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.
It’s just a lesser nightmare. I can’t kiss some bitch’s ass to roll up in her pussy. I’m 15-20 years past that life stage. I just want to be left alone to live out my years and hopefully die peacefully in my sleep.
