I don't do a lot of "young stuff". I doubt I will go to a Lady GaGa concert, for example. But I went to a car racetrack on Friday night with a friend. And I go out hiking with my camera whenever I have the inclination and the time.

For me, I'll actually have to want to get married before I will. And children are still another mile down the road beyond that. Unlike many, I have dismissed any timetable for such things. Given the rocky road so many people have with marriage, my day for marriage may never come. If not, so be it. I'm not worried about it. Others are worried about it for me, but I'm not concerned. I am enjoying myself and am very conscious of the freedom my lifestyle affords me. I do not take it for granted.
When I was 28 I was single and very content with my life. However other people felt I needed to be married & have kids.

Fast forward 15 years where I am today is married and with an incredible young 12 year old boy.

I have been married to a difficult woman who needs help in everything. Quite the contrast from what I imagined.

When I read your thoughts I thought some loser will come into her life and disturb the peace. I too enjoy quiet walks in nature taking pictures but when i decide to do that I have a wife asking where I was and who with. Had she appreciated the things I enjoy I would have invited her. Sometimes it's a sunset that is spontaneous. You would think After 15 years she would trust me but she has lots of issues which only encourage me to move on when my boy is 18.

Well take a look at who pays the heftier price for divorce? Men usually lose custody of the children, have to move out, pay child support, pay alimony....Not only does society put blame on them but they make them pay for it too.

How does society put the blame on them, unless they actually did something blameworthy?

Alimony is mostly a thing of the past.

These days, guys can get close to 50/50 custody, if that is what they really want.

Hell man you got it made. If you are happy with your life the way it is why change it? At your age I would not even want to entertain the idea of having kids.

Well, two of my closest co-workers are married, we are all the same age and I don't really hear a lot of good things about their marriages:

Case #1- Tom has been married for 2 years, his wife just had a baby 5 months ago and I have never seen this guy as stressed out as he has
been lately.

He is constantly IM'ing his wife through out the day and she is always complaining about something. Every time I tell him about my weekend trips and hooking up with different girls, I can tell he totally envies me. Financial situation: horrendous!

Case #2: Larry has been married for about 3 years. His wife is cool but she pretty much runs the show and wears the pants in the family. His wife has been pressuring him because she wants a baby and he is very weak, he will pretty much do whatever she tells him. They have a very weird marriage, because she is always traveling to different places and he seems to be OK with it, every time I tell him about a new girl I met, his eyes light up, and every time he sees a new girl in the office, he gets super excited, probably ain't getting much action from his wife, I would assume. Financial situation: horrendous!

Once again, these are two people who are very smart, good, educated and come from good families. I don't envy their lives not even for a minute!

According to society a man is crap if he's single or divorced. Divorced is worse cause you've been thrown on the scrapheap. I admire you for being a rebel and for being true to yourself. I wish I had your strength. I'll make a statement though and it'll be the biggest FU to society.

In Asian countries, if a woman is divorced then society will think negative of her.
