I sowwed my wild oats in the early part of my life. I don't have a problem being with my wife for the rest of my life, and since that's a deal-breaker for her, it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make. Besides, back in the mid-90's, I had a streak of 8 consecutive weekends spent with different women that broke because I got bored with it.
I wish I'd traveled more in Russia - my wife doesn't really want to go, and since her fears aren't necessarily groundless, it's going to be hard to negotiate her off that point.
I wish I'd done more backpacking and camping - the wife has actually called a night spent in a 5-star resort's cabana on the water camping. It's not something she's interested in, but I'll most likely just have to wait until my son is old enough to go.
Really, there's not much that I gave up to be married. I'm more of an outdoors person than she is, but I just have to put that part of my life on hold while waiting for Max to get old enough to do that stuff with me.
