I read in the papers today that a lot of modern men and women
are no longer into marriage here. They'd rather seek
emotional support with their group of girlfriends or men with their
gang and when they need sexual release, seek a non-commital
arrangement.
The funny thing is, I've met a few elderly widows or elderly
married women in my work and they ALL tell me, "You're
single? Good! Smart girl! Stay single!!
Marriage is over-rated!" 
Even the 'happily-married' old ladies all tell me that if
they had their youth all over again, they would make very
different choices and they might not even bother to get married at
all! 
Thing is, a number of these women are talented and astute, but
they had to sacrifice it all to stay at home and take care of the
husband and kids because there's no such thing as domestic help
here unless you are filthy rich.
Singlehood is a very viable option these days...
i rather have a partner, no need to get married
so if there's any problem, can move out
and i won't be a "divorcee" HAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~
