Marriage and having kids is a total non-starter for me. Money's definitely one thing, but, lord knows I'll ever be able to emotionally and mentally handle a long term relationship, let alone marriage, and ESPECIALLY having kids. But if I was less self aware enough (like some of my neighbours) to actually go through with all of those, I'd be completely screwed, and it'd absolutely lead to a divorce.The sky-high divorce rate has been driven precisely by the cultural idea that marriage is the default end-point. This leads to people pursuing a direction in life that will not suit them or result in a comfortable existence.
Being self aware enough to see all the cons associated with it that'd lead to it not going well, why would I even bother?
The world itself is so volatile that it's no wonder"relationship culture" isn't what it used to be. Who can get into such a thing, let alone maintain it, with the way everything is these days? That includes both people and society as a whole
