Analyze yourself: why are you not married?
Hmmm....I was almost married over a decade ago. That's about as close as I have gotten to marriage and about as close as I want to get to it. There are a few reasons for this. One is watching my parents. That didn't end well and wasn't well during my entire childhood. Another is watching every other married couple I know. Every one of them is miserable. Utterly miserable. Another one is listening to the married women I've fucked. All they do is complain about their men, in one form or another. All very good reasons to not get married, especially the trophy wives I've had recently. Why put myself through that?
I'm a firm believer that people marry for all the wrong reasons. They want someone to take care of them. They see their partner (female as well as male) as a meal ticket. They see them as a status symbol. They get married after the woman becomes pregnant. They stay married "for the children". I certainly don't need to fall into this line of thinking. I don't want anyone to see me as their meal ticket out of anything or as someone to be dependant upon. Besides, I tend to be very selfish these days. Life's too short. "To thine own self be true", as someone smarter and wiser than me once wrote (William Something or other...wrote plays in England).
