When you get a chance, google "Ted Talk Harvard Study". The gist of the 79 year study is that good relationships, marriage, family, community, lead to longer, healthier, happier lives. After 35 years of marriage, I'm ever more grateful that my lovely bride agreed to build a life and family with me. I am anything BUT miserable. Enjoy your solitude if that's what lights your candle.
A marriage is not essential to "be happy" or to live longer. You can have a relationship with a partner without being married or living together and your life's work isn't at risk and be completely happy at same time. If a woman is OK with that scenario it shows me she's way more trust worthy than where a woman needs that legal agreement to be with a man. It proves she's not looking for the pay day.
The other part of my comments about doing what I want when I want aren't "self centered" as many of the married men on here are trying to say. Being self centered suggests I only think of myself and don't consider others or do anything for others. Couldn't be further from the truth. I do plenty for the GF. That comment means that it's my life and if I want to go golf, or go visit a friend in another state, buy a new car or anything of the like, I go do it and don't have to "run" it by the wife for approval. I simply let the GF know that's what I'm doing and she's say "OK!". No way could I tolerate a woman telling me I couldn't go do something or buy something (with the money I earn) because of ...... fill in the blank for a reason as many many many of the married guys I fly with deal with. And by the way, the flip side is true for the GF. She's free to do what she wants when she wants without needing any permission from me. It's a wonderful arrangement.
Now if you have the marriage where your wife is just kick ass awesome then great!!! Good for you and all the other happily married men on here. No need to convince me how happy you are. I have nothing against that. However, IF things ever go south for any of you, the big difference between you guys and me is that I won't be giving up one cent to get out of a relationship, I won't have to find a new place to live and I won't have to adjust my retirement plans because I gave half of my assets to the ex. There's a saying: "You never really know a woman until you meet her in court".

Along these lines, here's a pretty good read...if you can find it.
The Predatory Female: A Field Guide to Dating and the Marriage-Divorce Industry by Reverend Lawrence Shannon.
https://www.amazon.com/Predatory-Fem.../dp/0961593806
It's very difficult to find at a reasonable price. I wonder why?![Smile](https://www.airlinepilotforums.com/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Click the reviews on the Amazon page if curious.

Would you go to vegas and bet half of your net worth on a game with only 50% odds? That's basically marriage (the financial aspect at least).

Hmmm... strictly dollars and sense (and cents maybe.)
Given the average number of times married couples have sex and the odds of a divorce, over the course of one's aviation career, isn't it cheaper to pay your favorite pornstar at your leisure than paying alimony and losing half of your multimillion dollar retirement?
Just spitballing here, but added bonus being no nagging, no begging, no fake headaches, no ballbusters unless that's your thing, you can change your favorite pornstar anytime you feel like it, no one telling you you can't buy that car/plane/boat/gun/toy you've always wanted, no social media scandals, the list just goes on and on.
All the fun you can handle at arguably less than half of the price.
And yes, I failed Hogan.
