I'm 24 and, as 24-year-olds should be (not that all of us are), I'm single. And if this is what I have to look forward to... well, what's the point in it?

Do I really want to be married to somebody who feels as though she is "putting up" with me? Or who feels like she has "settled" because apparently, there's something wrong with me? Or who feels like she's better than I deserve? Or who thinks that she can do just as well without me?

On a serious note -- if men were completely honest, I'm sure many of them would have complaints about their wives. Like how she's fatter than when they got married (nope, can't say that, that's going to offend too many people.) Or how they never have sex. Of course, these complaints are superficial. I guess complaining about how he never does the laundry and can't cook anything other than macaroni and cheese, or how he likes to watch football and drink beer, is okay, but complaining about somebody getting fat as the marriage goes on isn't.
