@WashedOutGundamPilot Being a married man definitely has made my outlook far different than when I was single. That is, I am able to see the world "from the other side" instead of wondering what it would be like to be married and have that be a major part of my life.
While you do find out that it is not as different as you thought it might be, you no longer have the thoughts weighing you down about what it will/would be like.
For young men who want that but can't have that, I am sympathetic.
