To a shameful extent, the charm of marriage boils down to how unpleasant it is to be alone.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The funny thing is I'm not bothered or sad about being on my own - after all I've never had a husband.
Marriage is nature's way of keeping us from fighting with strangers.
I found marriage somewhat stifling. I don't know that I am the kind of man who ought to be married.
Adultery is the ultimate deal-breaker for me. I would rather be alone than in a relationship that doesn't honor me.
It's better to be unhappy alone than unhappy with someone - so far.
In the aftermath of a marriage, you feel helpless and hapless.
It's so easy to grow apart; marriage takes work.
It is misery, you know, unspeakable misery for the man who lives alone and who detests sordid, casual affairs; not old enough to do without women, but not young enough to be able to go and look for one without shame!
Marriage is a mystery, and part of it is just being kind to each other, not being selfish.
Seriously - quite seriously - I firmly believe that marriage is to be enjoyed and shared.
