I married late. It makes for a rocky road and narrow options indeed. With hindsight, I probably would not have done it.
I encourage young people to marry when they are ready. Smart and positive people need to reproduce too, not chase paper until it is almost too late.
I’ll never marry, had my shot and it all went south.
After watching my friends lives torn apart by divorce I know I made the right choice, for me.
That decision can free you in a way to pursue your dreams, while standing on your own, very satisfying.
While not perfect, at least I am not living in a studio apartment watching some other man raise my children.
