A recent study by the American Sociological Association found that women initiate 69% of all divorces.
An even higher rate of 90% of all divorces are initiated by college-educated women.
I may die alone; or my husband may. But we will have had decades of memory-making, character-building through shared difficulties, bonding and loving to see us through the lonely years.
People who aren’t willing to make commitments and live by them wind up having very thin ‘lonely-times’ at the end, however it goes.

And how did you wind up an expert on the feelings of people men who didn’t live the way you think they should?
That is so arrogant of you. You actually believe that someone who didn’t spend decades with the same person is shallow and has no deep bonds, no amazing memories, nothing they look back on with happiness?
Oh, and by the way, they might have kids even without a wife. They might also have sisters, brothers, nieces, nephews, friends, etc.

You’re assuming facts not in evidence. You can speak for yourself and maybe your significant other but no one else.
You don’t know what happens behind closed doors. If people are happy together or just put on a happy face around others because they are so economically intertwined they can’t get divorced or don’t want to disappoint the kids/grandkids or a just afraid of being alone.
I learned a long time ago that it’s better to be alone than in a relationship and be unhappy. I learned it first hand and saw it in my own parents relationship. They are together but there’s no love there.
Also, one super important point you missed, is someone can be alone and never be lonely. We aren’t all cut from the same cloth. Some of like the solitary life without the all noise and honey-do’s.
There’s nothing in the Bible to my knowledge that says one must be married to be happy. I can say marriage is one of the leading causes of unhappiness though. It’s great when it does work out though...
There are many anti-marriage male Freepers even tho the website center headline reads:
Welcome to Free Republic!
Conservatives for God, Family, Country!

Threads like these bring them out. Sadly, they will never understand what you are saying...
