Reasons why men fear marriage.

I am sure we all know at least one guy that has chosen not to marry and we wonder why he never chooses a girl to wed. Is it because he enjoys his single life that much? Is it due to the fact that men don’t have a ticking clock on when they can have babies? Or is it that they just never found the right one?

In many cases men tend to have a fear of making the wrong decision. They fear marrying the wrong woman. Imagine getting married to a woman you think you love but then a “better” woman comes along. You end up kicking yourself for making the wrong decision and marrying too quickly.

Then other men tend to not want children. What is the rush then? If they don’t want children they don’t want to put themselves into a marriage that will bind them to one woman. If they happen to get a woman pregnant they can move on and not have to be a real father to the child. They can either disappear all together or give the mother money in order to stay away.

The men that have a lot of money fear losing it to a bad marriage. If they get divorced she could get everything and they don’t want that. She could get money that he earned for years before he met her. If there are children he really could end up paying a lot of money. The other thought is having to continue to pay after the divorce.

Men that are not financially stable sometimes tend to be afraid to go out on dates fearing he wouldn’t be able to afford to pay for her. Even if he was able to afford paying for the dates he will fear getting too serious since he won’t be able to afford the expense of raising a family.

All in all men tend to chicken out from the idea of marriage. There are many men that do like to the idea of marriage and the idea of a family but many men of today are simply afraid of divorce. They grew up in a generation that had more divorces than any other which is why they prefer to make sure they are making the right decision.
