I used to dream about getting married, how nice it would be to have a home, and travel, raise a family, etc.
In recent years however, it has become apparent just how lucky I am in this society to be free of such absurdly one-sided alliances and obligations. Leaving aside for a moment the companionship and love angles, there is absolutely no upside to give up the single life.
After the 4 year battle for divorce I went through I tell all my friends, DO NOT GET MARRIED!
