man. if you really really talk to a lot of married men these days...you realize its a bit of a scam.
its not a decision to make or take lightly
just yesterday i was coming back home from a networking event at my alma mater, and was speaking to a colleague i had met for the first time (he's in a different department). and eventually on the train ride we started talking about life, marriage and all that. upon finding out i was single he basically told me i was lucky to have my freedom and how he was pressured from his family to get married and have kids. hes a chinese fellow with a wife and a 2 year old. i broke up with my ex maybe 4 months ago and upon explaining some of the reasons he was really sympathetic cause he goes through similar shyt. he said having a child and watching them grow and stuff is interesting, but i can tell that for the most part he wishes he wasnt married.
overall there are pros and cons to both singledom and relationships though. a lot of dudes out here are being castrated and beat down by women who are entitled, unappreciative, petulant and nitpicky these days. modern women are often not worth it man. i would advise most men to be very careful and selective with who they choose to marry.
