Yip, it's a little thing called human nature, until you finally wake up and realise that you are just happy with your lot in life and dont seek validation in people or things.
I disagree...its not our duty to marry. Maybe in your country there is more of a pressure to conform to what is expected of you but not where I come from.
It may take some while to recondition yourself from what you were always told as a child growing up. If you really feel the need to marry, first ask yourself why?....
I think its brave of people to come out and say they are not the most maternal or paternal people in the world and therefore wouldnt subject a child to being rared by someone who didnt really want them. Likewise for marriage...some are not able to stay committed and loyal in a marriage so they choose not to be married.
Its personal choice...and sadly in some countries...seemingly mandatory.
Try figuring your own self and life out first before you want to bring someone into it...that is of course you already have done so.
It's simple really, if you dont like what he offers or is looking for then just say so. No point arguing with him over his choices, they are his to own,not for you to fret about.

I dont think men are the least of these people's concerns
