“I found marriage somewhat stifling. I don't know that I am the kind of man who ought to be married.”

In marriage there are no manners to keep up, and beneath the wildest accusations no real criticism. Each is familiar with that ancient child in the other who may erupt again. We are not ridiculous to ourselves. We are ageless. That is the luxury of the wedding ring.
And in a marriage you can't TRY and be married. You're married or you're not married... as far as I'm concerned.
My parents had a great marriage. Interestingly, it made it harder for me in relationships because I knew what a good relationship looked like.
If you want to sacrifice the admiration of many men for the criticism of one, go ahead, get married.
