Did Lincoln Regret Marrying Mary?

[irshgrl500]

I think Lincoln loved both his wife and sons very much. What are the major arguments that he regretted marrying Mary? I know Michael Burlingame lists a series of "incidents" noted by neighbors in Springfield, but personally I have thought Abraham had a "that's Mary" attitude toward these rather than serious regret.

I agree, Roger. I think both Abraham & Mary loved their sons, very much, and they were an important thread that they shared, equally in the items that brought both spouses, together. I also think that Abraham had a laissez-faire attitude, about Mary.
