Growing up in the wrong 50% of families certainly doesn't help either. Watching my parents' resentment towards each other gradually build up over the years, eventually resulting in a messy divorce, is definitely not an experience I'd want to put any kid through, much less my own. Even the thought of ending up in a marriage like that terrifies me to no end, to the point that I'd much rather to just never marry and never have kids than to risk following my parents' footsteps. Luckily enough, I have a great job, and some great friends to keep me company when I need it, so I'm certainly in no rush to take a gamble with the rest of my life any time soon.
