you just took it out of thin air and accused him of being such a person.
      Whatever. All in the name of anti-religion I guess.
