I just know it. Have seen the same thing in my parent's relationship. Mom doting to me too much, ignoring dad, refusing to go for date nights and all that. It created a lot of tension between the two . My dad is way more romantic than my mom.

So. I know how a man's life become after his wife give birth.

It isn't so black and white. I love both my children and my husband in different ways. They both mean so much to me. To us. Without my sweet husband, there'd be no children for me. The children are a product of our love for each other. I would be bereft if either of them were taken from my life.

Its about giving of yourself equally.

No. All you know is how your parents are. One couple is not indicative of the behavior of all people. But this certainly explains everything.

It's pretty obvious why women would love their kids more than anything, considering they carried the child around for nine months and they can also be completely sure the child is theirs (whereas a man can never truly 100% know, naturally at least).

As for men and women and how they love each other, my bro science theory is that the way women love is the way it is for adaptive purposes. Men in general are disposable when it comes to mating. If you have a bunch of males and one female, she can still only get pregnant once... but if you have a bunch of females, even just one male can impregnate all of them. Plus, when a girl is pregnant, she's really vulnerable (more than females already are in general). So, you can see why it would be adaptive for women to be able to get over separation with or loss of a mate... It's easier to find a new mate to replace the old one and she needs that because she's dependent on males for protection, resources, etc. That's just my bro science theory, anyway.

If you don't want to get married - don't get married. Citing "research" and "facts" that are opinions is pointless. You don't need a reason to not want to get married just like you don't need a reason to not want to have children. Live the life you want to live and stop trying to justify your reasoning with silly things that are not provable.
You actually do need a reason to not want to get married or to breed. It's so atypical when it comes to society that it's pathetic. You don't just get up and not get married or breed for no reason. Not wanting that/them is a reason and a good enough one. They will still get judged though because they are the minority and they were intelligent to make a sound decision. So they will forever be a target for derision and patronization. Life goes on.

I don't think there is such a thing as unconditional love.
I don't think all people are capable of unconditional love, but some are.

Sure. I don't understand the comparisons anyhow. Fortunately, my husband doesn't need me to love him like a parent to child.

Of course. One cannot tackle biology. So no worries.
