TS why choose to spend your time blaming & moping? Do you want to drag in all your female relatives and blame them as well for being gold diggers? Your Mum, Aunties , cousins are all gold diggers? LOL roughly 3 in 10 marriages fail, did someone hold a knife on your throat to force you into marriage? As a grown adult, you have to be responsible for your actions & decisions. Ever consider there are still the 7/10 marriages that continue? There are still many couples who celebrate their 30/40th anniversaries. You need a change in your perspective seriously. See a counselor or a psychiatrist to work out your problems properly instead of coming to a fuking sex forum for answers to your life issues. Take Positive action!

With the marital rape law repealed, you will realise that there's no incentive in marriage. The marriage does not provide a sanctuary for a couple to indulge in the union.

You can slog like a dog and return home to a sexless marriage. Might as well not marry.

I think if your wife know you since school days or when you only started work, most likely genuine because you are so poor back then and she is willingly to go through all with you. However, if you are better off and start a relationship when you are like mid-30s, its kinda unavoidable that the girls too are more practical and mature since they have been through failed relationships too.

clearly you have never dated girls from rich families, these girls DONT marry down, so they expect you to be the main breadwinner, but instead of being happy with hawker meals they want fine dining. The only advantage is that if you want to make large investments they have the capacity either though their own earnings or their family money to contribute so your wealth grows faster than if you married a poor girl who cannot contribute much ie 1mill investment at 5% ROI, vs a 10k investment at 5%

Then she will make you pay either alimony or child maintenance if you have children or both. It seems that most women here are gold-diggers.

What do the brothers and sisters think?

Although I am only in my 20s.... I have vowed to remain a bachelor for the rest of my life.
What surprised me most when I made this declaration was that my mum and aunties fully supported me!
And sometimes they willingly take on the role of goalkeepers to block or stop any females from getting too close to me.

Good for you. This is not really common. Most parents want their children to get married.

When I was nearing 40, my mum keep wanting to find wife for me and pressure me.
