Since when did marriage become a necessity?
I really don't like Asian culture and its constant enforcement of marriage.

I was brought up, (by the television), to believe that marriage was the ultimate goal of any woman. Saturday morning around 6 a.m. used to have some pretty old re-runs. 😂
I don't think marriage guarantees a good mate for life, and it doesn't make the people who are involved in it good or caring people. However, if you are trying to raise a child,(or children), all alone, with one income, it becomes obvious pretty quickly that things will be very, very hard for you AND for the child.
I still remember kicking the 3rd ex out of the house midway through our marriage, because he tried to lock our son out of the house at night. He would have left my son in the parking lot, in the cold, with nowhere to sleep.
My son constantly lost his house keys. I was actually surprised and felt pretty lucky when the ex actually left. It broke up my entire family because my mother became unhinged during the house key losing period, also.
At any rate, there I was, alone, with my son, and no way to pay all the bills. I was already working full time, at a good job, but I just wasn't making enough. I had to get a second job after the first one was over. I was being forced to leave my child alone all those hours, and I had an hour commute each way from Boston. Imagine if I had to do that from his infancy? He would have been raised by strangers.
