None for me. If it weren’t for the possibility of a child I would actually look at the arrangement as health hazardous like a Benzo addiction or something.
You don't need a wife to raise a kid. So is that even a reason?

I feel that. I won't even live with a woman, let alone marry one. I only needed to make that mistake once. I knew what I knew now 20 years ago, I could have avoided that mess.
You need a lot of money to raise a kid by yourself. It costs like $100K for a woman to take in vitro fertilization and carry your kid to term. I briefly considered it.
I consider myself lucky to have never married. When I was 28 or so, I lived briefly with a woman and she did a lot of nasty, spiteful shit that I was legally powerless against and for a year I walked around day dreaming about murdering her, so I can only imagine what it would be like to have a nasty divorce and have some woman use your kid against you and having to coordinate your visits with her and some other dude. I’m getting angry just thinking about it!
You can have a kid with a girlfriend. Still a lot of risks, child support if things go bad, but still better than being married and living with a woman.
