Is marriage and kids a good idea in Singapore?

[ACJCian]

Ya la, agree with the other bros, different stage in life will augur different sets of wants and expectations. Now at our prime, firing and forgetting might be the best course given that it entails minimal cost but maximum satisfaction. In all, it's a lifestyle that fits our current needs. But those needs change as we grow old and mellow, and we crave for more permanent bonds and more sustainable relationships, that's where we will ask ourselves, where were the good heydays? As such, when I think about marriage and all, I do see the pitfalls of the present, but I also worry about the future. Do I want to be all alone? Well, I think each of us will have a different answer to that question. With me, I'll take that leap of faith and find the one. Though I'm fully cognizant, it's gonna be one hell of a ride.

Wad makes u so sure tat u won't be alone when u r old after marriage? Love and Marriage r two separate things. Ever heard of the ending of a joke whereby the God of Wealth always follow the God of Happiness (and never the other way round)? Well, u can jolly well treat Marriage as the God of Wealth.

Don't expect happiness after marriage. Don't! Seriously Don't!

Marriage is jus an responsibility in the society we lived in. We r educated and brain washed in such a way tat Marriage is jus a natural way to be when very much in Love. Having kid helps to encourage population growth. THAT'S IT! NOTHING ROMANTIC ABOUT IT ALL!

If u r looking for tat passionate heart racing feelings, u'll never find it in Marriage. U can oni find in Love. Do u really need some experts to tell u why the divorce rate is still so bloody high? Bcoz everybody is not willing to be trapped in an unloved marriage anymore. Women who r afraid to make such decision 20yrs ago r now not afraid to fuck u in the face when they don't get their expected hourly dosage of love.

They r simply irrational, illogical and irreasonable inside waiting to burst open n bite ur neck till u bleed to death. And when she stand trial for murder, the women charter says:"aiyah she bor bian lah, her husband must hav done something terrible to her tat's why she's forced to defend herself lah. 30secs on the breast is not call molest so 30secs on the neck is not murder lah"

There's no 100% right answer, to each his own.

My own experience, regretted getting married because i'm the cheongster type, got married bcoz of "commitment" to gf who had been with me for 10yrs....

Am still married even though there a few episodes which could had me divorced or back to singlehood again....

I don't believe any man can resist any kind of temptation from the opposite sex, neither can I...

The thing is, gals are ez to come by now probably bcoz we r still "attractive" in some ways or another; be it good-looking, rich, drives a nice sports car, charismatic etc...

The day will come when our choenging buddies are no longer around us, when we grow old and gals are no longer attracted to us...

Nevertheless, all the above are just views of each individual, thus to get married or not, still your own choice pal....
