Just to refute one of these as it’s a bit of a misconception. > Married people wished they were single to enjoy the freedom and live a simpler life. While single people wished they met a SO to be less lonely. What single people want is the option to not be single and to not be lonely. When people are married and wish to be single - it’s not that they wish to be lonely, it’s that they wish they could have more freedom. (This has little to do with marriage and more to do with other life choices. I know married people with more freedom than single people) I think you’re oversimplifying things by ignoring the fact that people want both and not either/or. They want to be young and rich. They want to have their health and their wealth. They want to be single but not fucking lonely. It’s really not that hard to understand when you don’t make false equivalencies and bullshit narratives.
