Very true. Marry (or worse, have children) with the wrong woman and your life is guaranteed to be an expensive hell for up to 18 years (22 in some jurisdictions).
Real-life nuggets of wisdom from Siegried Farnon (James Herriot's boss in the All Creatures Great And Small books):
"Have a bloody good look at the mother first, lad." (Women tend to turn into their mother in middle age.)
"Marry in haste, repent at leisure."
Cheers!
This is very important advice in our modern day. There are a lot of toxic “womyn” out there and 75% of divorces are initiated by them.
